I am a much bigger fan of W&T now then I was when it was airing
Sentiments like this make me face up to the show not being on, and I normally delude myself so well. Look - reruns. See, show still on! Pain. pain in my heart. Must go eat lunch.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?
Wesley ,'Chosen'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

I just watched "Conversations with Dead People" on FX this morning -- that would be an excellent Halloween episode. .. although lacking in Xander.

Yeah CWDP is great even with the lacking of Xander.
Too bad we have to wait until Nov 4th for 8.5 the Halloween episode for this season...I hear it is gonna be great. I hate to give away casting spoilers but Ethan Rayne is supposedly in the episode...could this be where we finally find out that Giles is actually Ethan Rayne?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally caught up to this thread. *headshake* So many times I wanted to reply to stuff, but it was posted 6 months ago and posting it now would seem kind of silly.
It's a shame FX bumped the afternoon Buffy reruns two hours earlier. It was nice to be able to come home from work and unwind with the show. Ah well.

Yeah I hear you on the bumping back of Buffy in the afternoons. That would have killed me back when I didn't work overnights. Now I get off at 5 AM and am ready to watch 2 episodes at 6 and 7 in the morning. Great way to end/start my day.

I do wish they'd gone with Xander coming out, maybe the rest of the show would have been a little less girl-power heavy, with Xander having a real story line of his own.

Given that the show was all about the girl power from the get-go, I'm not sure how having Xander be gay would somehow magically change that.

Yeah, and Xander probably would have had to play out that real storyline in absentia via letters to Willow and Buffy from West Hollywood. Remember, there would have been a year and a half on the WB before the network switch, and they were antsy enough about the less controversial lesbian couple.

Well, there's girl power, then there's "the only people who have any significant role to play in the last two years of the story are female--or dead." Being a guy in Sunnydale definitely seemed like a boring thing to be. The whole Slayer-empowerment montage in "Chosen" was one painful anvil after another. I saw Willow being gay as just another anvil labelled "Guys are occasionally fun to have around, but fairly irrelevant to our lives".

Season 8 has really been making up for the lack of Xander in the past few seasons. His volatile love affair with Andrew is proving to be one of the hottest in the history of the show...especially when they did Dr Who role playing in 8.4.
