Anya

Buffy vs. Anyanka was good. Emma looks really cool with the sword. Season 5 Anya is the best, that is true. I like how enthusiastic she is. In season 4 she always spoke with this really blunt, straight forward tone. In S5 she seems so excited about the world and all this new stuff she is experiencing. It's funny just thinking about the whole chicken feet thing. She is so hateful and bitter in season 7. It's like they went out of their way to try and make her unlikable. Just like Giles and Buffy in that season.

The Gift is my favorite ep ever, from any writer. Most season openers are boring, but Anne is especially lame. I always thought Nightmares was very boring. It drags on so much. Even Joss seems to agree that it was weak in the Restless commentary.

Ok.... Once More, With Feeling (6.07) Loyalty* (3.15) OMWF is too fun! I love the songs. It's so much fun to watch, to listen to and to sing along with. I know I'm not the only here that does that..... Waiting in the Wings* (3.13) Graduation Day, Part 2 (3.22) The shot of Angel leading the kids into battle against the vamps is one of my all time favorites. Sleep Tight* (3.16) Dead End* (2.18) I always thought Lindsay's turn came too easily and out of no where. Why is he so disgusted by the people in the test tubes? He surely has seen worse. Benediction* (3.21) Spin the Bottle* (4.06) Wes' sword is cool! Hush (4.10) Tabula Rasa (6.08) Really tough one. I think both are slightly overrated, yet still like them. I love the Giles/Anya shippage in Tabula Rasa! Hush has the Gentlemen though... Lies My Parents Told Me (7.17) Earshot (3.18) LMPTM is badly placed, has like no Xander/Anya/Andrew action and makes Giles look like a jerk. Boo to that. Earshot is classic. Poor Jonathan is soaking wet in it. Lover’s Walk (3.08) Lullaby* (3.09) I like how Darla manages to give birth while Holtz just casually walks through the fire in slow mo. Becoming, Part 1 (2.21) Check Point (5.12) Checkpoint is HISTORIC. We learn Anya's full name! Well her fake one anyway. "Willow's a demon?" never gets old. Not Fade Away* (5.22) Intervention (5.18) I love Intervention. I mean, Buffybot's vision with the info about Xander and Anya is just awesome. But even so, NFA is just incredible. It gives me chills! I've seen it like 30 times and it's still intense. There’s No Place Like Plrtz Glrb* (2.22) Dirty Girls (7.18) Yuck. The Plyea arc is just boring but DG has a tramuatizing moment and no Emma. I guess TNPLPG wins out. At least it has that big battle vibe and the great cliffhanger. Doppelgangland (3.16) To Shanshu in LA* (1.22) TSILA is kind of boring. Dopplegangland is a major big deal though! It's basically the beginning of Anya! Plus it has some really funny moments. Shells* (5.16) Restless (4.22) I've always found Restless to be kind of boring. It's really cool at first, but it just drags on. A hour is too long for something so weird and without a regular direction. Forgiving* (3.17) Angel (1.07) One of those examples where one scene(the end) makes the whole ep. Hero* (1.09) Becoming, Part 2 (2.22) Love the sword fight. The music is cool. Reunion* (2.10) Amends (3.10) I really like FE, well except one of it's Bringers. Reunion is kind of boring, except for it's one big scene. I don't care much for Darla. Graduation Day, Part 1 (3.21) Origin* (5.18) Not that I like Origin that much. It's decent. But part 1 of a 2 parter is just build. You’re Welcome* (5.12) School Hard (2.03) Love the Doyle moment. So touching. First soldier down. Grave, Part 2 (6.22) Five by Five* (1.18) I thought the Faith arc in Angel season 1 was kind of boring. The torture scenes with Wesley are cool though. But Grave is just cool. Anya teleporting! The way she says "No you're not!" when Giles saying he's dying is great. Also this ep has her pilgram outfit, which is...interesting. Innocence, Part 2 (2.14) Cavalry* (4.12) The Judge is Shao Kahn in MK Annihilation. That automatically makes this ep cool. Sanctuary* (1.19) Awakening* (4.10) One of the best swerves ever! Again, not too impressed with the Faith arc. Buffy is such a bitch. A Hole in the World* (5.15) Redefinition* (2.11) The thing that pisses me off about Redefinition is that it hypes this huge battle but never delievers. AHITW is just depressing. Chosen (7.22) Apocalypse Nowish* (4.07) The more I watch Chosen the more I like it. Even though there's a lot of things I hate about it, including one part which hurts me just to think about, I still like it. AN is a pretty cool ep, but I think it's overrated. Darla* (2.07) Fool For Love (5.07) Darla is BORING. Both the character, the arc and this ep. Destiny* (5.08) The Gift* (5.22) The Gift is the single greatest thing ever. The Body (5.16) Home* (4.22) The Body is awesome every time I watch it. Nobody has ever captured death on film as well as this. Anya's speech makes me get all emotional, especially after Chosen. Orpheus* (4.15) Prophecy Girl (1.12) I hate "inside people's minds" eps. They're boring. PG is really cool. Too bad the final battle wasn't that long. I Will Remember You* (1.08) Halloween (2.06) Eww I don't really love either. IWRY is a good story though. Passion (2.17) Damage* (5.11) Not even Andrew can save Damage. The Wish (3.09) The Prom (3.20) OH MY GOD. Hahaha...I can't believe this. This has to be on purpose. The first appearance of Anya...vs...the beginning of Xanya. Uhhhh.....I guess The Prom. Cause like, it lead to ANDREW's debut too. Reprise* (2.15) Salvage* (4.13) The shop owner returning, the Senior partner, Holland's speech....great stuff. This Years Girl, Part 1 (4.15) Release* (4.14) Not a fan of body switching. Release wins by default. Smile Time* (5.14) Enemies (3.17) Puppet Angel's so cute!

Yeah, it's beyond it. It's the best thing ever. I would NOT name my child Spike or Glory. Now if you had said Alexander or Anya.....

Joss is the greatest. Not only is Buffy the best show ever, it's actually the best thing ever. Like overall. It's the best thing ever invented. Joss is just the best. I don't think "Mutant Enemy" is an X-Men reference. I do know it's named after his typewriter...

Why don't you like Selfless? I demand an explination. and Triangle is more than just bunnies and olaf. I resent that.

That's what you get for the bunny hell stuff. It's karma. Awakening is awesome. I like the Indiana jones vibe.

Yoko Factor must win. It's soo good. You've got the great Angel/Riley fight. Tara and Anya in the bathroom. Giles' drunken "bloody hell..." line. Xander in the army. It's a classic!

I know. I try to, but can't. Every day I try to get over it. I just got Angel S4. Getting all engrossed in that story should take my mind off it....for a while.

Then Buffy sucks. Xander would be really mad. Willow has Kennedy now anyway. I wish I could tell Joss how much this bothers me. I hate how I can't even watch old eps without being stressed out. All so that he could hype ubies and do something shocking. Worst thing ever.

Xander becoming a pirate is kind of a blessing, since the original idea was that he would be killed. In hindsight I would have wanted Anya to get a finger bite off by a rabid bunny if it meant a better ending.

Selfless is only ep 5 of the season. The big FE storyarc hadn't even really started. Hell Bound is boring. Selfless is just non-stop comedy. Any ep with Olaf is good. You can't beat Aud with bunnies. Buffy killing Anya would have been awful. That would mean Anya would die a bitter, hateful villain and Buffy would look so bad. I don't see how Xander could even remain with her if she had done that. Anya should have left town at the end, on a journey to find herself. Her dying is the worst thing Joss has ever done. It ruins Xander's story. Season 4 and on he was defined by his ship with her. They were basically one character. Even when they broke up they were still interacting all the time. I don't understand what Joss was thinking. Was having a shocking death to make ubies look good really worth having such an unsatisfying and horrible end to two major characters? There's no way he thought that out. I can't believe he would think it would be worth it just so he could have his gimmicky sudden death. I also really resent him claiming Chosen is a happy ending. Maybe for Buffy but what about Xander? It's not happy for him! But apparently that doesn't matter. The worst part is that it's FOREVER. When other horrible things happened, like Angel going to hell, Riley leaving, Oz leaving, and so on we could see the characters eventually get over it and move on and be happy again. That's not possible here. Anya wll never return. She'll never get to be a ghost or something. No more flashbacks. Nothing. It's just done forever. The last thing Xander ever does will be just having heard his girlfriend is dead. I used to be able to imagine them in the future. Like they could have kids or something. Now I can't, because she is dead. Everytime I watch eps now I think about it. In The Replacement she is scared of only having 50 years left. Watching that now is extremely depressing cause I know she actually has like 2, with half of one year having her being angry and hateful to Xander. Joss has screwed up my favorite hobby. I can't watch my beloved Xanya scenes in eps without also being depressed. It's just horrible. I would be so much happier if I could watch stuff like All The Way and not have to deal with the knowledge of what happens. Why couldn't they have got a happy ending? I can't stand that he did this just to be shocking. They need to make like a comic or a book or something post-chosen where she comes back to life. Even just Joss saying she eventually comes back would make me happy. I just want to be able to think that they got a happy ending. I want to be able to watch old stuff without being upset. I feel like Joss betrayed me or something. Has anyone seen how Joss planned to bring Tara back? He brought it up at some convention in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Buffy was going to get one wish, a reality altering wish where she could get ANYTHING. She would think about bringing Joyce back or being with Angel. In the end she would bring Tara back to life. It was going to happen in the 3rd to last ep of season 7. So what would happen if she got that wish now? Now both Xander and Willow have dead exs. There's the Kennedy factor too.

How can you not like them? I guess if you hate Andrew I could see not liking ST....but Selfless? I thought you liked anya. How could a fan of hers not like it? It has everything! With a few changes to the end Selfless would have been the perfect way to end the Anya story. I really don't understand why they kept her around after it. Emma is vocal about how she wanted out and they clearly had no clue what to do with her after she became human again. That should have been her big finale.

Because it's Buffy. Even though a lot of it is weaksauce, it's still Buffy. There's tons of mistakes but I still get to watch Xander, Anya, Willow, Andrew and the other characters I love. Also, a lot of the eps are still fresh. I've seen the S1-6 eps countless times, but most of season 7 I've only seen 2 or 3 times. They're still pretty new and exciting to watch. There's also a few that are actually really good, like Storyteller and Selfless. Storyteller is funny and a huge turning point in the Xanya ship and Selfless is basically the Emma Variety Hour. Two classics. The more I watch Chosen the more I like it. A lot of the stuff I hate, like how FE just goes away, I've started to just accept and get over. If it wasn't for what happens to Anya I'd really like the ep. I just can't get over that part no matter how much I try. In fact I think it's actually getting worse. The other day I read a Xander fanfic post-Chosen and was just like devastated.

It'll be sad, but exciting too. I'm really hyped for S7. I want them all lined up. I want to be able to watch Selfess, Storyteller and Chosen anytime with DVD quality. This week I've watched Storyteller once and Chosen twice. The tape quality sucks though.

I don't watch ER!

Is the fat guy receptionist still on the show? I just realized he's OLAF and that makes me want to watch.

I play the PSX JAM all the time. It's ok. Difficulty is overrated. I beat it fairly easily. It starts off really hard but gets easier.

The low point in the Xanya ship is Chosen. What Xander does in Hells Bells is awful, but at least they had a chance to get back together or at least have some break up sex, which ended up happening in Storyteller and Touched. But yeah, it does sort of represent one of the lower points. But it also represents a high point, their engagement and how excited she was about it. She spent a year being obsessed with the coming wedding so it's also kind of nice, even with what happened in the end. I don't really like the dress all that much though. I'd only want it cause it's so historic. If I could have anything of hers it'd be the OMWF butterfly outfit. He is now a lonely pirate. I hate Joss.

If I had 5,000 I'd have bought Anya's wedding dress.

Check it out, Fox is selling a Bringer's knife on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2266812587 It's going for like 1,000 with a couple days left. Crazy... Beast is on TNT right now. It's Habeous Corpses. I miss Gavin.

Honda never leaps into or out of the hot tub. The CPU Bison can do two knee presses in a row, so I guess that's sort of the knee press nightmare. No shadows or anytrhing though.

When MAT 2 comes out they'll lose the best thing about them, MK II for SNES being the best home version. MAT 3 needs NBA JAM TE.

No, actually it does. Inbetween Riley leaving there's the part where she is getting ready for bed and Xander comes in and tells her how much he loves her. That's some good Xanya action.

I wish they'd put out a CD of music from Buffy. Not stupid emo bands at the bronz, but the real score. The music when Riley flies away in ITW is so awesome. What a great scene! One of my favorite moments ever.
