LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I don't believe that and it saddens me that people actually believe that. Just look at an older couple happily celebrating their 50th anniversary. They exist and I wish some people could get back to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Why must "the greatest love story" be so tragic? Most of what people are listing are tragic stories. Where's one where things actually end happy? If you think about it, Anya died A: knowing that Xander still loved her B: Had sex with him 2 nights before C: Finally understanding his devotion to his friends and to the world D: Protecting the world. I mean, things probably ain't all happy happy joy joy land in Xanderville(jesus i watch this show to much) but for the most part, it ended well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cavi 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I loved the Xander/Anya ship. I already said it a few times before in this thread back in May, but I hated how she went out. That irked me that Joss admitted he wanted to kill her in that manner. I know, life's not fair and crap, but damn man, I just wanted one final Xander/Anya scene (and for Anya not to have been sliced in half; a stab or two would have been fine). At least Xander wasn't hooked up with someone like Kennedy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 They couldn't do it. Any scene like that would have taken away from the importance of Spike's death...which was the culmination of the entire season (and much longer actually) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That irked me that Joss admitted he wanted to kill her in that manner. I know, life's not fair and crap, but damn man, I just wanted one final Xander/Anya scene (and for Anya not to have been sliced in half; a stab or two would have gotten the job done just fine). At least Xander wasn't hooked up with someone like Kennedy... I'm sorry but I loved how it ended. I even love more that Xander wasn't there to see it and didn't get to see the body. That would have been harder. The final Xander/Anya scene will be him stroking her hair as she was sleep the night before...or him telling her to use Andrew as a human shield. That is fine with me. I know alot of people felt it was wrong for her to die like that, but it was her speech the week before in the hospital with Andrew that made it alright for me. SHe finally got it. She understood and she was willing to die for it all. She was one of my favorite characters on the show and I would have perfered for her to go out that way than the cheesy almost dead yet talking death that other shows get.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Here is a off topic question. I need a new name for my animation company since some asshole went and paid money to have my old one copyrighted(damn law abiding citizens starting thier own companies the right way) I want to use a obscure Buffy reference. So far I am thinking Troll Logic or Evil Bunnies(don't really like this one, but hey...its funny) I need suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Nice sig Superstar. I see someone else is taking advantage of Buffyworld's videocaps as well. There's enough there to create a great new sig every day for the next decade or more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2003 It should be noted that "I Only Have Eyes for You" is a fabulous episode, if only for the Buffy/Angel part. I think it's a great episode because it sets up the end of the season perfectly. Everything about the story of that episode mirrors what Buffy is going through and it puts her in the frame of mind she needed to kill Angel. Oh and Buffyworld's vid caps are really really dark sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavi 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2003 The WB being big mouth bitches basically took away the impact of Spikes death for me. It was still sad but only if I didn't know he would be on Angel. I agree. If I hadn't known he was returning, it would have been a lot more meaningful for me. I'm still not sold on him returning anyway; I've made sure to avoid the spoilers so hopefullly it's good stuff. I like Troll Logic and Shirty Inc. (though as LaParka said, would be better suited for a company that does shirts and the like). "Don't walk away from me, bitch" is a classic line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't notice how relevant the whole scene was until Buffy and Angel got in their roles. Plus it had Spike getting out the wheel chair at the end, and that just owns all.

I guess WB doesn't like it when one of their shows is actually good, it has to be 7th Heavenish. Plus the budget got caught, so that means there will be less special effects.
