Based on the watcher's guide volume 1, (ok, i just outed myself as a full blown buffy geek

) Kendra's people were aware of vampires and her parent's knew that she was destined to become a slayer so they sent her to be trained by her watcher sam zabuto at a very early age. She was then "activated" when buffy died the first time.

i have no idea how they knew though. magic?

i know what you mean, about the accent i mean

i think they modeled him and drusilla after sid and nancy. and it's really weird hearing james marsters and juliet landau without their cockney accents

No you're not. So do I.

BTW, TVGuide.com has a poll on who's hotter, James or Nicky Brendon. Go here to vote.

Love Nicky but James4Evah!

There's supposed to be a mole at her back that Joyce had removed when she was very young. Or that could be from the movie na.

*sigh* i am surrounded by spike lovers. For the record, i liked him better when he was a real villain.

as for james marsters, honestly, doesn't the knowledge that he doesn't wear underwear just make you go eeew?

oh hey, james pic for you guys

BTW, does anyone know if the David letterman show episodes they're airing now are current? last time i tuned in they were still talking abotu who would win the world cup. Anyway, was asking 'cause eliza dushku is supposed to be a guest on tuesday and she's making the big annoncement abuot whether she's coming back to buffy or not.

If that's the criterion for "full blown buffy geek," then what do you call someone who has The Watcher's Guide Volumes 1&2, The Sunnydale High Yearbook, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Monster Book, and a well-preserved copy of the EW "All About Buffy" issue?

hey that's right acid... congrats on your being a duktura! read it on the other message board and your mum told me mum (in case you don't know who i am, just ask PJ -- whose posts i miss a lot!

).

about letterman, they just aired two-weeks worth of reruns last week. i think it's a cycle they have for late night shows, just to give dave and the writers a break. eliza, i believe, will be appearing tonight.

spike kasi looks like someone i just can't put my finger on it. and i like him more than angel... i don't take to brooders that much.

but animal magnetism yes!

acidburn · « **Reply #223 on:** Aug 28, 2002 at 12:37 AM »

thanks!

and of course i know you, PJ told me when i first signed up here.

and about spike looking like something you know...you sure it's not just the bleached hair?

edited to add some more buffy news:

At SFX last Sunday, Nick Brendan was asked whether the cast was signed to Season 8. His reply...

Nick, Alyson and James are signed through Season 9. He said that didn't guarantee 2 more years of BTVS after this year, but if it did they were certainly up for it.

personally, i would prefer that BTVS end after this season than see it do an xfiles.

sungit · « **Reply #224 on:** Aug 28, 2002 at 01:19 AM »

you never know. david caruso left NYPDBlue and it still survived. jolina magdangal left Arriba-Arriba and it's still going on in ABS-CBN (unfortunately).

i suppose i just find british accents sexy. and i think "paul" in rent looks more like justin timberlake. hehe

Many shows survive departures of main characters. Most famously, people were concerned about Shelley Long's departure from "Cheers", which actually revitalized the show. Next season, Noah Wyle will be the only original cast member who's been on all seasons of "ER". "M*A*S*H" and "Charlie's Angels" also went through various cast revisions, to varied degrees of success.

The main difference, though, is that in none of these cases was the show actually named after the departing character.

But historically, this has happened to a title character in a series. After her dispute with the show's producers, Valerie Harper was fired from her show "Valerie", which was a family sitcom where she played the mother. So the following season, they replaced her with Sandy Duncan and the show was retitled "Valerie's Family". That was a transition title, and the year after that, the show's title was again changed to "The Hogan Family."

Getting back on-topic, I would never watch a "Dawn, The Teenage Slayer" spin-off. But if Eliza Dushku's movie career takes a nosedive in the next 10 months... count me THERE for "You Gotta Have Faith".

I would never watch "Dawn the Vampire Slayer", but would stay glued to the TV for "Faith the Vampire Slayer"!!!

For those spoiled up to the end of S6 only:
[color=#EEEEE]So you don't think it's jumped the shark yet? Because I do. It should have ended S5. If it were to continue, I want Marti Noxious OUT OF THERE.
[/color]

Also, I wouldn't mind the loss of SMG, cause I don't tune in to see her anyways. As a presence, SMG's more of a take-her-or-leave-her for me. Aly's a MUCH better actress. And presence-and-charisma wise, she gets totally snowed over by JM and ASH. So kebs kung mawala siya. Am more concerned with the loss of any new stories. The well's going dry, people.

The Stig · « **Reply #229 on:** Aug 28, 2002 at 06:26 PM »

saw letterman at lunchtime. one of his guests was eliza dushku looking hot as ever

alas no news regarding BtVS though

acidburn · « **Reply #230 on:** Aug 28, 2002 at 09:28 PM »

yeah, saw that too. I guess they really wanted publicity for the movie. darn.

Holly: totally agree with you re: SMG. I actually started watching buffy because of willow. I miss quirky funny willow.

I completely disagree with both of you. Sarah is what keeps me glued to the screen - looks, acting, presence, charisma... the whole package. I find it funny... it's common for me to find that women aren't fond of SMG, but ALL GUYS are.

Just so we're clear, I still don't give a rat's ass about S7. That said, the new season promo is here. Arrggghh. Mostly S6 footage, but three shots are new, I think. And Dawn's still non-dead. What's up with that?

pagan · « **Reply #234 on:** Aug 29, 2002 at 03:28 PM »

Hmm.. it seems that most of the shots are from Season 6. Darn. I wanna see footage from the first few S7 eps...

Dushku staked out for 'Buffy'
Aug. 29, 2002

It's good news for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fans: Evil vampire slayer Faith is set to return to the UPN drama series. Eliza Dushku has signed on to reprise her role as Faith this season in five episodes of "Buffy" and three episodes of the WB Network's spinoff "Angel," both from writer-producer Joss Whedon and 20th Century Fox TV. Dushku appeared on "Buffy" alongside the show's star Sarah Michelle Gellar from 1998-2000. She also guest-starred as Faith on "Angel." The actress' busy feature schedule has kept her away from the "Buffy" franchise, but now she has committed to appear in the final five episodes of the original series this season. There has been speculation that this might be "Buffy's" last year, but reps for the studio stress that no decision has been made. Dushku's feature credits include "Bring It On" and "Soul Survivors." The actress, who is shooting "Wrong Turn," next appears in "City by the Sea" opposite Robert De Niro and Frances McDormand. She is repped by ICM and the Firm. (Nellie Andreeva)

some more news re: eliza dushku

the episodes of angel and buffy she's going to be in will apparently involve a cross-over plot and it's going to be near the end of the season.

darn. this means we have to stick it out till the end even if the season sucks.

end of news.

Now regarding SMG, it's not that i don't find her hot and talented and stuff. i just like willow more.

re: the promo.

i watched it the other day (or was it yesterday?) and all i can say is "back to school, back to cool" is totally lame. who thinks up these ads? they sound like the ads for RPN 9.
