I love Julie Benz - I’m excited to see all these Buffy peeps on this show. Since I’m stuck working at home full time for a long time I might just start watching it while I’m working. Nice! That was my purpose in making the thread to talk about the classic! Julie's character features in an episode I love so much because it's the first one that tackles important themes in the series and she acted her part so well Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darla was such an amazing character and it came from Julie playing this unnamed vamp female so well that they turned it into such an integral part of both shows. I love her in Dexter and the Boondocks Saints sequel. She’s done some other shows that I need to find and watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I watched Angel I wasn't sure if I'd like it but I heard about Illyria and I was so fascinated by the character. Amy did the roles well.

My point was despite being a smaller show, it has served longevity and influenced a lot of shows after it finished airing. That I will NOT argue with 💗 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio 5,088 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 3 hours ago, Doot said: Then explain why Mindhunter was cancelled despite it receiving universal acclaim. Or how GoT was nominated for awards for its final season despite the General Public absolutely hating it. Also explain why Bad Romance peaked at #2. Subjective I guess. I'll change my wording. In the general OVERALL consensus, winning industry awards of that magnitude and getting rave critic reviews often means a great show. Cancellations occur for a variety of reasons, normally due to viewership, money and Netflix's fickle decisions. As for GoT, not everyone hated it. It was nominated because Season 8 was still far better than most shows on TV, it just wasn't "Thrones standard". Any non-biased hater of Season 8 would know that. Not replying anymore. Discussed my opinion & experience of Buffy as a show, my personal opinion & experience. Buffy just seemed a little messy, repetitive and insubstantial for me. Characters seemed & acted a little dumb, I guess if I stuck with it til the end I would see some better character development and better acting, I dunno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But enough spoiling you. I hope to hear from you when you start the show. And can we talk about Lilah Morgan? Loved her character, too.

I love fan theories and stuff like that - that one sounds interesting. I’ll keep that in mind when I watch. And YASSSSS Lilah. OMG I love her. She was such a bada**. She’s a great example of how the simplest seeming characters had so many layers on these shows. Her and Wesley’s relationship was some great writing too.

This will forever be one of Lornes best lines: Wesley, would you please warn this walking infection that I havent forgotten how she poked my head open like a Capri-Sun and while my love for humanity allows me to tolerate her presence, if need be I will smack her down!
