Nope.  It's usually unexpected.  You just have to look for the colored

Yesterday was the first time that they ever even went into the chat room
(execpt for Lost Boy...he was in there two days ago with me and 2 other
people...he was testing out iCHAT).  So the answer is no.

Yes!  Did you see the look on Buffy's face when she came back to life?
She was definately a changed slayer.  And add to this the fact that she
started fighting like never before....  I don't know... Oh, and Sarah
mentioned in the TV Guide article that something was definately going to
be different about Buffy BECAUSE of that death experience.
I think that it has something to do with her next step as a slayer- that
perhaps a taste of her own mortality has awakened something new in her.
We know so little about what being the Slayer entails (we don't have a
manual)
Anyhow- my vote is that this will definately fascilitate some sort of
change in Buffy's manner (maybe a temporary one)- and will somehow lead
to her enhancing her skills.  I did get the sense that her
"resurrection" was part of the prophesy- and that it means a lot more
than getting CPR and finishing the battle.  I think it is rather a
beginning of its own...

Subject: BUFFY: ARTICLE: Buffy Stakes Her Future in Vampires

Here's the article someone mentioned at:
http://smash.mgz.com/tv/features/buffy.html

Cast picture (sans David/Charisma) no mention of Tony :P

Buffy Stakes Her Future in Vampires
All You Have to Fear, Is Fear Herself

by Valarie Thorpe

Do you dare to enter the House of The Vampire?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the sole break-out cult hit for WB last year, is
launching into its sophomore year. Although not a big ratings competitor
with the big four, it has garnered a very devout niche crowd. The
mid-season premiere show debuted with a two-hour pilot March 10 and has
grabbed an impressive media watch over its 12 episode run this summer.
They received the holy grail coverage this week, with the cover of the TV
Guide.

Buffy, played by daytime Emmy award-winning Sarah Michelle Gellar, is
based on the 1992 movie scripted by Joss Whedon. No newcomer to movie
scripting, Whedon also wrote the script for the upcoming Alien
Resurrection film and serves as executive producer for the Buffy TV
series.

Although the TV series is based on the film, there are distinct
differences. Where the movie was campier in tone, the TV series is
grittier.

"I wanted to give the series a wider range and by making it a little more
serious, I felt that would help open it up," Whedon said.

Another element of the show that has helped entice the younger
demographics is the music. Whedon said he likes to have some of the lesser
known bands provide music for the episodes to give them a little exposure.
If audience feedback is any indication, bands to watch out for are Sprung
Monkey, Velvet Chain and Superfine. Whedon even has plans for a Buffy CD
release.

"I like hiring the unsigned bands because they're cheap," he said,
laughing. "No, not really. A lot of great bands just don't get enough
exposure."

Sarah (Buffy) Gellar is a New York City native who had studied Tae Kwon Do
for several years before the kickboxing Buffy character came into her
life. Her Emmy-winning performance came with a stint on the daytime soap
All My Children.

Buffy takes the lead, but it truly is an ensemble cast with Nicholas
Brendon as Xander Harris, one of Buffy's faithful sidekicks. He says
playing a character going back to high school isn't all what it's cracked
up to be, even on TV.

"Sometimes I envy the ones who die," he said laughing. "Not really, it's a
great role and the camaraderie between the cast makes it a great show to
work for."

Brendon also did soap time with The Young and the Restless, along with
roles in Children of the Corn III and Dave's World.

Alyson Hannigan, who plays Willow, feels a little differently from her
co-star about going back to high school.

"It's not too bad," she said. "It's not like we have to do homework or
anything."

Hannigan's character Willow plays another of Buffy's sidekicks. She's the
girl-next-door type with a twist, since she helps to do battle with
legions of undead monsters.

Hannigan, in keeping with the other show's actors, is no stranger to
television acting. She's guest starred on Roseanne, Picket Fences and
Touched By an Angel.

So what's coming up for this show's characters? Whedon wouldn't let on
much, but one popular character, Angel, will return in a more prominent
role. Angel, played by David Boreanaz, plays the vampire with a heart, so
to speak. He is attracted to Buffy, as she is for him, but it's hard for
love to bloom between a vampire and the town's anointed vampire slayer.

As evidenced by the turnout at a San Diego Comic Con panel, vampires can
still draw a crowd. Whedon, Hannigan and Brendon stopped in to answer
questions about the show, after filming the very first episode of the
second season until 5 a.m. that very morning. That sort of fan dedication
will pay off, as audience members were clamoring for the good seats.
Attendees had a lot on their minds. Will Xander and Willow ever lead
fulfilled lives as mere sidekicks? Will Buffy ever find love? Better yet,
will she ever find love with someone other than a monster? "She probably
won't ever get a boyfriend that isn't a monster," Whedon said. "But it
might be a nice monster."

Angel knew Buffy was the Slayer.  How?  Since the Slayer's identity,
due to the danger, must be kept a closely guarded secret, just as a
secret agent's identity must be kept secret.  Has there been any
explanation given in subsequent episodes? Any information would be
appreciated.

Santa Clara is in Northern California bub. It's probably a good bet to fly

from Great America, although I can't remember which one. I think it's a
Westin Hotel. I went to a convention there once...

Half vampire, half human. I think he was called a Vampyr (pronunced
"VAM-PEER"), or something, but that's off topic.

ObBuffy: How many people out there think it would be interesting if some
sort of vampire hybrid were to appear next season? Either a half
vampire/human combination of sorts, or something else? I think it might be
interesting (if not exceedingly gruesome) to see the child of a vampire,
were it biologically possible.

I don't believe that the electricity *killed* Moloch. Of course, I don't
remember if, by the end of the episode, Moloch had been put back into the
book. Was he? Or did they put him somewhere else? Anyway, to return to the
matter at hand, the electricity was enough to drive Moloch from the body he
had created, because it wasn't physically stable enough to inhabit. Of
course it didn't kill him, he's a demon for crying out loud!

Teacher's Pet is on next Monday at 9pm. It's been aired quite a bit. I'm
surprised you missed it. It's an ok episode, not one of the best in my
opinion. Xander's dream sequence at the beginning is a killer, though.

Ok. Everyone is talking about whether the holder has to have belief to
use the cross or not. What if it's just the vampire's belief? WHat if it
is just because they believe that it will hurt them, it does? I could be
completely off here.
ObBuffy: As much as I hate to say this, I think the triangle thing with
Buffy/Xander/Angel is perfect as it is. I don't think Buffy and Xander
would ever hook up. And the whole thing with Buffy and Angel and them
not able to be together but they still want to be, IMO, adds to the
show. Don't get me wrong. I dream of the day when they can be together.
But I just don't think it'll happen soon (Joss, please prove me wrong!).
It would be great as a series finale, though.

Hmm.  After Giles and Calendar fail to bring him back into the book, I
assumed he was stuck in the body.  After the Robomoloch was destroyed, no
mention was made of whether the demon was returned to the book.  I assumed
that poor Moloch was no more;  the agents of evil seem to have tragically
brief lives when they enter Buffy's world.  However, some have broached the
interesting possibility that Moloch was not in fact destroyed, merely
incapacitated, waiting for the day he would be reassembled.  This seems
reasonable to me (if he could be destroyed by destroying his physical
vessel, wouldn't burning the book have made more sense than archiving it?)
If you all recall, when someone joked that the fan name "Slayerite" sounded
like a mineral, I jokingly envisioned the new Robomoloch being powered by
Slayerite, the only known weakness of the Slayer.  heh heh heh.  I never
fail to amuse myself, while my success rate with others is less impressive.

Ah,  I feel lucid.

JJ

P.S.  has anyone else noticed that this whole, tired "Xander is dead"
thread bears a startling resemblance to the whole "Paul is dead" Beatles
phenomenon?  An apocryphal story for us to tell our grandchildren someday.

Okay... I'm kind of assuming that Prophecy Girl will be the last rerun
to air before the new season, only because it would make sense to air it
before the next coming ep after that.
And it figures that Angel will be on the week before that... it will
keep the ratings up and all...

Ouch! There oughtta be a leash law for these weasels. Just the sort of
trouble I didn't mean to stir up.

Q. Why didn't the vampire suck blood off the lawyer?

A: Professional courtesy.

Kim, I think it's great of you to be doing all the work and taking all the
responsibility,  You the (wo)man. You make 'em, we wear 'em.

obBuffy:  Relating to the thread about Cordelia being a vamp:  Take a close
look at the chompers of our favorite foursome.  You will notice a certain
set of canines more prominent than the others.  (The canines are the teeth
that become fangs in a vampire.)

Who is it?

It's WILLOW!  She has menacing canines!  And she seems so sweet!

But I had a sudden realization yesterday, that Willow is a closet Goth.
She has the total personality, all she's lacking is the proclivity for
black and the pallid look.  She has that widow's peak in her hair, just
like Elvira.  And those canines!  She would be an awesome vampire.  Rich
dramatic possibilities, I think.

Slay on!

But don't forget Willow's affection for Xander- it is more like a
rectangle.
does anyone else still get chills when they think of how Xander behaved
when he was possessed by the hyena (i.e. jumping Buffy and telling off
Willow) (esp. since it was definately rooted from a part of him!- no
memory loss- he WAS conscious)

I don't know if I'm convinced that Moloch was destroyed, either, merely by
electrocution. Now, he may not have been released from the robotic shell
he'd inhabited, but more likely was cut off from using it as a tool somehow.
Perhaps, as witnessed when the book was scanned in, if someone were to
reactivite Roboloch then he might be able retake control.

Then again, were Moloch "destroyed" in some way, I'd have to say, that since
he's such an ancient demon, that he was more than likely transported back to
the bowels of Hell than wiped from existence.

Or, Buffy could have some kind of opportunity to go back in time (or
something like that) and prevent Angel from becoming a vamp. She would have
to choose between her desire for him to stay as he is so she can be with him
(not prevent him from becoming a vampire), or prevent him from getting the
suffering she knows he must endure, therefore letting him live a normal life
way back then, having him die of natural causes or something, knowing she
would then never encounter him again in her lifetime. (Did that make sense?
I"ll try again another time if you guys really wanna know and don't get
it...I just read it over and it doesn't really work, but ok.)

Also, just thought I'd mention the various things today that made me think of
Buffy. Seriously, my thoughts about the show are always in my mind, and these
little things just refresh them. I was looking in a mag today and saw an ad
for Todd Oldham's shoes for Keds or something. I then thought of Cordelia. I
was walking down the street (in the city) and saw a truck for Master Heat and
Plumbing. As my car (the car my mom was driving) was leaving a garage, there
was a sign that said "Poverty sucks." ("It's like a whole big sucking thing.)
THEN, when I came home, on the cover of my bro's issue of Sports Illustrated,
it said "A Keeper". Ahhh! Hope this letter was on topic, and even though you
guys have said what ObBuffy is, I still don't completely get it and when to
use it. If I was supposed to have used it in this letter, soooooooooo sorry,
I'm just kinda slow. The show is the best!

Oh, also, while I was @ my haircut place, I saw the TV Guide for this week,
but was too stupid to check what eps of Buffy are this Sun and Mon. Anyone
know which ones they are? Thanks a bunch.

I was rewatching WttH last night (for the 5th time) and noticed a few lines
that were said twice (besides the "what's the sitch?"):

We already discussed the whole thing w/ hone in, and as I was rewatching the
computer scene, it sounded like Cordelia said the same thing. "Excuse me, but
who gave you permission to exist? Do we hone in on your conversations?"

Also, Cordelia said in the beginning lunch scene, "What's her deal?" Later
on, someone else said it, though I forget who. Sorry!

Unfortunately, this "wearing something to identify each
other by" idea worked miserably at ComicCon.  The items
weren't very visible (when worn at all) and people seemed
reluctant to approach strangers even after seeing them.
It would probably work even worse at the much larger Great
America.

Prearranged plans to meet beforehand are the only way to go!
If you are in BABS (Bay Area Buffy Society), Chris C. and
I will be getting in touch with you by email to arrange a
group field trip to go see Xander.  Yay!

Buffy received a nomination in the make-up category.  Joss Whedon was
not nominated, the make-up artists were.  If they win, they accept the
Emmy, not Joss.  Producers usually accept the awards if the show is
nominated, as in the case of Chris Carter and the X-Files.
Some of the Buffy people may very well be at the Emmys.  It isn't as
difficult to get tickets to the Emmys as it is for the Oscars.

I used to be a seat filler at the Emmys when I worked at Fox.  That
means anytime a celebrity gets up to use the restroom or go backstage,
one of our ranks would run down and sit in their seat until they
returned.
