@cmccormack414.bsky.social @beerwithbuffy.bsky.social @iannitram.bsky.social @lanidianerich.com Question for all Buffy watchers but what the hell did the writers see in the Riley character as I don't get it, I never understood the appeal ? The character was boring, had no chemistry with Buffy

@iannitram.bsky.social @lanidianerich.com You're Welcome on the Rewatch For everyone that doesn't know this was meant to be the episode Buffy would be on. SMG couldn't do it, said for a bereavement and Joss Whedon was genuinely angry over this. David Fury and others confirmed this.

@lanidianerich.com @iannitram.bsky.social So Damage on the rewatch , even if you don't watch Angel you should definitely watch this 1 episode as its a direct sequel to Buffy finale Chosen, with psychotic Vampire Slayer Dana. Watching her literally hack a person's head off with a saw is grim and I

@iannitram.bsky.social @lanidianerich.com @lackofsurprise.bsky.social So skipping ahead to episode 8 Destiny. Spike is now no longer a ghost and back to normal in this. Its also the episode Wesley isn't in because Alexis Denisof was getting married to Alyson Hannigan. One of the funniest exchanges

@lanidianerich.com @iannitram.bsky.social @lackofsurprise.bsky.social So Unleashed, it could've but wasn't a great episode. 1) The Actress who played Nina was terrible. The actual character is interesting but the actress, whose sole qualification was dating a writer, can't act to save her life

@storanorrland.bsky.social @artemisapphire.bsky.social so Iv finished the 2 parter Bad Girls and Consequences. Both are good episodes though not perfect. Wesley is a big issue. Now I know the writers have said he was supposed to be dislikable etc. For me that is the point, he was written to 1

@iannitram.bsky.social @lackofsurprise.bsky.social Was listening to your video on Beneath You. Jack, Joss has said he only had a 5 year arc and by S7 he was burnt out which given they rehash old scripts makes me very sceptical of that whole 9 season thing. As for Father figures Ian what about Sisko

@martinoxon.bsky.social Doing a rewatch of Buffy and enjoying it so far. Though I'm on Suprise and the line by Buffy saying Drusilla might not be dead they never saw her body ! made me want to respond well given Vampires turn to dust when killed, no you wouldn't see a body 🤨😏

@janeespenson.bsky.social If anyone wants to cheat and use AI for writing. This should be a good real life warning. I asked AI to do a non actor image of Buffy based on the script description only. It gave me this. I then asked it to do the same for Spike and Angel and it gave me this 😂

@cmccormack414.bsky.social So I was listening your Dog Soldiers review. Yeah it is trying to be darkly humorous at some points. British humour is a thing that might be tough for Americans. Good practice is Blackadder and Allo Allo and Fawltey Towers as a warm up 😄
