Joss Whedon: BtVS, Angel, all things Joss
Joss is God. I know you're out there... there's definitely fans of the wonderful worlds Joss Whedon has created. So come on out there's really no use hiding! I'll find you. Wait. That sounded somewhat hostile. Hmm. Changing tactics. Why don't you come in and relax a little? We'll talk weapons. Or you know whatever. We can chat about anything in the Buffyverse. Or maybe you more an Angel Inc. sort of person. Dollhouse? Firefly? It's all here. Favorite episodes, moments, story arcs, seasons. Favorite characters, couples, and the wacky things they say and do. Stuff we didn't love. Things that made us cry. Things that shouldn't have happened. Things that never did. |
uhmmm Buffy the vampire Slayer is my favorite show of all time. I currently have three Buffy tattoos, and another two planned :D
|
Do you have any pictures of the ink??
I just finished rewatching season five of Angel. Thinking of starting at the beginning and rewatching all my Buffy dvds but my husband might kill me. He doesn't hate the show but he's not obsessed with it either. Truth be told I made a fan out of him. He plays the roleplaying game with me. Part of that is he just likes to throw dice and our storyline is alternate universe Vamp Willow stuff. |
real name like blah
haha buffy RP is great! I play the TCG..lmfao I really love season 5 of Angel...actually..all of it.. rofl which is why I have the logo tattooed on my back.. |
Freaking EPIC
I really love your feet. That's an odd statement. And I know they're not Buffy tats but so cool! They BtVS tats are insanely cool. Especially the quote. One of the best lines in the whole show because ye gods that's so true. |
haha I only have pop-culture tattoos xP
and yessss thats my favorite quote in the show.. well..there are too others: 1(paraphrasing - this is what I used as my 'senior quote' in my senior yearbook) "You wanna know my philosophy? Life is short. Not original I'll grant you, but its true. Seize the moment 'cause tomorrow you might be dead." and 2 "I made a space for the cheese slices!" rofl |
Best senior quote EVER.
Heh. The cheese, last time we watched season four and Willow tells Riley that Buffy likes cheese, may not be the key to heart but hey "she likes cheese" and Jason smacks his hand on the couch and says WHAT is with JOSS WHEDON and CHEESE?! It's really funny because he keeps making observations like that but doesn't claim fandom. Face it babe I sired you. One of us now. |
hahahahhah that is SO WIN
rofl I love the Cheese guy..he's epic.. Did you watch Dollhouse? Its SO friggin good...I love Joss. |
I didn't get to watch a lot of it. Just the first few eps when they were first airing. Sucks that it got cancelled. I want to pick up the DVD set but I'm trying to sock away funds for a new hot water heater. Stupid grown up responsibilities.
Maybe I should edit this discussion to Joss Whedon in general? Because we're getting off track but there's SO much to talk about! We'd have to limit it to TV ventures though. I heard they might merge the TV and Movie subforums but until then I'll toe the line. So yeah I'm gona fix the first post so we can talk about BtVS, Angel, Dollhouse, Firefly et all. Might even go into Roseanne. |
NETFLIX
rofl thats how I watched it. The second season's finale (also the series finale) made me...like..cry. It was so beautiful and amazing. ROFL Roseanne. I own the firefly boxset AND the Serenity movie..but Ive still yet to watch them..mostly because I watch crap on netflix and am too lazy to go put DVDs in rofl! and/or I watch from the netflix app on my iPod.. and screw grown up responsibilities...guh but I understand..I cant buy like..anything. I had to miss out on the Rainbow Rave (which was friggin amazing) because my boyfriend thing has no job and..he's an expensive guy...rofl but he has an interview..so..fingers crossed.. |
*fingers and toes crossed*
I had to let my Netflix account lapse. They're all mad at me about the whole money thing. Alyson is in a Roseanne ep she's Becky's friend but that's not one of the ones, or the one Joss wrote. I think maybe he only wrote Brain Dead Poet's Society. Not sure. |
Curse you and your sudden but inevitable betrayal...
|
I had no idea that Ally was in an ep of Roseanne! Thats awesome! lmfao
I love joss...he's so great...he wrote a story arc for the XMen comics..its was DELICIOUS and he and I both love Kitty Pride and Colossus, so there was a lot of them in it....so Fiyero was pretty happy. |
*giggle* I never got too into Firefly.
I know, I know shoot me dead. I should probably give it another try. Sometimes things have to grow on me. Edit: Fiyero you would be interested to know there is a painting at my local comic shop featuring Willow, Darth Vader and some other iconic folk that is signed by THE MAN. The artist took it to a comic con and got all these signatures including JOSS the ca-ray-zay part is this painting is for sale. Stupid hot water heater. |
joss actually wrote the screenplay for the xmen movie, but they didnt like it so someone else rewrote it, and they only kept one line from joss's version.
it was "Do you know what happens when a Toad gets hit by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." |
I need to get my ass into gear and watch it..my friend reallllly loves Firefly..lol
OMG I WANT TO SEE THIS PAINTING get picturessss Im actually in issue 23 (I think) of the season 8 comics...in the letters to the editor section. you know my real name from the FB link..so if you have those..go see! Im for serious! lol ashy - lol I loved that line. I really wish I could read a copy of his script..I feel like he'd've done a better job.. |
Oh my gosh! That's so awesome. I don't think I have that issue but I'll dig around. My house looks like an eccentric genius lives in it. Looks like. Everything is scattered about.
I'll try to get a picture next time I go into the shop. I really want to see if they would let me put it in "layaway" like I put a deposit on it and make payments and eventually take it home but i doubt they'll do that. >< Ashy - I thought I'd heard something about that. His vision of Alien: Resurrection was different than the final product as well, but they kept his name on it. Which I read he kind of hates. He's like THAT's not what I had in mind. Same thing with the Buffy movie but hush Joss I love that movie. It's campy as hell but that's okay! I can't wait for The Avengers. Insane THOR fan here. Gah! Veered off into movie territory. I'm blaming you Ashy. *snuggles* |
whenever i go into threads they tend to go off on tangents ><
|
Hey as long as we don't get in trouble for it
then everything's five by five. |
My sister got into Buffy because and instructor as her make-up school worked on it so it was partial required viewing ;), then she got me sucked into it, and it is apparently dubbed the number one television show non one admits they watch. :)
I like season four with the Initiative myself. Didn't watch many of the later ones. We watched "Hush" in my literature and pop. culture class, and I wrote a paper on Adam :D. And you guys forgot Doctor Horrible! How can you forget that? Oh, and didn't watched Firefly at all, but I've seen Serenity a couple times. I know Firefly and Buffy both have RPs but I've never played. "I wear the cheese. The cheese does not wear me." |
I could die of this envy.
Your sister went to makeup school? *dies* And her instructor worked on BtVS? *dies and dies again* Adamology: What grade did you get on it? >< I totally forgot Dr. Horrible. Sorry! |
pssh the glory series is the best one :P
|
Glorificus? I really like her.
Too bad she never met Cordelia. >< |
Don't remember much about Glory. That's about when I stopped watching regularly, though my sister owns all the seasons on DVD so next time I visit we can have a Buffy thon.
I got an A on my paper I'm pretty sure, I'd need to dig it up. I can't remember the exact thesis I used but it dealt with Adam as a skewed ideal and a failure to achieve perfection Frankenstien's Monster. More than a perversion of nature of of techonology and humanity as well. |
Nice! Sounds like solid stuff. Obviously not a fluff piece.
I fully support the notion of a Buffython and encourage you to visit your sister soon! |
Well this was a college literature course so no, fluff doesn't get one good grades. Buffy is actually quite a studdied topic in academia apparently. My sister and I even got my dad into watching it because he wanted to see what professors and such were seeing in the show. Comes with the whole coming of age sort of deal, with regular teen problems and challenges alongside the monster of the week.
*recalls the episode where Buffy hears the thoughts of a student who is apparently out to kill everyone, and Zander blames it on the mulligan stew. :)* |
oooo Earshot is such a great episode..
the originally couldnt show it because it was supposed to come out RIGHT after the Columbine shootings.. |
I think I heard that. Makes sense. I think that "Hush" is still my favourite episode. I love the Gentleman for bad guys. :) I think it was really well done too.
|
Hush is so creepy. I love The Gentlemen...
Giles' slideshow on the overhead makes me giggle..the whole sequence is hilarious. I love Restless....and Tabula Rasa...and LIFE SERIAL that episode is so good: "Go with the slug, she's not gonna sleep with you anyway!" |
My favorite episodes are Doppelgangland
Vamp Willow's second and sadly last episode. Fluffy Willow pretending to be Vamp Willow is soooooooo funny! Fool for Love - chock full of Spikey goodness. The flashbacks to the Boxer Rebellion and fighting Nikki on the subway <3 And what's going on in the "present" timeline of that episode is interesting. Storyteller and Selfless. It's weird two of my favorites are season seven eps because it's not my favorite season. It has it's moments though and these two eps are amazing. Are there any episodes that stick on in your minds as being less than awesome? A lot of people bring up Beer Bad when that question is posed but I love that one! Cave Buffy. Neanderthal Slayer. Foamy! I think it's a great episode. And then end of that one is hilarious. |
Oh man! I totally forgot about Storyteller, Selfless and Help. Three season seven episodes that I completely adore.
Help makes me cry every single time...no matter what she does, Buffy can't save Cassie.... :-/ and omg..don't even get me started on The Body.. |
Restless the one with the dreams (awesome job on the sequences I though. Made them feel like real dreams) and the repeated appearances of the cheese guy?
I loved the musical. I thought that was awesome :D. He even worked a plot around it so that it made some matter of sense. Anya was one of my favourite characters. "She's wierd and strangely literal." ;) I like Zander's dream sequence bit, "I'm trying to talk to my demon." |
on the easter weekend there was a buffython here on the scifi channel
|
I friggin adore Anya! She's so amazing...
*playing Life* Anya: Oh, crap. Look at this! Now I'm burdened with a husband and several tiny pink children, more cash than I can reasonably manage... Xander: That means you're winning. Anya: Really? Xander: Yes. Cash equals good. Anya: Ooh! I'm so pleased. Can I trade in the children for more cash? |
Ha! Anya's the best ever.
That's one of my favorite Anya moments, Fireyo. And there's a lot to choose from! |
haha yesss Anya is soo good.
I love when Willow mimics her "I like money better than people! People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!" |
