Yeah. Mewes had to audition to play himself. Seth was torn, wanting a big role but not wanting to step on any toes. He liked Clerks.

So what do you all think is going to happen after Gunn impaled Angel with a sword and used that thing to make all his old wounds reappear? I seriously doubt Angel is going to survive that.

Two options. A) Gunn bites Angel to vampire him again, saying something like, 'If I have to be a vampire, you do too'. The status quo is restored, at least as far as Angel goes. Maybe he'll have a soul permanently this time too, meaning that he can have sex with Buffy without losing his soul. Who knows. B) Angel dies. The Senior Partners decide that Angel can't die, so they bring him back (or refuse to let him die). Alternately, Angel dies and goes to Hell, but since they're in Hell, it's no big whoop. Honestly, Angel really needs to start picking up as a series. I mean, it's O.K., but I really need something stellar to justify continuing reading it.

Nope, just stay in L.A., because L.A. = Hell right now anyway. So he'll die, open his eyes and be right where he died. Super duper bonus points to me if Holland Manners shows up to say something snarky.

What would be interesting would be if Angel dies and the Senior Partners send him out of Hell and back to the real world as a result. It would be like double the torture because they have not only deprived him of any chance he might have to save L.A. from Hell, but it would deprive him of his son and his friends as well. Although I have no idea what direction they would go after that. Maybe have Angel team up with whoever that was that the fish sent the mental message to to uncover what is going on with the L.A. cover up as means of possibly getting back to the city? And by the way, who is that girl that the fish sent the message to? Have we seen her before? I asked if she might be the psycho slayer from season 5 in the rehab place, but I didn't get any speculation back on that. As far as it picking up, I think the series is pretty good so far (save the artwork in some places, but I can forgive that since, hey, I'm getting more Angel), but there are several things that they need to get to addressing. Specifically, what Wolfram and Hart's grand plan is and what the deal is behind the cover up of L.A. going to Hell.

I loved watching Angel, it still is one of my favorite shows that I could watch over and over. When it ended I was pretty upset at first, I wanted resolution or something more. Personally, after reading the spoilers of what happens in the comics, that sounds gay as hell and I am more than fine with how the show ended. Because if they pulled that crap on TV I probably would have stopped watching. I felt they reached into each and every character and showed us who they really were, to do the stuff they are doing in those comics as you say, just sounds like they are just pulling bullshit out of a hat just to have something to write about.

Okay that was awesome. Finally, we get some more details on Wolfram and Hart's plan for Angel, plans that were apparently created way back when they first signed up for the job in Season Five. And it was nice to see Cordy again, although I agree with whoever said it before, the deaths of several characters have kinda been negated by After the Fall. Personally I'm waiting for Doyle to show up. As for the artwork, I agree that it was atrocious where we first see Cordelia, but I thought that at others times the artwork was great. They kind of do a hit and miss on the artwork, like every page is a 50/50 chance. Oh, and the artists doing the issues have changed a couple times, so asking for an example is kind of a loaded question. The look of the comic in Issue #1 is different from the look of Issue #12.

In Buffy Season 8 news: nothing much happens this issue  . Looking forward to the conclusion though, although it seems like they have a lot to get through in one issue. Here are a couple of ways they could take the story that might be interesting but that they probably won't do:- Fray and/or Harth come back to the present - Present Willow dies and is replaced in the present by Future Willow And here's what I'm hoping they won't do, but they might: - Buffy returns to the past without ever meeting or finding out about Future Willow. Hopefully the cover for the next issue indicates that this won't happen, and it drat well better not because it would be really unsatisfying. - Fray dies. I'd rather she stay alive in the hopes of seeing more of her own series some day, because it was really good. On a side note, what did Gunther say the "madwoman"'s name was just after we cut away in the last issue? Obviously it wasn't "Willow" since Buffy is still clueless about it. Maybe just "I don't know"? Also, because I and other people apparently found this confusing/missed it: The last panel featuring Gunther isn't just showing the vampires leaving from a weird perspective, it's some (other) vampires swimming up to ambush him from below.

This panel from After the Fall #12, presumably. Even when it's a bit confusing, ugly and mediocre, I'm enjoying After The Fall more than Buffy S8 at this point because the latter feels too much like weird erotic fanfiction pulled off some livejournal community. finna udders fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Sep 7, 2008 |

Slightly off topic, but a full trailer is up for Repo: The Genetic Opera, a horror-sci-fi-musical starring Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy). It pretty much looks like "Hot Topic Musical," but any Buffy fans know Tony Head can really sing, and the trailer features him pretty prominently. I've actually been intrigued by this movie for a while, and it looks like it's finally coming out in November. http://www.repo-opera.com (There is an option to stream the trailer once the site loads.)

Well Paris getting the role was more of a "let's see if she'll take the role of a coked vapid whore who does nothing but spend her father's money and not see the irony." Giles isn't even the end of it though, it also has Ogre from Skinny Puppy, and for some unknown reason Sarah Paulson. As in Andrew Lloyd Weber's ex-wife, every female lead Weber ever wrote had me in mind, Sarah Paulson. I want to like it since some of the songs do sound really good, but the writer/director is a giant self-inserting douche nozzle and the acting/singing from the guy who plays Paris and Ogre's brother is the first performance in a movie I've actively cringed at.

So I just saw that Joss is apparently none too happy with some of the things people were coming up with for Dollhouse:TV.com posted:Joss Whedon knows quality work when he sees it, and he should. As the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, Whedon is revered as a god in some of the geekier circles. I think it's great that he's determined to not let the show suffer any mediocrity. Apart from Lost, Battlestar Galactica, and Journeyman (which was sadly cancelled ), we seem to be getting a plethora of mediocre sci-fi lately.

I like Buffy and Angel (haven't seen Firefly yet), but the whole concept of Dollhouse sounds kind of creepy/weird/unappealing to me. Plus, I don't like Eliza Dushku quite as much as some people. I'll still give it a chance though.

So has it been clearly established yet whether Buffy or Faith is the "true" Slayer, or did the mass Slayerization spell throw all that out the window? Also, I like to think The First Evil's plan all along was to get Willow to perform the mass Slayerization spell, which It allowed, by finding the Scythe. Pretty obvious aid to the good guys there, right? For further evidence, see: Caleb's sudden pussification; Ubervamps morph into retarded goblins, get slaughtered. With all the remaining Potentials Slayerized, it's possible the Slayer line dies out with the last Slayer's death... one can assume such a spell might mess up the other spell, and end it. The First has nothing but time, so why not wait a generation for the final victory? Whatever that is -- if one assumes this thing is really what it says it is, which is debatable. Regardless, it could easily be argued The First goaded the Scooby gang into acting rashly and activating all the Potentials. So, ha-ha Buffy!
