One of the reasons why I haven’t been much active online lately, is that I spend most of my evenings watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with one or more of my flatmates. We started about a year ago, when one of them asked me to show him a really fun Buffy episode. I chose “Hush”, [...]
Posts filed in Buffy
This tag belongs to posts where the TV-show Buffy The Vampire Slayer is mentioned. As I believe is said before somewhere, I’m a recent convert to Whedonism.
Rip it apart and start again
One of the many reasons to look forward to Ripper.
As for Brian K. Vaughn’s (first, but hopefully not last) run of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Season 8″ comics, the best compliment I can give is that I hardly noticed — if indeed I did notice at all, which is doubtful — that this wasn’t written [...]
Concerning postage…
I never got the first issue of Buffy s8 from my Outland subscription, so I had to register at Things From Another World’s web store, and get it from there.
The comic itself cost me $2.39. I paid $0.25 to have it bagged and boarded. And finally there was the tiny shipping cost of $8.21.
Almost made [...]
Valentine
Heh, one of my flatmates and I just spent the last couple of hours taking cheap shots at Valentine, a rather silly slasher movie from 2001.
A bunch of snotty girls have picked on a nerd all through elementary school, until they in 9th grade get the kid sent away to a mental institution by claiming [...]
Doctor Who 2006 2×03 School Reunion
Tony Head as a reptile-bat alien disguised as a headmaster.
Awesome.
Issue 5 — The Chain
My immediate reaction to this issue, is that it is the best one this far.
Because while it lacks those “OMIGAWD!1 IT’S HER/HIM/IT/THEM!!!1″ moments, it was a beautiful and sad story, with elegant pathos and an endearing main character whose name we never even learn.
Quite a treat; if all the “short ones” they intend to stick [...]
Firefly
I’m currently watching “FireflY” again, for the first time since December 2005, and thought I’d scratch down a couple of thoughts I’ve had this far.
First of all, “Firefly” was the first Whedon show I watched. Or to be more precise, it was the first Whedon show I like to think I came to know. [...]
Ethaaaaaaaan!
Noooooooooooo!
The rest was not much more than okay, though. I’ve never really been much of a fan of action in comics, and this issue, being what it was, suffered from this, in my eyes. And the exposition of Twilight… maybe if I read it a time or two more, but as of now? [...]
Seeing Red: A Case in the Study of Joss Whedon, Sadistic Genious
This has got to be one of the best worst minutes of television I have ever seen. Observe, if you will, these four moments:
1. Bliss, as Buffy and Xander make up and embrace.
2. Dread, as Warren appears, toting a gun.
3. Grief, and/or anguish, as a stray bullet from Warren’s gun penetrates Tara’s chest, and her [...]
Ironic distance to “Buffy”? I think not…
Usually, when I’m watching a movie, a television show, or anything like that, I’m keep something of an ironic distance. I tend to laugh at things, to make fun, and to generally not take things seriously. Or, at least this applies when I’m watching something with others.
However, for a couple of nights now, I’ve been [...]
The Octagon
When Kalle, Håvard and myself was at the hospital yesterday, the two former ones found a cheap DVD box in the hospital’s kiosk, a box containing three of Chuck Norris’ most famous movies. And as both Kalle and Håvard think Chuck Norris jokes are hilarious, they couldn’t do anything but buy this abomination. And tonight, [...]
Good Times…
Ah, ’tis been a crappy day, in some ways.
Omniously enough, it started out alright, with me and my flatmate Håvard watching “Hush” while eating dinner. And that episode is still one of the show’s (or at least the season’s) best ones; it’s funny, it’s scary, it has major turning points in the lives of both [...]
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home, part III
Whoa.
And when I was done, Queen’s “You Take My Breath Away” was next in line in my WMP playlist. How’s that for a coincidence?
Half-way evil Willow.
A Angel-Buffy(in-nurse-costume)-Spike dream landscape with barbed wire.
Fi fa fucking fum.
“Ladies and other ladies… the indescribable Rosenberg.” - Xander.
“Well, this is really unimpressive. One attack by the undead and Renee has [...]
Blog Challenge #… I honestly don’t know. Let’s call it “#1 after restart” (or just AR for short).
As can be seen from my blogroll, I intended to keep track of and participate in the Blog Challenge, but that never happened. So when Zhayena posted a new challenge at the NC blog, it didn’t take me long to decide to join.
The challenge is supposed be writing about a scene in a book or [...]
“… I’d like to test that theory.”
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Long Way Home part 2″ continues pretty much where part 1 left off, albeit someplace else. Just as awesome, though. There’s issues, there’s a dream (which begins so lively that I suspect I wasn’t the only one to take it for reality at first), there’s magic, assassins in the night, [...]
“The thing about changing the world…”
“… once you do it, the world’s all different.
Everyone calls me ‘ma’am’ now.”
Oh man. The first issue of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8″ has just left me in a state of chronic grinning, and fucking sea gulls are fluttering about in my stomach.
Sure, it was a little short (but that’s the way it is, [...]
The Second Fake Buffy — AS5×20 The Girl In Question
I never quite know what to make of the main Angel and Spike plot of this episode. While being indubitably entertaining and nicely fan indulging, I feel like it would have fitted better earlier in the season, perhaps not too long after “Destiny”. Why? Because the previous episode ended on such a dark note, with [...]
I Need To Have My Head Checked — AS5×11 Damage
Oh man, oh man, oh man! this was some awesome stuff!
Yet another episode I remembered as mediocre at best, but proved to be indescribably beautiful in all its uncomfortable glory. First of the great parts was the Spike theme. How he initially in the episode said to Angel that he didn’t see the [...]
A Girl’s World — AS5×9 Harm’s Way
I remember back in the days, when I didn’t like Harmony. I thought she was a whiny, empty-headed goose with about as much grip on reality as an average Norwegian teenager. However, I have seen the error of my ways. Because Harmony? She totally rocks.
Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that my earlier conceptions of [...]
Happy Birthday!
