Bill Nye the Science Guy. My school used to make me watch that and one day I found myself watching it at home. Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Ha, love that guy.

One not-so-good part of the DVD experience: the painfully long and overdone Myst-style animations you have to sit through on the navigation screens for Season 2 ... That annoys the hell out of me. I also wish the DVDs had a Play All feature instead of having to keep going back to the main menu to play every episode.

^^ According to Whedonesque, they removed it from Itunes in an attempt to fix the audio or whatever. Hopefully, we will have the improved version back up soon with much better sounding voices! It is comforting to know that it was a mistake and "Buffy" wasn't actually intended to sound manish. lol. But less comforting that they apparently put the trailer up there for all the world to download without even bothering to listen to it first... I know. WTH?

She also says her sister can predict the future with her dreams, I'm not sure that's possible though. I've actually have had dreams like that probably two or three times that I can remember. Except for me I didn't really predict. For me it was more deja vu. Something would happen and then I would remember I had a dream very similar to it some time ago. I would swear to it. I'm one of those people that usually forget their dream within five minutes of waking up, so I usually try to hurry and wrote them down...if I feel like it.

Just downloaded it. I think the motion comics animation is actually really cool looking. I know a lot of people said how it'd be better with full animation, but I do like the continuity with Season 8. Also, this is not the same motion comic style like for X-Men. There's really interesting effects that amplify the sense of movement and make the characters come alive more. That being said, the voice actress for Buffy is AWFUL. And yes, the theme song sounds slow. And in general this sounds horrible. Yeesh. I wouldn't mind watching the story this way, and some of the sound effects are cool like when Giles pulls out a dagger in NFFY, but the voice acting sounds unnatural on top of not sounding anything like the characters. There's not enough zip or irony to how the lines are delivered--the rhythm is all off. The entire trailer is 1 minute 17 seconds long. It starts with images from Chosen, ending with the shot of the Hellmouth, which then transfers to the Season 8 image of the Hellmouth, making the transition from film to comics art. That effect was actually pretty cool morphing. The pitch with the voice is what's really bad, though. Hopefully they'll fix it. And yeah, it's supposed to be Buffy that's saying "This is war" and not Giles. If ya think it sounds like Giles... that's because Buffy sounds really bad in this. I cringed when she started talking and I'm pretty sure my face looked horrified. I don't think it's that the sound is slow (as many have suggested). It's the pitch that's wrong. When I was watching the trailer, the voiceover matched the action. And all the sound effects matched the action. The timing is spot-on. It's the most awful pitch that's making it sound like crap. And yeah, Buffy sounds like a man trying to talk like a woman. Well this sounds disappointing. Now I'm thinking if I should pay to get this or not. Let me check out this price.... Edit - ....when it's available.

It kind of sucks that it's pretty much just spoofing Twilight. It would be better if they were going to spoof all of the famous vampire movies and t.v. shows.

I just realize that it's kind of not fair that we compare Restless to the other finale even though technically it was. Only cause I was just thinking of the final battle in Primeval. I was too excited when they did their Matrix thing. Plus the huge fight scene with the scoobies, initiative soldiers and demons fighting was pretty epic.
