I've read reviews that observe how, over the course of season four, the Scooby Gang dynamics evolve from a group of friends to a family. From season five onwards, the relationship between the core three is more sibling-like in nature; they may not hang out or be as friendly as they used to be, but nevertheless love each other unconditionally. Fans claim the Scoobies are disconnected, but I actually think their relationships are much more mature and layered now than they were back in high school. This is a really interesting point, Paul730. We have to remember in the episode "Family" Buffy flat out declares that her family is her friends. And when Buffy loses Joyce in S5 this point is driven home. Who takes care of Dawn? Willow, Tara, Xander and Giles all take at least one turn; Buffy's and Dawn's family. As for the S9 big bad, I have to agree with Wyndam that I think the Slayer Army will erupt into a civil war. I think we are seeing the beginnings of this through Simone and even in the AtS "Damage" with Dana. Granted the two have different reasons for going against 'the good guys', but we've now seen that not every slayer is as morally aligned as Buffy and, arguably, Faith (as she proved in S7 of Buffy). This would definitely tie in with this season's tisk-tisk at using magic, which brought about the slayer army, as it would be a most definite revelation that, oops, yeah Buffy and Willow probably shouldn't have called all those slayers. I think it would yield a dynamic and interesting, fresh plot for S9. Good poll.

*comes out from thread-lurking* I find that drinking alcohol is far less pleasant than smoking marijuana. I also find that the physical pro's and con's for alcohol consumption are far "worse" than those of marijuana. Furthermore, I find that people who abuse pot do not cause as much "trouble" as those who abuse alcohol. But then I can only speak from my own experiences. As with any substance, it all depends on your own level of responsibility. If you go up to a dealer you've never dealt with before and ask for something and then go smoke too much alone and then go for a joy ride, yeah that's probably not going to end well. But if you know and trust the source of the substance, and treat it with respect and know your own limits, then it'll probably be quite enjoyable. I will not ever smoke cigarettes due to a life-long learned aphasia to them thanks to my to smoker parents, but I do enjoy the ganja, because it is not an every-day thing that will actually cause a lot of harm to my system, it is a rare casual activity that I do in social settings and it's relaxing and fun. There. Now back to lurking.. **wonders if all of us will get a visit from some cops thanks to the wonderful implementation of the patriot act..hahahaha**

I was in the same position as you are now, having seen all of Buffy and then delving into Angel. I only recently watched through Angel on DVD, and like you had a lot of gripes about things because the tone of the show is so different from Buffy. However, I agree that S2 is FAR better than S1, and my only advice to you is: just keep watching..you'll learn more about different characters and plots, and things will start to make sense. And I'll add a warning: if things don't make sense *coughS4cough* - don't fret, we're all as confused and pissed as you are. One more thing, I found watching Angel after the fact to be quite exciting. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE re-watching Buffy, but it is fun to see some new material and not know what's going to happen. Angel is a very different show from Buffy, and similarly it has it's ups and downs, along with some things that we fans disagree with, but it's still quite a good show. I'm glad I watched it, and I'm glad you're watching it now! Enjoy!! -Jen

Amazing. I'm astounded at how well done these banners are. I love the re-did Grave Buffy set. Phil needs to watch his back. I am utterly flattered! Thank you for the feedback! If anyone has any graphics ideas you can lend me, I'd love some good juicy ideas! Currently I've been watching through the seasons again, and just making random banners from certain episodes haha, but if anyone has a cool idea I'd love to try out something unique. Thanks!

I love the Grave one! That scene is so beautiful. And I love the quote on it Thanks! Grave is my all-time favorite episode of BtVS. I absolutely love that Xander, the only "normal" human in the show, saves the world by professing love for his best friend, LOVE IT!! I love your Buffy and Giles! Such a sweet sweet moment. Looks lovely too. Aw thankies, I too love that Buff and Giles moment! It always gets me when he pops up outta nowhere and Buffy and Anya hug him! So sweet!! Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it

This episode has some of Buffy's "I just wanna be a normal teen!" greatest moments. One of which is of course, the classic "If the apocalypse comes, beep me!", and "This is the 90's. The 1990's, in point of fact, and I can do both. Clark Kent has a job. I just wanna go on a date. ", and OWEN:"Are you, uh, having fun?" BUFFY:"Yeah, I almost feel like a girl." I like this episode because it also helps establish Giles and Buffy's relationship more, especially since Giles admits that he at first did not want to become a Watcher. We now see how much Giles truly cares for Buffy. It's really fun to watch, the action is great, the jokes are superb, and the drama is high, creating an evil vamp that's a little (yes annoying) kid. 4/5

Good point, this is the first time Xander and Willow meet Angel. As for Miss French she's one of Kenneth Brannagh's Mistresses in Wild Wild West, one of the sirens in 'O Brother where art thou' but best of all Athena's girlfriend on Xena ..you have too much knowledge.. haha

Could I get a really nice banner and avatar made thats Buffy from Restless standing in the desert and possibly the quote that Tara says to Buffy. Please and thank you! Which quote of Tara's? There are two times Tara speaks to Buffy in her dream.. Option A: BUFFY: Faith and I just made that bed. (Shot of the bed, still rumpled but now without Buffy in it.) TARA: For who? BUFFY: I thought you were here to tell me. The guys aren't here, are they? We were gonna hang out and, watch movies t- TARA: You lost them. BUFFY: No. No. I think they need me to find them. (Shot of the digital alarm clock next to the bed, showing 7:30 AM.) BUFFY: (upset) It's so late. TARA: Oh ... that clock's completely wrong. Here. (Shot of Tara's hands holding out the Tarot card Manus (the hands). It has a picture of two hands crossed, one open, the other balled into a fist.) BUFFY: I'm never gonna use those. TARA: You think you know ... what's to come ... what you are. You haven't even begun.(Shot of the bed, now neatly made.) BUFFY: I think I need to go find the others. (She leaves.) TARA (softly) Be back before dawn. Option B: (Buffy walks into the middle of the desert) BUFFY: I'm never gonna find them here. (She looks up and sees Tara far off, walking toward her.) TARA: Of course not. That's the reason you came. (Tara fades out and reappears closer, then this repeats. She stops walking. Her lips never move when she talks) BUFFY VOICEOVER: You're not in my dream. TARA: I was borrowed. Someone has to speak for her. BUFFY: Let her speak for herself. (We see the dark-haired creature walking up behind her.) BUFFY: That's what's done in polite circles. (The creature moves around to in front of Buffy and we finally get a good look at her. It's a dark-skinned woman with dreadlocks and long sharp fingernails. Her face is painted with white or grayish paint, lines of black paint across her eyes, and she wears rags. She crouches low and walks around Buffy like a wild animal. She looks like a cavewoman.) BUFFY: Why do you follow me? FIRST SLAYER via TARA: I don't. BUFFY: Where are my friends? FIRST SLAYER via TARA: You're asking the wrong questions. BUFFY: (firmly) Make her speak. FIRST SLAYER via TARA: I have no speech. No name. I live in the action of death, the blood cry, the penetrating wound. I am destruction. Absolute ... alone. BUFFY: I am not alone. SLAYER via TARA: The Slayer does not walk in this world. BUFFY: I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones. (firmly) Now give me back my friends. (The First Slayer speaks in a very low, hoarse voice.) FIRST SLAYER: No ... friends! Just the kill. We ... are ... alone! (( I've bolded the quote I'm assuming you'd like on there, since it's the most well known quote of this episode.. )) EDIT:: screw that..I made you two options, and if you want anything changed I can change it no problemo. I can even use a different quote if you want:
