Of course we are probably dead wrong, but it is food for thought. Also....referring back a few posts about the Principal being the betrayer....if it is to be someone she trusts...then it maynot be the Principal. He is not a very trust worthy person.

They got into a disscussion about him being a vampire, and what he eats. (pigs blood...maybe rats..ew!) They talked about how he was discovered when he was walking his dog Bertha Blue. And even before he was signed with his agent he got the gig at Buffy. The talk about how great the show is and how popular it has become coming out of no where. How great the cast is. Ron and him talk about how great the "family" relationship is in the entertainment industry...jokingly. They find his parents in the audience...talk about how his dad is a "weathercaster". They mention how Kathie Lee and him did a fundraiser. How they are proud of him and how well he has done. David talks about how greatful he is for his family and their support. He goes on to talk about and promote the 2-parter. (no pigs will be envolved) They show a clip from "Ted" where Buffy is sitting on the chair bandaging Angel's hand up to the kissing part. His mom gets all emotional. Then he says when it's on and thats all. I wish they spent more time talking to him and not his parents. (no offense to his parents intended... :) Thats all!!

I was told this when the show first started by a friend who watches that station. He was so cute on Regis! I just got home from work and watched it, and I thought it was adorable that his mother got all teary-eyed when he was talking about how much he loves his family, etc. He seems like a pretty good guy (which is certainly not the impression we often get about TV stars). Very happy to have his parents in the studio audience watching him and very happy in general to be on BtVS. He brought the clip from "Ted" of Buffy bandaging Angel's hand while talking about how much she hates it that her mom is dating again. I also have to say that, although I'm not Kathie Lee's biggest fan, I was very impressed that she was so nice to him and seemed to know a lot of background on his character (or maybe I've been watching too much Letterman--he prides himself on not knowing anything about his guests!). She was also very gracious to his parents ...

I'll leave a spoiler space: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer makes a major decision on her 17th birthday in the first episode of a gripping two-parter. The gang plans a party for Buffy's 17th birthday, as Dru wraps up her own plan to erase the human race. Meanwhile, a recurring nightmare haunts the Slayer, who gets her wish of celebrating - alone - with Angel. 2) The not-to-be-missed close of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's two-part birthday blowout finds Angel back in the bloodletting business; Jenny facing the fury of a Slayer scorned; and Willow raging against Xander. After their tryst, Buffy finds Angel a changed man. Meanwhile, Willow and Giles strike a tentative truce with their insignificant others in order to junk the Judge, as Buffy uses brute force to fight a foe close to her heart. This all sounds like Angel reverts to his nasty Angelus personality after trysting with Buffy: some mystical interaction of Slayer, vampire, and gypsy curse, perhaps? With Jenny Calendar involved in some way, if that's what has Buffy peeved at Jenny. Or does Buffy feel scorned because of Jenny's relationship with Giles; Giles isn't there to help Buffy when he's supposed to, because he's off trysting with Jenny? Getting back to Buffy and Angel, we may have the "Reptile Boy" type of lesson here; Buffy does something less role-model-worthy, and nasty consequences result. Or the Guenevere analogy would fit, with Buffy as Guenevere, Angel as Lancelot, and call it Giles as Arthur. Buffy has a tryst with Angel, in violation of her role as Slayer (I'd think that "no trysting with the vampires" is high on the list of rules for Slayers), just as Guenevere has a tryst with Lancelot, in violation of her marriage to Arthur. As a result, Angel is no longer fighting on the side of good, just as Guenevere's tryst led to Arthur losing Lancelot's services. Buffy fighting a foe close to her heart; the logical interpretation is that she fights Angel, who is out bloodletting, but it could refer to someone else who is close to Buffy's heart. A family member, such as Joyce, or one of Buffy's friends? And Willow raging against Xander sounds like Willow finds out about Xander's thing with Cordelia. So we have could have a theme where everyone's romantic trysts create problems all at once.

Okay, here's my idea again (I don't think many people like it since I never get any feedback, but I'll say it one more time.) Angel and Buffy consumate there relationship somewhere in the two-parter. Somehow Drusilla or somebody else takes Angel's soul away from him, leaving him to be the unhindered evil man-feeding demon he once was. He turns on Buffy (thus the betrayal) and she is forced to fight him. Jenny, if she is a gypsy, eventually restores the curse thus returning Angel to his normal self (EVENTUALLY!) As to the clips of Angel being turned to dust, somehow I really doubt that Joss would kill him off if he's bringing ratings to the show, so my guess is that is probably one of Buffy's nightmares... Am I totally alone???? If I am, I promise this is the last time I'll bring it up. :) Jessica :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 19:10:59 -0600 From: Brenda Lyman Subject: BUFFY: WILLOW, WILLOW, WILLOW...did i mention WILLOW okay, now that i've got your attention...i just wanted to remind you as we get ready to watch a NEW (finally) ep of BtVS...WILLOW NEEDS KEEPERS TOO!!!! so, keep your eyes peeled...i want to see a full mailbox tomorrow :) oh, and by the way, in case you're looking for other keeper sites (even though i know you'll be looking for willow things first)...check out lisa's index to keeper sites for xander, angel, buffy, cordy, etc. http://www.wco.com/~cybrpaws/keepindx.html Brenda creatv@concentric.net the willow keepers site...new look coming soon!!! http://www.concentric.net/~creatv/willow.html - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 20:16:37 EST From: NICOLEDEN Subject: BUFFY: SPOLER FROM A WEB PAGE S P O L E R S P A C E ************************************* THIS IS EPISODE 2 OF THE 2 PARTER NEXT WEEK Buffy the Vampire Slayer Innocence: Buffy realizes she must destroy the evil Angel.

Ok as of recent decree I suposedly don't need spoiler space so I won't put it here but you've been warned. Ok yeaaggghh. Those things reminded me of Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan when those bugs crawled in Sulu's (?) ear. Nasty. Liked the whole idea of a collective reminiscent of another Star Trek plotline. And of course the Cordy/Xander freakoid "relationship" continues to evolve in the way that everyone who's ever had a really emotionally damaging relationship can attest to the reality of (is that correct English) Anyway, my main thought on this ep was the whole Joyce grounding decree. Is it possible that this is a setup for next week's um...thing that we've been talking about that will maybe happen to her next week?

Hey gang, It's been a long time since we've seen a new episode, but...WOW...what the heck was that thing?? Ya know, I had an egg baby in high school and nothing like that ever happened. Huuummmm...was mine defective or something? In General, I thought it was pretty good but I really can't wait until next week. Uugghh, the suspense! I thought Cordelia and Xander were cute and Angel and Buffy are heating up. Did Angel do anything but kiss tonight? (Don't get me wrong, I am in no way complaining!) OK, call me slow about this whole vampire/sex thing, but when he said "I can't..." does this mean 1) He can't have children 2) He can't have sex 3) or both??? I know this has been an ongoing topic of discussion, but did we ever come up with a logical answer. Of course the words Buffy and logical do not seem to go together. Did you catch David on Regis and KL this morning? He looked great! Any guy that makes his Mom cry like that because she's so proud is definitely for me. And to think David and I grew up an hour and a half from one another. Too small a world. I've started watching the news out of Philly just for a glimpse of his Dad! Can't wait to see what everyone else thought. Keep counting down until the 19th! Have a great week!

What an episode! I did like Bad Eggs ever so much. This is how I like to see teen romance handled, as dopey groping coupled with an absence of tongue. You know, there was definitely a "Fast Times at Sunnydale High" flavor to this episode, and I felt it strongest in the mall scenes. Perhaps Amy Heckerling could be persuaded to write a few episodes of Buffy? (Amy Heckerling, for those who don't know, is the conversant mind behind Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless. The pairing makes sense if you think that Cher Horowitz in Clueless is a spiritual sister to pre-WB Buffy.) BTW, that mall locale reminded me of several other "teen" movies that poached upon the terrors of the mall world, namely the '80's schlock classic "Chopping Mall" starring Tony "My career died with Head of the Class" Dell, with cameos by Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov, and the climactic shootout in the "Boys Next Door" with Maxwell "Cool Rider" Caulfield. And of course the whole Bad Eggs conceit recalls everything from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Wrath of Khan to Alien, etc. Buffy and the face hugger, after all. This episode was probably was one of the subtlest anti-sex messages in the series' history (next week's ep may top it), but not for the traditional horror logic of "if you have sex, you'll wind up on the end of a pike," but, in the language of behavior psychology, because of the paired association of sexual exploration with slimy egg thingies taking over your body. Now the next time one cuddles with one's honey, images of eggs erupting in one's face could be part of the psychological landscape. This is totally from the "cootie" school of boy/girl interactions. All this and Jeremy Ratchford, too! Anyone else remember him as Banshee from that nightmarishly horrid adaptation of Generation X on Fox a few years ago? The only good thing in that whole debacle. He was delightful this time out too, and I sensed something not unlike chemistry between his character and Buffy. It's inevitable: ever since Angelus got himself a Slayer, everyone's just got to have one. He's alive at the end so I hope he comes back later. That's it for now; maybe more later. JJ - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 23:37:56 -0500 From: Cory Zadek Subject: BUFFY: Bad Egg I loved Bad Egg! It more than made up for all those weeks of deprivation. I especially like that there were lots and lots of villains. No sooner than one revealed itself, another rose up like a hydra. Plus, with Willow a villain, and Joyce a villain, it looks like everybody has been a villian. Who else will become villainous (besides my spelling)? Maybe Joss will show up as an evil extra in some crowded scene at the Bronze. Smoochy, smoochy. Smoochy smoochy smoochy smooch smooch. Hmm. Could get a little tedious . . . but not with next week's two-parter. After that, I predict that sales of lip balm in Sunnydale will skyrocket, only to plummet when the audience finally gets more than it bargained for--as usual. Who will be the one to catch Cordy and Xander mugging each other in the closet? 3-2 odds on Buffy, with Willow as the last to know. But mabe one of Cordy's friends ... oops, I forgot, she doesn't have any friends since she started hanging out with the social leopards. I'm digesting, so I'll catch you all in the morning.

Okay, sure the whole premise was a cross between Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Wrath of Khan, Dark Skies, and the Star Trek episode "Devil in the Dark". And sure when the thing came out of the egg and slept on Buffy I had a sudden urge to sing "Suddenly Seymour." And sure I laughed 'cause the special effects people put way too many sucking sounds in a kiss. And sure I wanted to scream about Buffy saying that all she thinks about in the future is Angel, because a) as the Slayer it's clearly untrue and b) it is manifestly anti- feminist. And sure one should never have the final fight scene take place off camera. But none of that matters, 'cause this ep was fun, fun, fun!!! I laughed, a shrieked in horrified delight, I squirmed when Giles put the thing on Mom's back, I cringed and laughed when Xander almost at the egg. And I cringed even more every time I saw Xander and Cordelia kiss. In short, I just had a _great_ time. And for the Buffy/Giles analysis: Well, they barely spoke here, so the best I can do is muse about the Mommy/Giles dynamic. Now, I am one who is _totally_ put off by the idea of Mommy and Giles as a couple, but I do have to admit Giles was sooooo cute in sympathizing with her. Boy, was I relieved when it turned out to have been Evil!Giles all along! Did anyone else get a hot flash when ASH collapsed? (If not, what is _wrong_ with me?)
