S P O I L E R S P A C E S P O I L E R S P A C E I think Buffy and Angel will never be able to be together. Unless if they are under a sort of spell or witchcraft. I wish they could be together the way they were, but it seems that Buffy will be concerned about how dangerous is her love to Angel. I mean, Buffy, herself, is not the only responsible for his "change". You have to remember that the spell was not made for her to be happy but for him. He loved her too. What I mean is that if they curse him again with the same kind of "soul spell" they would never be able to even look at each other, so they have to find another kind of spell, one that would not cause him to lose his soul and his "humanity" again. Not to mention that Buffy is aware of everything that happened to her and I am sure she would not do anything that makes her and her friends suffer the way they did. I know she had the chance to kill Angel(us) but she didn't kill him because she still believes in a way out to save him and their love. Anyway, that's just my humble opinion... Please feel free to make any coments.

I actually did a Buffy Marathon and something went on my mind. Concerning the cast and their roles, I think sometimes, it seems they are not portraying ANY character at all. I mean, sometimes it seems they are portraying nothing but THEMSELVES. Some glances they give at each other, some giggles they make during a scene and how they speak some sentences and dialogues. A good example is Buffy=B4s nightmare in WSWB when the master disguised as Giles= attacks her at school. Or in Phases when Xander makes the joke about the moon pie and Giles is the only one laughing, Buffy and Willow look at each other, not to mention in Inca Mummy Girl, when Xander is talking to Ampata in Buffy's kitchen. The best way to notice what I am trying to say is to pay attention in Buffy and Willow glances they make to each other especially when they are listening to Xander and Giles speeches. I guess this is what makes the show SO especial to me, we can FEEL what the actors are trying to convey and, in a sense, share with them their own feelings when they are playing their roles! Thanks Joss! = Thanks Sarah, Ally, Nick, Tony and Charisma. take care, Aida and Fernanda from Brazil - -- = "If I fail, at least I will have failed my way instead of failing someone else's way" = Jodie Foster (actress and movie director) - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1998 17:52:15 PDT From: "Sara Barton" Subject: BUFFY: Suprise/Innocense Okay--I am now more than ready to commit to these eps. When I first saw this 2 parter, I didn't like it much because it was too sad. I was so caught up in Angel being evil again, that I really didn't see how magnificent this ep was. SMG, Alison Hannigon, and David B's preformances were superb. These were, in my opinion, the most powerful prefomances of the season (so far). When Willow found out about Xand and Cordy, Ally did an excellent job in her reaction. She really brought out Willow's emotion. I was amazed at how much of this episode I missed the first time I watched it. Sarah's acting was equally wonderful. My heart broke when she cried herself to sleep. I was more touched watching Innocense the 2nd time than I was the first because I was more focused on it. It is amazing at how much more you see when you watch an ep twice. David's preformance was awesome. His character being evil brings so much more into the show and really allows him to display his bundles of talent. Don't get me wrong, I want the good Angel back more than anybody, but it was nice to see the other side of him. After watching Buffy last night, I was so upset and sad that everytime something reminded me of the show, I wanted to cry! (I know, obsessed much?) Everything about his episode was superb--the acting, script, turn of events, etc. I can't get over it! Oh, and did anyone else notice how CUTE Xander looked in that Hawaiian shirt??? I was like, "Hello Sexy!" Sorry this was so long, I just had to say all this or I would burst! And is everyone else as psyched as I am for "I Only Have Eyes For You"? It looks like it will be a really good ep!!! And when the preview showed Buffy and Angel dancing, I was sooo happy! Anyway, I'm shutting up now.

Well, this is exactly what got me hooked last season. When I saw the billboards and signs on buses, I said cool, a show from the movie (I liked the movie alot). When I saw the first pilot I was struck by the way a fresh ensemble seem to be just right from the start. Mainly Joss's writing and vision made it that way then. Now, as we all know, the cast are the best of friends and they are our friends. They really aren't acting in a way, now, they are the people we love. Really the only one of the cast that is playing a role that is not herself is Charisma, and she is very good at it. As I have gotten to know the people behind the roles in my research for Buffy's Slayerverse (that's my Buffy web site) it has become very clear that for the most part the actors are the characters. Great casting, great people, and great vision makes a great show and I think this the best one yet. And they talk to us on the net ,Cool! About last night. The first time I saw Innocence the tears were flowing and again last night. Even when I knew what was coming, our wonderful cast is so good that you live it not watch it Well., enough or now, Cant wait for next week and everyone please don't put up spoilers.

When the WB first started up, WGN agree to carry it the first couple of years to help it reach markets where they could not get affilliates. (Tribune which owns WGN also owns 25% of The WB) However, WGN did not want to be a permanent WB affialiate because it would be difficult to carry more than a few nights a week of WB programing and all of their sports programming. Additionally if WGN was to carry the WB permanently it might discourage the local stations that are needed for long term survival from signing up. In markets where the only source for the WB has been WGN, Warner Bros. has been setting up a service called WeB, which is sort of a local cable-only station. == Lord Bowler (LordBowler@yahoo.com) "I take it that title is purely ficticious."

First off, SMG is an already thin girl, she has a small frame, and 98 lbs. on a 5'3" woman is pretty normal. I myself am 100 lbs., and I'm a full 3 inches taller than SMG. My doctor has assured me that I am normal for my size and frame, so I am assuming that Sarah is well within normality ass well. This also makes me mad because its more fodder for these mothers who go around blaming every thin famous woman for their daughters eating problems. Also, this casts a bad light on SMG, and that sad, because she seems like such a nice woman. Those of us who read up on her, and follow her interviews see her as a strong, level-headed, practical girl. With these traits, does it seem right or even slightly truthful that she would do this to herself? For her martial Arts training, and to stay in shape for Buffy, she'd have to stay very healthy, and she knows it. An anorexic girl simply wouldn't have the energy to work as hard as all the reports say Sarah has to work. You know, I used to be guilty of reading those trashy tabloids, even if I knew the stories were false, but now that it has bashed someone I admire in such a obviously false way, with no base on reality whatsoever, I'm done with it. grrrrr....

Not that it would matter to me -- I'm pretty jaded. I put as much faith in the statements of a "star's spokesman" as I do in the statements of Washington spin doctors or lawyers commenting outside of court on their cases. Their job is to put the best possible spin on any story that's out there and make sure their client comes out in the best possible light. Their job is not necessarily to tell the truth. Not that I put much faith in the Enquirer either. I mean, look closely at the form of that article. As far as I could see, the only thing that the article puts across as fact is that SMG weighs 98 pounds. The rest is merely assembled quotes from self-described "insiders", "pals", "alarmed sources" and "friends" of SMG. How hard can it be in Hollywood to find someone who, for a few bucks, would be willing to describe himself or herself as a friend of a star and then proceed to say whatever was necessary. And that's assuming the quotes are actually from real people. Given that I have no clue as to who is telling the truth then, I can just hope that SMG is fine in either case. If she is sick, I hope her real "pals" and "friends" talk her into getting help and if she's not, I hope she's thick-skinned enough to brush this stuff off.
