Ok I have recently gotten the first couple of seasons of Buffy on DVD. I don't have cable so I am not able to watch the show when it normally airs.

I find that the lady who plays Giles girlfriend very interesting but I can not find any info about her. I assume from the credits that her name is Robia Le Morte or something, but that sounds like it is not a real name. I have gone to IMDB and they do not list her anywhere.

What am I missing here?

Imdb has something on her under robia la morte, must be the same person.

She used to tour with prince, cool.

Yes, that's definitely her: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0478750/.

Rhaegar,

my immediate reaction was "Cool! I wish I had that episode memorized."

But all that may mean is something sad about me. [Wink]

NO! Sndrake, we can be obsessively compulsively cool together!

*applauds wildly*

That was one of my favorite episodes.

Is Anya still around? Or Tara?

*Is she still around? I am half way through season two.*

Oh my. You're not gonna like episode 15 or so of that season...
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
*Bows*

Dagonee, any requests?
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
I thought he meant Ms. Calendar.
 
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
 
Ms. Calneder. I think she is hot.

msquared
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
No, I gotta write a brief tonight [Frown]
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
Miss Calender dies about season four guys, remember Angelus and the whole oooooo I'm evil part with the Judge?

Rhaegar
 
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
 
Rhaegar,

you might want to give a *spoiler* warning or at least ask msquared how detailed you should get.

Msquared,

Be careful what you ask for. [Wink]
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
True, anyone want any bits of knowledge or song?
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
** SPOILER ** (But he did ask)

It's season 2, Rhaegar:

Season 1 - Master
Season 2 - Angelus
Season 3 - Mayor
Season 4 - Initiative/Adam*
Season 5 - Glory
Season 6 - Back from the Dead
Season 7 - The First (and the Last)

Dagonee
*Coincides with the first season of Angel.
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
My deepest appologies Dagonee, but never the less, well done.
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
Did anyone else think the first half of season six was kindof lame?
 
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
 
(Psst - Hey, Dagonee. Have you looked at your post count lately? Is it Landmark writing as well as brief writing time?)
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
Spring Break starts noon on Saturday - that's Landmark time. Of course, you've made me waste one of my precious pre-landmark posts in answering [Smile]

I'm thinking "Why Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is an evil song...

Rhaeger, Season 6 started slow, but by the end I thought it was one of the best. And the Trio was just hysterical.

OK - I'm really, really disconnecting my network until my brief is finished...
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
I said the first half of seaosn six was lame, the Trio are the best thing to ever happen to Buffy, the Star Wars van! Yay!
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
Oh, well except Druscilla, agh I have such and obsession with her.

Rhaegar
 
Posted by cochick (Member # 6167) on :
 
My obsessions with Angel - David Boreanz - yummy!!!

Must admit though I've been warming to Spike in the last series though - despite the awful English accent.
 
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
 
I liked the first half of season 6 - and I loved the way Once More With Feeling acted as the turning point from 'happy silly episodes' to 'dark nasty internal everyone is doomed' episodes, simply by airing a few secrets.

*is also a Buffy dork who has all the songs memorised.*
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
Yay for Imogen!

*sings* Every single night, the same arrangement...

[Big Grin]

I am watching the new series of Angel right now - the one where Spike is seeing spectres. Is it just me, or is Spike getting chubby?! The razor sharp cheekbones just don't look the same...

*sings* They got the mustard out
 
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
 
Incidentally Rhaeger... After Giles' first line the bunnies song goes

Willow (Alyson Hannigan really can't sing): "I've got a feeling, some kid is dreaming.. and we're all stuck inside his wacky broadway nightmare"

(cue Broadway hand fluttering from Tara)

All: "I've got a feeling we should work this out (sung oow-oh-ut) It's getting eerie, what's this cheery singing all about?"

Zander "It could be witches, some evil witches" (cue camera cut to Willow and Tara looking ticked off) "Which is ridiculous 'cos witches they were persecuted, wicca, good and women power, love the earth and I'll be over here."

Anya "I've got a theory - it could be bunnies"

*cut to Rhaeger's version*

[Big Grin]

I did warn you I was a Buffy geek.
 
Posted by The Wiggin (Member # 5020) on :
 
I liked that episode so much I got the sound track. LOL. haven't memerized it yet but working on it.

*sings*

I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
Why you come to visit me, I think I finally know...

You're scared, Afraid of what you feel
But you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear, it doesn't make it real...

Uh Hahh....

That's great, but I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
So since I'm only dead to you, I'm saying stay away...

And let me rest in peace

(Cue 80's rock beat)

Let me rest in peace, let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's six foot deep.
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet realeaaaaase...

So let me rest in peace...

(so, do I get to be a member of the "buffy geeks who've memorised the whole musical episode" club??)
 
Posted by Mabus (Member # 6320) on :
 
Drat...I like Buffy's theme but can only recall a few lines.

I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
(Later)
So I will walk into the fire
and let it (burn).
(Repeated many times before anyone actually says the last word.)

I have a question for you all too.

Why is such trash so widely enjoyed? You are like hobos by choice of the entertainment world.

From memory:

quote:

I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flames
To save the day
Or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same

So I will walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it...

I could go on, but I'll spare you.

jebus: My monitor is covered with post-it notes to encourage and inspire me when I write. One of these notes says "Tell the truth". I firmly believe that Buffy, the show, tells the truth. The emotions that the characters go through are so, so real. The show, to me, is not about fighting vampires--it's about life. Trash? I don't think so.
 
Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :
 
Personally I've only watched a few episodes and always felt the emotions conveyed where extremely cheesy, and badly acted.
 
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
 
Oh, there's definitely a cheese factor to some episodes. And sometimes, actual cheese as well. [Big Grin] (I wear the cheese; the cheese does not wear me.)
 
Posted by Sachiko (Member # 6139) on :
 
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sorts of people here. [Wink]

Incidentally, three of my kids have names from BtVS. Accidentally...on purpose. Sort of thing. [Blushing]

For those who would care, Buffy's Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) recently posed for a"tasteful" Playboy photoshoot, due out sometime this summer [Blushing] [Evil]
 
Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :
 
To follow the general thought about the show being cheesy, I agree. However, the cheese seems like real cheese. When I watch the show, I point and say "Hey, that's exactly how I would react if *fill in the blank* happened" because, let's face it, real people are cheesy and corny.

My roommate, who has an obsession with the show, just asks people to look at Buffy and then look at Dawson's Creek. Which show has characters that are more believable? I say Buffy.
 
Posted by Rolf Singer (Member # 3972) on :
 
The cheese factor has always been there but it has also been played up to. Theres always a wink at the audience when they're being cheesy to let us know that THEY got how cheesy it was and they meant it that way.

What annoyed me about season seven was they began to take themselves seriously.... [No No] They seemed to have forgotten they had a sense of humour until the very last episode.

There was still some good moments..."My goodness, it looks like someone slaughtered an Ambercrombie and Fitch catalogue".
