I'm not usually into making lists, but here it is nontheless:

I'll pick a favourite for each gender, otherwise it will be a very male-oriented list...

My ten Buffy things that make me love the show for ever!

1) A writing based on metaphors. BTVS looked like a teen show with a stupid name, but it was one of the deepest and cleverest series ever made. A show that is about teenagers isn't necessarily a teen show. BTVS was demanding and layered (more than Angel the series that was more mainstream). It ( Read more... )

I am not 100% sure it's true, but apparently Robin Sachs died 4 days ago and was found today. It's all over twitter right now, and already on his Wikipedia page.

Ethan Rayne was easily my favourite non regular Buffy characters. Robin was such an amazing and charismatic actor, and like the greatest ones he had a VOICE.

I remember seeing Robin Sachs ( Read more... )

I was flipping the channels yesterday and suddenly came across reruns of BTVS (it was the end of season 3, "Graduation Day" Part I and II, in French), so I decided to fetch my DVDs and I'm having a season 4 marathon!

I have always considered season 4 to be the best season of Buffy, and so far I'm having a great time. The episode with Buffy's ( Read more... )

Several posts from my flist make me think of death lately, more precisely fictional deaths and how death is pictured on screen or which "kinds of death" work the most.

More depth and style than the other Whedon series.

Long time no Buffy post, but I came across this link and remembered...

I voted for "Hush". There were some other great episodes on the list (and also an episode I strongly dislike, "Amends") but "Hush" is a true masterpiece.

ETA: I don't dislike "Innocence", it's " ( Read more... )

I've been reading reactions to the last episode of Breaking Bad, and it's obvious that the audience is pretty much divided in two teams: the viewers who root for the good guy aka Hank, and those who love cool villains and root for the bad guys.

I have never been that intrigued by "cool villains" because I see them as tv tropes most of the time (my ( Read more... )

ARTE showed the excellent The Night Of the Hunter tonight. To tell the truth I mostly remembered Robert Mitchum's famous hands (Love vs Hate), the doll and the chase.

I had forgotten about the opening scene, but when I saw it I immediately thought of Buffy!
