Vampires are all the rage these days. Teen girls and goth-kids with low self-esteem want the super-powers of flight, transformation, strength, and sexuality that vampires are imbued with...and then ignore all the murder, bloodiness, and cravings that come with it. They neuter the character, and turn the vampire into nothing more than a high

i will outright say that i find
your vast trove of Buffy knowledge to be both
delighting and arousing lol
and agree with you 95% with the exception
of Nathan fillion's role of the preacher
he did not appear until season 7 working under the first
and was actually the first person killed by the slayer sithe thingy i believe
but once again bravo on your mastery of Buffy trivia

I got the entire show on DVD two years ago, but am only now crawling through the audio commentaries and DVD extras. It's a huge slog, as many of the commentaries are kinda worthless and provide no real facts or trivia

as an actor not so much
but as a man with a lovely build i greatly appreciate
Nathan fillion!
and i love actually loved the buffy vs. dracula story line
i mean he was a bit corny but how they turned that into buffy wanting to know more about her origins as a slayer i liked alot. as for the dark prince thing i actually remember that i saw the first half of it then quickly got bored.
although if i knew gang rape was on the menu i might have stuck around a little longer lol

Yeah, that Turkish gang-rape occurs off-screen, so you missed nothing.

I thought the "Buffy vs. Dracula" thing was boring because they never really set Dracula up to live within the Buffyverse. At the end, he has super-powers (he can be dusted, but he can come back to life) which are unbelievable. And then Buffy just uses harsh language on him, which keeps him dust. Huh???

The whole "Caleb" story line in Season Six seemed dumb to me, in part because Caleb is immensely powerful and immune to harm -- as much as Glory was. Yet, when Buffy comes after him with the Scythe, she offs him easily. Their "climactic battle" really isn't. Joss Whedon was off writing scripts for "Firefly" and his other projects during the final season, so he wrote very few of the episodes. I think it shows here. Even Marti Noxon (who wrote some SUPERB episodes) admits that Caleb and the uber-vamps were made much more powerful for 18 episodes, and then suddenly de-powered so Buffy could kill them in the final three or four eps.
