One last Voyager note: When I got the Borg collection, I was thrilled to see Voyager after so long, and what great eps they included! But then I researched a little, and started to remember that most eps were not of that calibur. I feel like I may be wasting my time (and money) purchasing so many episodes, with only a small portion being good enough to be re-watched. In effect, I'd be buying close to 100 episodes, and only about thirty would ever be watched more than once...
But even Beer Bad is good enough for a second go.
At least, that's how I see it Chrisisall
Edit: Logic dictates that the need of the many Buffy eps outweighs the need of the few Voyager's.
Plus; I already own 1/3 of those thirty episodes on the Collections

Joss likes it when we squirm, eh?
Grrrr Chrisisall
LOL
you should have heard the bitterness in fandom about whether Buffy should 'be with' Angel or Spike...
A lot of Angel fans stopped watching Buffy after season 4 because they just couldn't stand it that Spike had moved to Sunnydale (even though Angel got his own show out of the deal... and it isn't like Buffy was ever going to have a happy fulfilling relationship with anyone).
You don't know...it has been too long. But the bitterness was mind boggling, there were ads in the paper, letters written to the sponsors (in addition to the exprected ones to Joss & the network).
Of course most guys wanted Buffy to be with Xander or Reilly (they were never going to get any joy... but then none of us were).
I should probably mention that this is why I'm convinced that the SECOND Mal hooks up with Inara, she is doomed to a painful horrible death.
just sayin'

Quote:Around that time, and I wasn't watching it btw, the big thing I remember is hearing Howard Stern drone on and on about how great the series was while hearing his show at work, and how cool, effed up things happened on it. Sad to say, I took this to mean it wasn't great

.But he was right.
I can imagine actual fistfights over the Angel/Spike thing, now that you mention it...
Angel's a Nancy-boy Chrisisall

*gleefull with antici....pation*
Well, I sold my X-Men comics and got the dough. The Chosen Collection is in my hot little hands!
Time to complete the Sunnydale adventure....
Of note: the box is packed tight, and does not allow instant access to the disks, I guess they're intended to be spread out on a bookshelf- I may need to get thin cases (like for Firefly) to permantly store them in...I like artistic challenge
. But the glossy booklet outlining the episodes is cool.
Reviews to follow in the coming days.

I'd say so, if only to finish up the series. Also, in my opinion there where more than a few episodes in each season worth watching more often than on TV.
JOSSIS(Most Definitely)AGOD
Hey, you bought them, Good for you!

Not exactly, Em, the disks are the same ones you get in the seperate sets, but there's one bonus disk in a (rather inexpensive-looking) cardboard sleeve that has new interviews and featurettes.
Last I saw, Buffy died. Can't wait to see the look on her face when she comes back...

Quote:Little did I know back in the early eighties that the X-Men comics I was buying would turn into seven seasons of vampire slaying, and now Joss has written for that same team in those comics, too.

Re-watched The Gift for a refresher, this time allowing the full effect to hit me; many tissues were necessary.
Bargaining 1 & 2...what can I say? It's gonna be a bumpy ride, looks like. Seein' the Buffster all corpseafied was eerie and disturbing- the whole thing was like a nightmare.
Being dead also gave her hair a reddish tinge...
And Xander must have been eating to forget.
