I bought season 5 of buffy about two days ago ( i know i am behind, 1-3 i got the day they came out)
and 4 a couple of weeks later. i was watching it and i forgot the episode but,,let me start this way...I know most of you probaly made mathces between :Angel, Buffy, and Firefly and charaters...Mal= buffy, Jayne= Spike, River= Fred and Kaylee i thought of was Willow,,until i remebered about Tera, and a line she said when : willow walked in the Magic Box with Buffy and Tera said "hey you" who else does that sound like? :) what other simularities have you guys found between Characters and Lines..????

But if you can find a creative line from Titan AE to Firefly, please post a spoiler notice - Whedon won't want to read it

I would say that there are times when I would compare Wash to Xander, mainly with some of his one-liners, and especially character-wise in War Stories, when he looks up to Zoe in the same way as Xander does to Buffy, and wishes he could contribute more heroically in events.

Wash is TOTALLY Xander, you can tell by the Hawaiian shirts. And Book = Giles, except Giles not so much with the celibacy. But in terms of single-minded focus on ass-kicking, Buffy=Zoe.

OMG, now you've got me wondering about Ugly Veiny Simon...

There's a planet Bob somewhere in the 'verse right?

Yeah! I just realized that some weeks ago. It just made me laugh so much when I realized one of my fav characters are a lot alike (Spike=Jayne, River=Willow). That should be telling me something, shouldn't it?

Tara=Zoe (I think) or maybe Inara?
Then who's Cordelia in Firefly?

Cordelia=tactless+pretty, so that's Simon's ecological niche. Cordelia isn't stupid (consider her SAT results although she isn't unusually brilliant either).

And I don't agree with the Spike=Jayne analogy (although I can see Jayne writing poems even more Bloody Awful than William's) because I'd call Jayne sociopathic but not really consciously evil.

Yeah, but Spike isn't really consciously (sp?)evil to me. Somehow I believe he tries to prove himself all the time. Refer back to Season 7 when it shows Spike RIGHT after he turned Vamp. He has a conscious and always will have one no matter what he does.
I see Jayne being being someone he truely isn't. I mean, why would he have second thoughts on certain things he's done?

But then if they're not like each other, who's Jayne like?

Hehe Simon's like Cordelia... Who's like Willow?

But I guess there is no right answer to all theses opinions unless it comes from Joss himself. ^-^;;

There's a scene in "The Gift" when Crazy Tara says something eerily River-ish.
