^^^ hahaha... Magnum P.I. was the show everyone could point too as utter crap on a stick. I have a theory that you can put Tom Selleck in anything and people will watch it. Same with Scott Bakula.

BTW, have you noticed all the shows created to promote Homeland Security? That is, promote it as friendly and not the Gestapo is really is.

The new Sci-Fi (Ha!) thing "the 4400" is nothing more than a promotion for Homeland Security.

SSDD!

Sorry for the offtopiciness.

I never noticed any Dawn reference in Season three. Could you fill me in about this. What episode? When? Is it a direct comment or something you have to read into? Is it mentioned in the comentary that it's really about Dawn? Thanks.

There are really two comments, although only one is mentioned in the commentary as being about Dawn. In Graduation Day, Pt. 1, Faith says something to Buffy about being "dressed up in big sister's clothes" just before they have their big fight. In Graduation Day, Pt. 2, during the dream sequence between Faith and Buffy, Faith says something to Buffy (and I don't remember the exact wording) about "Little Miss Muffet...(and there's more to that that I can't think of)", but Joss says in the commentary that it was a reference to Dawn. In season 5's episode "The Real Me", they carry that through when the crazy guy comes up to Dawn and says "curds and whey...curds and whey".

That's my recollection. For the exact wording you should watch the episodes again and listen to the commentary.

Personally, I'm definitely for a series built around Giles.
I wouldn't have believed that Angel in LA could be as interesting as it turned out to be, so who's to say that a Giles show wouldn't be just as cool?

And hey! We could always get lots of Ethan Rayne!

I would be extremely ectatic if the Series did go through. I hate how people keep saying to me 'We wish Joss would be alowed to move on as an artist, away from Buffy.' People, lest we forget, without FOX and Buffy, we would not have Joss and we would not have Firefly.

And I would also like to say that DB said that he isn't interested in TV movies, but a big screen. SMG pretty much alluded to the same thing. DB also mentioned that he would want Sarah on board, vice versa with SMG wanting DB. They also want a good, decent script.

As a 'Watcher' long before Browncoat, I would rather see a good, Buffy/Angel movie before the final two Firefly flicks.

It's imperitive to get a B/A movie out ASAP, JM has said that he probably has about five years left of being able to play spike (the man is 41 years old) and DB is approaching 35. My B/A ending is, to me, a little more important. We've been waiting so long.

The exact qoute from Graduation Day part two was "Miles to go. Little Miss Muffet counting down from 730". "Miles to go" is aquote from a Robert Frost poem about death, Little Miss Muffet is obviously Dawn and 730 was the number of days left until the dramatic events of 'The Gift'.

I'm all for more Buffy spin offs, there are so many stories left to tell. I've been writing some Buffy and Angel crossover fanfic and come up with loads of exciting stories. I'm sure if i can do it Genius Joss certainly can

he doesn't really tell. tells something different everytime he's asked.
some say he's 44, some say 41. it's pretty certain he's older than 40 and younger than 50.

he does look younger though, doesn't he? and what's even more interesting he seems to have changed very little since he started playing Spike in S2 of Buffy. DB has changed lots more in the same time. just watch some early S2 Buffy EPs and some late S5 Angel ones and compare. JM is the optimal vampire, he doesn't change (or almost doesn't).

As well as the references to Dawn in Graduation Day, there was a line at the beginning of This Year's Girl, while Faith and Buffy make the bed.

Faith: Oh, you have to go.
Buffy: It's just with . . .
Faith: Little sis coming. I know. So much to do before she gets here.

And then again in Restless, during Buffy's dream she looks at the clock which says 7:30, but Tara tells her 'that clock's completely wrong' (obviously by now it would be 365), and then tells Buffy to 'Be back before Dawn.'

Joss is a genius, but f course we already knew that. I think a Giles telemovie would be fantastic, but then I have learnt now to trust Joss completely, so I think anything he does would be completely shiny.

Can we start getting sexed already?

Yeah, You're not the only one who knows about the whole 730/miss muffet thing from Grad day.

Asked JM at a convention when he was here in Cleveland and he said 38. But we all know he shaves at least five years off his age (due to the indescrepicies).

DB's faced filled out a little more and he looked excellant in Season 3 and Season 1 of Angel. The reason, IMHO, he looks like he gained weight (see him shirtless in Just Rewards? Trimmed hunk of salty goodness) because they really started putting him in ill-fitting clothes by Season 3. He also had to grow his hair out a bit for The Crow 4 (end of season four, begining of Season Five). So ill-fitting clothes and hair REALLY make you look diffrent.

So yes, I want my Buffy/Angel reunion of lurve before a second Serenity.
