Quote:Well, if you're a Buffy fan, then you've seen the movie, right? Much more campy than the series. Whedon has many complaints about changes that were made that ignored the story his script was trying to tell. His biggest complaint is that Sutherland (played Merrick, Buffy's first watcher) rewrote a lot of his own dialog to suit himself. Apparently Whedon's vision of Merrick was not even close to Sutherland's!

Darkhorse did a Buffy "origins" series that is supposed to be closer to the spirit of the original script. Out of print, though you can sometimes find it on EBay.

Yeah, I read the novelization of the Movie. (And have the movie on DVD) The writer is total crap with delusions of Anne Riceness, but the gist of script is there. Oh so much better than the movie.

Speaking of missing ATS characters, anyone remember Nathan Reed? He was a senior WH lawyer in season 2, a bald man with big, black glasses. I can't see any reason why we haven't seen him again, other than the actor just not being able to continue with the role.
That's unfortunate because his apparent replacement, the silver-haired Linwood, is possibly the least interesting character in all of Whedonverse, second only to Gavin, who himself was brought to replace Lindsay.

There's a big Holland Manners shaped hole at the centre of W&H. Of the two replacements I'll take Linwood over Reed.
Agree about Gavin too. Still it is realistic in that it feels like he came from the Real Estate department.
Guess we'll just have to wait until Connor gets his law degree.

Yes, there was a scene where they canned her. Right after the affair with the Precinct Cdr bringing dead cops back to terrorize the streets.
I don't have the title of the ep, but I'm sure someone out there in FFN land does.

The ep's called "Repise." And yes, I'm aware that I'm geek.

I agree about Gavin. At least with Lilah and Lindsey their backstabbing was each to further their own careers. Gavin doesn't seem to be trying to get ahead so much as knock Lilah down. It's annoying. Lindsey was a really great and interesting character. Probably the most developed of all the W&H lawyers as he actually seemed to be a fully realized character. I love that they explored how and why he made the choices he did to be "evil". He sold his soul to escape his past. I noticed last season they tried to do something similar with Lilah (twice mentioning her mother in a home with what seems to be Alzheimers), but it seemed forced with her. Lindsey was so cool. He even had a couple of really great personal reasons for hating Angel (the hand thing, and his love of Darla). Lilah's only real reason for hating Angel is that he bit her that time his body was snatched by the old man, and she even found out later that wasn't him! And Gavin, he has no purpose. No reason to hate Angel, other than he works for W&H. He seems to be less of a character than a simple foil for Lilah, and most of the time, she manages to be that for herself. I say they either can him or start developing him, because GEEZ is he annoying!

Lilah: How did you find me?
Angel: Your assistant.
Lilah: I’ll have his arms broken.
Angel: Already taken care of.

Well, I'm just a Whedon Geek. I like to specialize.
