Subject: Yes, it was inevitable, my own answers to my poll...
In reply to: silver 's message, "twenty (or near) answers" on 00:27:53 05/29/03 Thu

Well, strangely enough, it's taken me forever to answer all these questions but finally it is done.

1)Who was your fav character (living or un/dead)?
Faith.

2. What was ya fav ep?
Dopplegangland.

3. What was ya fav season?
Duh. Season Three.

4. Who was your least fav character?
Haven't I been vocal enough about which characters I hate? The order goes: Anya, Harmony, Dawn. Dawn used to be my second most despised character but she improved slightly in S7. I still don't like her tho.

5. What was you least fav ep?
I've narrowed it down to either 'Living Conditions' or 'Real Me'.

6. How would you rank the seasons, from best to worst?
S3, S2, S1, S4, S6, S7 (from what I have seen of it so far) and lastly, that shitty season that revolved around Dawn - S5.

7. How would you rank the season finals, from best to worst?
'Graduation Day part 2', 'Grave', 'Becomming part 2', 'Prophecy Girl', 'The Gift' and last of all is 'Restless' which was an utterly pointless episode that Joss pulled outta his arse. I still can't believe that you rank 'The Gift' above 'Graduation Day part 2', sil, but at least you ranked S3 above S1 in your answer to question #6;)

8. Who was your fav recurring character?
Faith.

9. What were three of your fav quotes?
Buffy:"I told you. I said end of the world. And you're like, "Pooh-pooh, Southern California, pooh-pooh." (from 'Doomed').

Xander:"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to anger. No, wait, hold on. Fear leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side. Hold on, no...First you get the women, then you get the money, then you...Okay, can we forget that?" (from 'The Freshman).

Spike:"The torch I bear is scorching me
And Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies...
I'd better help her out." (from what else? 'Once More With Feeling')


10. What kind of character would you have liked to have seen in the show? How would this character have fitted into the show and what would their name have been?
A donkey demon! And he-haw he-haw he-hawlways would like to be called Arthur;) And why would the show need Arthur in it? Because Anya couldn't supply the comic-relief that was needed.

11. What was your fav action sequence/fight?
At first I couldn't think of my fav fight scene but then you reminded me of the Buffy/Faith battle in 'Graduation Day part 1', sil. That's probably my fav 'cause it was Buffy and Faith, two slayers at full strength, kicking each other's arse and the music which played throughout it rocked. They tried to replicate this scene in 'This Year's Girl' (S4) but there was no way that it was going to live up to the original and the best slayer vs slayer fight ever. As for the melee in 'Primeval', sil, I thought it was a bit overdone. I mean, to me it seemed like they tried too hard to out-do S3's final battle by having a whole bunch of soldiers randomly thrown threw the air as explosions went off.

12. In a perfect world, the couples on the show would have been/remained...?
Buffy/Angel, Xander/Cordelia, Willow/Oz, Giles/Jenny. Like you said, sil, all the couples were exactly how they shoulda been for the first few seasons.

13. In an imperfect world, the couples on the show coulda/shoulda been...?
Wish I'd worded this question better. I shoulda said, "in a twisted world" instead of, "in an imperfect world". In a twisted world the couples coulda/shoulda been Buffy/Faith or Buffy/Xander or Willow/Xander (maybe Buffy, Xander and Willow shoulda been a threesome;), Buffy/Giles *eg*, Cordelia/Doyle (I'm not saying C/D would only get together in a twisted world, it's just Cordelia could only be with one person in my answer to #12 and she was with Xander first, so this was the only place I could fit C/D in). And although I rather Dawn be with no one (she shouldn't even exist) the only two people she coulda been with in twisted world were either Connor or Andrew.

14. If you coulda changed one event that happened in the show, what would it have been?
Anya woulda never returned in S4 or (although preferably *as well as*) Dawn woulda never been created. If you could change anything, sil, you'd have the gang never bring Buffy back? But then it'd be the over-confident-Willow, Xander, Anya, Tara and Dawn show! *shudder*

5. What kind of "concept"-type ep would you have liked to have seen made? (eg. 'Hush', 'The Body', 'OMWF')
Pretty much what's already been mentioned. Some kind of black and white period piece where the cast played entirely different ppl. Either that or a puppet episode. And maybe that all-nekkid episode Joss talked about (tho I'd only watch it for nekkid Buffy, Willow and Faith).

16. What actors/actresses would you have liked to see guest-star on BTVS (no matter how unlikely the possibility of them guest-starring would have been)?
Hudson Leick who was Callisto in Xena, Andrea Parker who was Miss Parker in The Pretender (she could play Cordelia's mother;) and Jaime Denton who was Mr. Lyle in The Pretender (I'm kinda getting obsessed with ppl from The Pretender guest-starring on BTVS) he could play...Mr. Lyle on BTVS;)

17. What was your fav song that ever got played on BTVS?
Either 'Pain' by Four Star Mary (played in three different episodes) or 'Virgin State of Mind' by K's Choice (played in 'Dopplegangland'). I should probably mention 'The Background' by Third Eye Blind (played in 'Faith, Hope and Trick' during the *only* good dream sequence that took place during those first few episodes of S3, when Buffy and Angel were dancing) or else Anya might beat me up (it's *our* song, see;)

18. What character would you say most deserved their own show?
Faith. Though I know that's not gonna happen. I like your idea, sil, of an Oz spin-off. A show revolved around a werewolf would be neat (but in some eps he'd have to lose control and escape his cage then wake up the next morning and find out he'd eaten ppl). Though Oz never said much so he'd have to be given more dialogue if the show revolved around him (but then he wouldn't be Oz if he talked awhole lot would he?). I think a Giles spin-off could also work (tho it probably wouldn't turn out like how I've predicted it could). He'd just solve ghost problems. It'd be a far more quiet show than BTVS and not have as many fight scenes I don't think.

19. What other characters would be in this spin-off?
For some reason I think Spike would belong in a Faith spin-off. Strangely enough I could totally see Cordelia teamed up with Oz too, sil. Ever since their brief scene together in 'Lover's Walk' when they went searching for Willow and Xander in Oz's van, I thought the two of them would make a neat team ("team" not "couple"...tho I almost put Cordelia/Oz in my twisted world answers:) and Doyle would join them because I thought they worked well together in that Angel S1 ep 'In The Dark' (and hey, maybe in one ep we'd actually get to see Doyle call Oz his "little Bam-Bam";) As for a Giles spin-off, well, in my prediction he teamed up with a blonde English chick but...uh...I think Willow and hey, why not Oz, Cordelia and Doyle would make up the rest of the cast.

20. Are you glad BTVS has finished?
Well, it hasn't finished here yet but I think I will be glad when it has. Although I don't reckon I'll ever be as *into* a show like I was with BTVS ever again. I mean, no other show have I ever remembered so many quotes from, bought novels based on, bought every single episode on tape of or been as obsessed with as I was with BTVS. I mean, I never missed a *single* ep of BTVS (even when I noticed the episodes weren't so good any more). It would be pretty hard to accept the show finishing for good except now it just ain't so great anymore. Still, I'm sure when it's over I'll feel the void it's left and miss it. At least I'll still have Angel (which I prefer now;)
