Faith Returns to Buffy
duffbeer writes "According to an
article at Yahoo!, Eliza Dushku will be in the upcoming Buffy season
7! Five episodes are scheduled, along with three over on Angel. Now starting the oft-mentioned space-cowboy-thriller Firefly on Fox, I wonder if Joss have enough juice left
over to invent plots for Faith
as entertaining as those in the past?" Since the Slayer line has to continue through Faith, and since Gellar wants to leave the show after season 7, there is much interesting plot potential with Faith's return.
This is also News for Nerds, and Buffy has quite a following in that demographic. Besides, if you don't want news about tv-shows, disable the damn category in your preferences. It's not like it's hard or anything.

I've always been the kinda guy to fall for the girl dressed like an eskimo.
That new FireFly show, judging by the preview at least, is a complete rip-off of Outlaw Star. Theplot looks exactly the same.

Bite your friggin' tongue. The thing I like most about Buffy is that there IS continuity. They make one-line references to things that happened 3 seasons ago, and foreshadow things that will happen 4 episodes from now. That's what makes the show intelligent, plot arcs.
:)
I feel like I'm having the debate about which is better, Star Trek: TNG, or Deep Space Nine. For stand-alone episodes, TNG wins hands-down, "The Inner Light" and "Best of Both Worlds" clinch it alone. But, for plot lines, intrigue, and suspense sustained over an entire season, Deep Space Nine wins easily. I'm not going to claim that either series was better than the other, though I'll give ST:TNG credit for fueling a renewed interest in Star Trek in a younger generation.
It's all about what kind of TV you want to watch, if you like being able to watch TV episodes in any order, and having the characters live inside a bubble in which they never reference anything that happened in the past, that's fine, it's your choice. But for people who are really fans of a show, it's a much more rewarding viewing experience to know that each episode is only one part of a larger picture.
I also appreciate that (apart from Vampires, Demons, etc.) Buffy is one of the most realistic shows on TV when it comes to human intereactions. I'm not some hard core Buffy disciple either, I just started watching it this summer when a co-worker convinced me to sic my TiVo on it when FX started showing it from the beginning. For what I mean by realism, watch the episode where Buffy goes to college, and the little things that she and her roomie do to get back at each other.
And, Buffy scores one more point with me for making frequent references to movies and pop culture, especially when Xander does it. Roger Ebert wrote, in his review of Jay & Silent Bob, that it always feels so strange when you watch a movie or TV show in which the characters have apparently never seen a movie or TV show, and they never reference it. Next time you're out with your friends, see how many pop culture references you make to movies or TV shows, then notice how few movies or shows will ever include a reference to another show, it just feels weird. A good example of this was when Buffy and some college guys were turned into cave-people by some tainted beer, Xander said they were out "Questing for Fire", which got a good snicker out of me.

Oh God, be quiet you sad bastard. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is easily the most overrated show of all time. It's Beverly Hills 90210 with vampires and demons... it's no deeper than that. "Ohh... it's about the difficulty of puberty and the adult world... and it represents them using demons! How marvellous!" No, it's a show about attractive teenagers - it is, at best, a well choreagraphed fighting show with some decent stunts - and, at worst, crudely written wank material for lonely nerds.
Get a fucking life, and Taco too.
Like I give a fuck that AnandTech reviewed ATI's Mobility Radeon 9000? Quit whining; just keep scrolling when you see an article that you don't care about.
And if you actually tried watching it, you might like it. I used to think it was lame, back before I ever saw an episode.
Does she get naked! not likely.
... thanks Sam Raimi ;)
checkout CNDB.com the Celebrity Nudity Database (the whole concept of which makes me laugh).
It was really weird when i realised that it was Eliza Dushku who played the daughter in True Lies.
"Bring it on"
a light hearted amusing movie about cheerleading
also features Kirsten Dunst and the one who played Glory in Buffy.
Im just another Teenage fanboy!
Mmm Kirsten Dunst in "get over it" pointless and gratuitous scene just so that we get to see her at the pool in a bikini.
Mmm Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman, unecessary rain and a tight dress
My lord, some of us don't want to know anything about the upcoming season. It's getting to where you can't read Slashdot anymore....
Has it ever occurred to Slashdot that perhaps we DON'T like our TV shows' plots announced before they're on! Does CmdrTaco have to join the ranks of ChrisD on my blocked poster list? Bah! Leave me and my sci-fi shows alone! Alone, I say!
Some of us were trying to avoid finding anything out about Buffy's upcoming season. Thanks a whole fucking lot for posting a spoiler right on the front page. God damn, you guys are fucking irresponsible some times. If it hadn't been for the Lone Gunmen thing, I might be willing to forgive it as a mistake, but you idiots should know better. Jesus fucking Christ.

And yet, you seem to have no problem talking about it or telling others how they should run their lives. Heh.
