Also, I'm sure everyone already knows, but Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof welcomed their daughter, Satyana, on her Alyson's 35th birthday. Congratulations to them both! :D

And it's about time, too. That thing has been in there FOREVER. :P

Well, I'm donem folks.

Angel: Season Five - By far, my favorite Angel season. Even though we lose my favorite Angel character, Cordelia, we gain Spike, Harmony, and Illyria. And we lose Connor! :D Lindsey unfortunatly returned, but was fortunatly killed by Lorne. Three of my favorite characters also all die: Cordelia. Cordy. Epitome of bitch, yet still the most loveable person on the show. Her character development is probably the most oustanding in the Buffyverse all together. Going from the snarky, ill-tempered young girl of Sunnydale to the repsectable, sarcastic, amazing woman of Los Angeles. And then there's Fred. Cute, charming Fred. And right when her relationship with Wesley started! I loved Illyria, but I would take Fred back in her place in a heartbeat. Leading me to the next victim, this time of a fight. "Would you like me to lie to you now?" Oh, God. Fred/Illyria holding a dying Wes in her arms made me tear up. On the bright side, we get Harmony. I used to not like her so much, but after watching Harm's Way she quickly became my new favorite, following Fred. Even though she pretty much betrayed Angel in the end, she is souless, so you can't really blame her. Connor's return at first had me angered, but then I saw that he had changed, and I even liked him a bit. And in the end, no matter how many life-altering changes the gang meant, they continuned to do what they had done since day one: Fight.

Favorite episodes:

Conviction
Harm's Way
You're Welcome
A Hole in the World
The Girl in Question

I got it...

I've been stuck on Buffy Season 3, waiting for a sale like this.

That's why I haven't stuck my head in here too much, because of spoilers, etc. (and some of the stuff in the first part of the thread...)

I'm probably going to start Buffy Season 4/Angel Season 1 sometime soon, can someone break down the BEST way to watch these with crossovers, etc.? Also, the same help for the rest of the seasons would be appreciated.

For the next two seasons, watch an episode of Buffy, then one of Angel. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm thinking of watching a disc of Buffy, then a disc of Angel, instead of having to swap out discs EVERY episode. Do you think that will keep me caught up fairly well on the crossovers?

Wow, that's kinda random. I mean, I know David's in Bones and all, but it still seems out of place. I think it would have gone better on Dollhouse since it has more Buffy/Angel alumni and it's actually a Joss show.

Don't do that.

littlefuzzy, if you search on Google or Yahoo Answers, there are bound to be a few episode viewing order guides. It's really best if you use them, because since there are a few cross-overs, you may be spoiled or not understand something.

I met Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, and Adam Busch over the weekend

Emma was very nice. My daughter and I both gushed about how we loved Anya and her singing :)

Charisma was so very sweet, very personable...HUGE smile...but not a fake one. I told her I just watched the episode of CSI the other day with her in it and we laughed about the stupid name her character had...Meek. I asked if she really jumped out of the plane for the episode and she said thought she's skydived before and loved it, the producers wouldn't let her. She also was surprised to see my 10 year old daughter was a fan for several years. Asked her if the shows ever scared her...Both CSI and Buffy, but my daughter was quick to point out she knows its all fake and she loves all that forensic science and vampire stuff.

Then we saw Amber who was so sweet. We talked more about her one time role on Cold Case than Buffy. I tend to get the feeling many of these actors like it when someone brings up a lesser known role rather than go on and on about the same most famous role. In Cold Case, Amber played a hippie who helped pregnant girls get safer abortions, during a time that abortion was illegal and the whole "coat hanger in a dirty alley" started. We talked about the awards it won and was nominated for. And she said she needs to stop getting roles where she ends up dead. :lol: She also said how her friends yelled at her when they saw the episode because at the part before she was killed, she just sat there and cried...they yelled at her for not fighting back and she was like, "I couldn't! It wasn't in the script!"

Adam was very sweet. His looks changed the most. He seemed to have lost weight and had grown a goatee and mustache. I told him my favorite scenes from him where when he played Willow. He said he enjoyed that too.

They all were very nice. And I enjoyed it all very much :) I added their autographs to my growing Buffy autograph collection in the yearbook

Yes, please post pictures of your yearbook!

And I love Charisma, Emma, and Amber! (Not so much Adam..., although I love how Tara and Warren are dating. :P )
