We get cheezy props, like a little finger puppet for Grrr Arghh, champagne poppers for Willow & Tara's ahem culmination, vampire fangs, etc... It's a lot of fun. There is a website out there with a newsletter that keeps us up to date on the events, they're pretty rare these days, so it's good to have a line in to them.

She wrote a book called Death's Daughter, and she had a signing in Houston earlier in the day, so my guess is that it was kind of a tie in to that. I bought it of course, and she signed it for me. First real autograph I've ever gotten (I don't think Cinderalla at Disney counts). I'm not sure who else has been to one though. It was a 7 hour drive for us this time, which I think is about my limit in terms of following the show around. :) I'll try to remember to post here if they give us notice of another one. In the meantime, you can always do it in your living room! :D

Anyway, Joss, who was fairly blamed for not doing much when the actor who played Doyle was drinking himself into the ground (that whole "we always planned to kill off one of the main characters early in the series" stuff is total bunk), way overreacts because he doesn't want to be the bad guy again. Lots of angry accusations and recriminations. A failed, way-over-the-top "intervention." Bizarre revenge through creepy character arc (which apparently was originally written to be a LOT more graphic and incestuous, and Whedon was forced against his will to tone it down). All leading to one of the best episodes Whedon's ever written, "You're Welcome," which sends Cordelia off the show in the most perfect manner possible. From what I've heard from friends in the biz, this is sort of Whedon's thing - his writing matches exactly whatever his emotional state is. If he likes you, or wants you to like him, the characterization will be incredible. If he's pissed at you, suddenly your character had problems. If he hates you, your character is going to be involved in something gross and involving lots of prosthetics and goo. Apparently he doesn't fire; he just fucks with people.

They totally changed Cordelia in S4, but I guess the same can be said about Buffy/Willow/Xander in S7 but at least they a) got to live b) were somewhat redeemed. Cordy just

Willow, Xander, that Principal, Faith, Giles, Anya, Kennedy, they were all so mean and vile and rude and I cant stand them at all!! but I still have 2 more episodes to go, so maybe I will change my mind. I used to love Anya.

I have hated Xander since season 3 and that never changed. Willow I hated because I hated the new bitch she was doing. um either Tara or Oz...no one new! K? K! Robin Wood <3, I felt sorry for him and he was likeable enough Faith <3333333333333333 imo, she did nothing wrong after she came back Giles, mild hate! Anya, I could never hate her and I liked her relationship with Buffy so yes <3 Kennedy! SO MUCH HATE! THAT WAS THE BITCH I WAS THINKING ABOUT! Weird how the vilest and most evil character remained unlisted aka DAWN SUMMERS. Least favo character ever! Amanda <333

I went to one a few years back and planned to go to another one, but the guy who organized them was being told to stop by Sony. It was really fun and the organizer did a really good job adding his own touches. One small thing I remember is when the people are singing about getting the mustard out, he came leaping down the aisle with dry cleaning. Super cute and great for any fan.

I just finished reading the first volume (first 5?) of the BTVS Comics and I really enjoyed it. I'm not a comic book guy so I thought I wouldn't but it was really funny and cool.

The last season has the awesome puppet Angel episode and the first season has that great episode with Pregnant Cordilia.

The five seasons are kind of a U or V shape -- starts out good, gets kinda boring (esp S3), but recovers and gets better. S5 was epic. I thought the WWII episode was fascinating, and the epi where Spike and Angel look for Buffy (and find Andrew) was classic.
