Well there is a bit of an issue here since in my country we're
watching the second season, and we are not watching Angel.
Right now he's a bad guy so he doesn't rule for me at all. I've seen
some episodes of Angel on Pro7 and I don't know the situation, but I
hate they separated the shows.
So when will he turn to the light side again? And how?

Aaaah well if you are on Season 2, then you really don't want me to tell

But I love Season 2 Angelus - I still say he rocks better than Buffy.

I'm sitting in the dark, on my throne, all alone. Or something. Yeah,
definately or something. Hmm...perhaps it's time for a new ABE Quiz: the

Pfftt....actually...no. I don't want to and probably couldn't choose
between the two.

Actually, you won't hate the fact they separated the shows so much later
on. It makes good sense, and you may hate it on a purely emotional, gut
level, but it's fairly clear it's all for the best in the end. Better
for both shows, really.
Oh, and actually, Angelus (the way we fan people refer to the 'Evil'
soulless version of Angel) rules big time. He, in fact, ROCKS! Best vamp
baddie on either show, ever. Nobody else comes close. 'course, he rocks
from that whole 'Evil Thing' perspective..
In a way, I'm jealous. You're watching Buffy's second season, the one
some consider to be the very best one (great eps and, well, silly and
trite eps all mixed up, but somehow I sorta like them all..) for the
first time. Enjoy it. Not that S3 is worse, mind you..
:-)
> So when will he turn to the light side again? And how?
As Sue said, I don't think you really want to know the answer to that.
Which episode are you at, specifically? If you can't give us a title
(don't go looking on the net for epguides with synopses, I reccomend,
especialy in this case, that you watch the rest of the season without
prior knowledge of events..) give us what happened in the last ep you
saw, we can take it from there. Even discuss it, perhaps.
Oh, and FYI, you can buy the whole show on VHS in the UK. Or the vastly
superior DVD, of course, with season 3 coming out soon, seasons 1 and 2
out already. Angel S1 should be on it's way as well...

No indeed. Unless you're positive. Then I'll give you a vague
explanation. But only if you've seen 'Passion'. And I won't tell you the
whole story (I'm Evol[tm])
> But I love Season 2 Angelus - I still say he rocks better than Buffy.
Hmm...he 'rocks', because, well, his evilness is cool and fascinating.
But hey, I actually *like* Buffy, the character. Angelus is far more
charismatic, though, definately.

The last one was when Oz turned out to be a werewolf. Just after the
two episodes where Angel became Angelus.
Discuss it? I don't know. I actually don't want to remeber the episode
after they slept and when he was so rude/evil/hartless/cold-blooded
bastart to Buffy. (now mix that up and find me an english word for
that)
I mean, the first season was ok, but nothing one wouldn't expect for a
teenager's show. It was funny, and that's all.
Now, the second one surprised me a lot. It had important issues
brought up - the two of them were together but there was this constant
presence of the problem that he was a vampire and that she couldn't
have a normal life too, and in the end when Buffy decides to sleep
with Angel on her 17th birthday,.. I never expected this subjects in a
tv-show like that.

Yes, that would be 'Phases', episode number 15 (of 22) of the second
season. 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewilderd' is up next, and after that
many a person's favorite ep, 'Passion'.
*sigh*
Wish I was new to it all...

Heh. Sensetive, aren't you? It's harsh, it's brutal, it's mean, but at
the same time it's great television, spiffy drama (bad adjective, but
hey) and impressive all 'round. Still one of my favorite episodes of the
season (Surprise, first part with the birthday stuff going on, and
Innocence, with the aftermath..)

S1 is quite...unique. It's very episodic, but it's sharply written, has
a few real gems in there (Nightmares) which, IMO, elevate it above
average Teen fare. Still, it's the least 'representative' season of
Buffy, in many ways, although I like it a lot (probably a big 'nostalgia
factor' involved there..)

Well, enjoy. Such is Buffy.

Well, yes. That's how I do it, most of the time..
Season 1:

Season 2:

The boxes are nice, although packaging on the S2 set has been a bit of a
disaster (packaging seemingly can damage discs; I'm keeping mine in
Jewel cases.) The commentary tracks are great, and there are a number of
featurettes, etc. Word of warning, though: the commentary tracks contain
spoilers for pretty much the first four seasons and some of 'Angel' as
well, so..
Anyway, back to following that Michelle Trachtenberg chat at the BBC's
website...

Gah...why did I do that? WHY!!???
Seriously, though, just watch Passion. The beauty isn't so much the
'what happens' as the how it's told, how it's portrayed, all that kind
of fun stuff. Knowing what exactly happens isn't really going to satisfy
anything at all. I know it never did for me; spoilers do not increase
enjoyment.
Truly, wait and see. It's worth it. Most good things are. Besides, it's
not that far off, is it? a week and a half or so by now, right?
'course, if you insist, I could tell you the barebones basics.

Ah, indeed. This feeling is exactly the reason you don't want spoilers.
Did you expect it? No. Did the surprise greaten the impact? I should
think so. Therein lies the beauty of unspoildness. I was spoiled for a
number of things in Buffy's 5th seasons that I wish I hadn't been,
because I was ufortunate enough to cross a newsgroup that had spoilers
in headers, or without appropriate spoilerspace.

Huh? What do you mean? Not avaliable? Of course it is. If the links
don't work, go to play247.com or amazon.co.uk and search for Buffy.
They're all there, and the boxes are decently priced, considering you're
getting all 22 eps (12 for S1) for each season. not bad at all.

Umm...www.buffystore.com? That's in the US, I think..

Yeah, I was on alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer and...
<WARNING: If you didn't watch the 5th season entirely, don't read

..found out that she's dead or something. So it won't be as much a
surprise when I see it, but I couldn't belive for a minute what I was
reading. I instantenously sent a message to my sister and she couldn't
belive it either. She was in school and she said the whole class
couldn't belive it. :-)) I guess tomorrow the whole town wouldn't
belive it.
So I do want to know the important facts because it get me interested
in the show more and more.

Spoiler rules, FWIW: Use spoielrspace. It's explained at
http://bite.to/abe, but the basic thing is this: insert 25 lines of
space so people have to scroll to read.
SPOILERS BUFFY SEASON 5

Well, OK. It's too bad, in a sense, but being a full 3.5 years 'behind'
the US airings of the show, it's going to be hard, if not impossible,
not to be spoiled for some things..

Hi, I was wondering why the Buffy amercan groups are so crammed up
with messages and this one isn't. Are you people of Europe having
their own national newsgroup for Buffy. Here in Croatia we don't have
it, yet.
Daas uut Bavel
new Buffy episodes airing. But soon, on the BBC, season 5 will be all new
for me. (havent been spoiled, me)

Heh. You can legally, via DVD, get the next one (season 3) for starters.
There are several tape trading places in the UK that will do a complete
season on VHS, IIRC...never used 'em myself, though.

Erm...mostly, the people here are dutch. Some brits, some other
nationalities, but mostly dutch people looking for English Language
discussion. The US groups (alt.*) are always huge, really busy, nobody
knows anyone and psoting there is like shouting in a thundertorm; you
won't get heard.
There's also the uk Buffy and Angel groups (uk.media.tv.*) that are a
little busier.

Many do, there's also a German one, I think. Thing is, most countries
aren't showing new eps right now (the BBC in the UK started, Holland has
none, dunno what Germany's up to) so not much discussion there. When the
new US seasons start we may get some discussion in here, actually.
I must say, though, that this group has been particularly quiet over the
last few months. Ah well..

Season 2 is 76 british pounds (I don't have the sign on my keyborad)
which is a bit too much for me right now, I didn't take a look at the
other prices.

Yes but if many people reads it you'll eventually get an answer. I
posted some questions there and one jerk gave me some
wise-ass-no-funny-crap answers, but some other guy actually answered.
And I found there quite som insteresting subjects, for instance, how
the next slayer is chosen, but moslly it's offteopic crap.

It's a lot, yes, but worth it. Compared to some other DVD releases
(X-Files, Farscape) it's not much at all. Anyway, play247.com has it for
67.99, delivered and all. You won't find it much cheaper.
www.dvdzone2.com may be a little less, but you'll get french packaging,
apparently.

Hmmm...perhaps the German edition? I never really pay much attention to
what subtitles the discs have, but Croatian seems like a long shot..

Hmmm, that didn't work Mattia. You see I have already enabled my

Erm, no. I'm over here. That's just a pile of shrimp where Sue was, but
moved. She tried, but failed to really really shrimp me.

There. Just turned on my Time Shift Decetion and Interception device.
Retroactively, of course. In case Sue tries something with the new

Good grief, is that the best you can do?

Don't worry, I am wearing my anti-trout defences. (bear with me it's
late). My defences keep the trout off me at about the same distance as
the Vampire Disintegration Field. This means that although it looks like
the trout has splatted and so you get some satisfaction, in fact it
doesn't hit me at all.

A couch? Good grief man.
<Sue gets back in her tank and squishes Mattia's sofa and his weaponry
flat, all of it, and then fires it with her SuperBlasterWeaponryThingy

<Sue fires off a round of crab sticks, and stands and laughs as Mattia

I DO have a Mattia shrine. Its over there between the Pikelet Shrine and
the Tim Minear Shrine. I polish it daily.

And thats just plain cheating. You knew I was priming the TimeMachine
function of the ABE teleport. And don't give me any rubbish about future
selves and coming back and doing something to the time line because rips
in the space-time continuum just don't interest me.
And there, I just disabled your Time Shift Deception and Interception
Device. how? Well I used the TimeMachine function of the ABE teleport
of course.
Hah!

Yes, but that's the beauty. The original sent a message to the time when
the incursion occured and fired up a backup timeshift framesetting
continuosimator, which cloaked the backup from the incrusion, thus
enabling the system to remain intact. Post incursion, said backup
reactivated the deactivated gizmo via a parallel rift in the ST
continuum....are you following me?

Hey! It's next to a Pikelet (don't ask) and a Tim Minear Shrine. Now, it
could still be a 'hahaha' shrine, but that wouldn't go down well with
the Tim Shrine (Minear, not Pikelet Tim) now would it?

Ah, but you're not getting it. You can agree with her, or you can
support her in actually doing, y'know, stuff. Although to be fair, she's
got a little more support than me (Liz) right now. Oy vey. I have
experience, but that doesn't necessarily coun for much at all in LRTs.
Sue's a UMTA veteran, and, uh, they be crazy.

Oh there's nothing poor about George, don't worry about that. Mattia abuses

So why isn't a copy available for us newbies then? Perhaps this would
make a nice joining present. Perhaps it could be a way of getting people
to unlurk and join us here and *shudder* post?

Hey! Leave the poor cow alone! I'm prepared to re-active the seafood

Oh, I have one (or a few <eg>) of those, but this one's the 2000XZ. Kind

Hmm. Since when do you even HAVE a teleporter? Mine's personal (RepliMax
with built in transporter, that's the beauty of it..but this is common
knowledge.) It's mine, not the group's. Sas has one too. So does George.
Must stay away from yours.

Nope. I've upgraded (and since, well, I AM the R&D department you can't
bribe them for the codes..)
Right. Now to activate that strange zing noise making whatsit..
<presses small button embedded into his left hand>
<small black unit materializes around Mattia's neck, spreading a new and

There. Suited up again. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be checking out my
weaponry. I think the Fully Automatic Shrimp Gattling gun and Trout
Launcher are due for a checkout. Haven't been used in ages..

Oh now I accidently tricked you in giving us your age. But I was actually
referring to the wisdom... Of which I have sooooo much. And you too of
course :)
But indeed, I'm much much older than you, which is no big surprise because
I'm actually quite old.
While I'm at it, cool that you gave your profile. Now we must badger Mattia
a lot to put it up the website which he has been NEGLECTING disgustingly
lately. Mattia, do I need to get really cross now? I think it's that time...
<polishes whip and boots>
And of course I saw your website! Don't give me URL and then tell me not to
go look! I'm way too curious for that (Emma is cute!). The only stuff I can
stay away from is spoilers. Loved the stortroopes! Maybe something we might
want to make with the Dutch group.

Well, we have divided them well, then. Cos I really prefer to blame George
for stuff. He cries you know, which is way cool.

Ah! Finally! You found it. Thanks. Mattia really doesn't need that rent and
food money. Spending a month on the streets of Amsterdam should do him some
good.

I know... it's just as boring in the Dutch group (nkSF). Maybe we should
just ad follow up headers in these LRT's to UMTA and nkSF :)

It's the big bad EvilSas that brings out things in people...scary, that.

Umm..right. Wisdom goes hand in hand with a sick, sick mind apparently.

Yeah. Sure Sas. Honestly though, you don't look at all old. But mabye
I'm just blind.

Oh. Dear.
And yes, unfortunately you have a big, valid, point. Say, Jon? Any
chance of emailing me this year's top 10 lists so I don't have to use
Google groups and can stick to plain text?

Stortroopers are cool. I kept trying to make one of me, but it kept
crashing the applet, and I never managed to save it. Very very annoying.

Way, way up. Top 10 material, definately (oh, wait, never mind.) Top 5,
even. I'd wager top 3 or 2, actually.

I don't cry much. I'm too much of a manly man (Well, no, not really. I'm
not sure why I don't, but, well, I don't. Much.) But indeed. blaming
George, especially since he's not here and his computers been dead and
needs formatting for about 2 or three weeks.
<takes deep breath>
Right. Next up, I experiment (wildly) with things like commas and
phrasing. It's a corker!

You *BLEEP*...What the *BLEEP*?? Who the *BLEEP* turned on the
God*BLEEP* JerrySpringerator? *BLEEP* it...
<walks over and bashes the *BLEEP* thing..>
And, uh, Sas? That was my spending money. I was gonna use it for the
conventions I plan to attend. And the microphone I need to buy. And the
mixer. And the guitar pickups and tuning machines. *snif*. Cruel, cruel
world..(check out my phrasing and interesting use of interpuntion (well,
OK, periods) to increase the impact of what I'm saying. Nice, huh?) The
food 'n' rent money is in the bank. The safe one. With George and Liz's
credibilities.
(BTW, Liz's credibility tried to hit on Georges. Interesting...I'm
thinking of locking them in the same vault with some videocameras. 'Big
Brother: The Cred Battle'. Could get kinky.)

OI!!! You can't!!! I'll sue you if you and George [3] have been so evil to
rip off my Replimat RX-A-8472 [tm]. You and George had the FreezeMeisters
[4] and I replied with my very own and special and secretly designed
Replimat [1]! Because I don't cheat and never tried to copy your FM (okay
okay so I tried, failed and came up with something even better but no-one
knows and if you ever tell I'll deny this). So you can go to UMTA (where you
know I won't see it) and brag about owning a Replimax or Replimat or
whatever you want to call it but you and I know and now everyone in abe
knows that you have been stealing and copying (very badly I might add) my
design. That's just not done. Not even in LRT's.
For the record [2].

[4] speaking of ridiculously inefficient designs [5]
