First to say who cares
-
... ya
-
I think sometimes Joss wishes he were a woman so he could have been gay.
-
at least it's not Adam.
-
And Karl Moline should replace Jeanty as the regular artist on the series. He has actual talent.
-
They lost me when they suddenly made Buffy Bi. That made no sense and was shock for shock factors sake. Not needed. Angel's doing a better job in the comics much like it did on TV. Wesley is back as a ghost and all is right with the world.
Maybe Buffy will use the Slayer Axe on Fray as a dildo, cause that would be a surprise shock too wouldn't it?
WTF Whedon? -
come on guys, maybe some more news, or a podcast or something modern. you guys should join us in 2008
-
Cripes, it's like the Buffyverse is being written by Judd Winick.
-
Make that happen, Joss Whedon! :)
-
...then Buffy would have HIV by now. But she'd be "living with it". Ugh.
-
We knew this would happen a month and a half ago. Aint it old news indeed.
My suspricion is that this was just Herc promoting Buffy again, he does it every week. -
mark my words.
-
it is definitely news to me.
it is also cool. -
In the Mamma Mia talkback. Feel free to forward any kickback you get from that to me. Thanks.
-
Except Elektra is now an alien of some sorts I believe....
-
but when everyone found out at once it was fan-fuckin'-tastic. Absolutely hilarious scene. Wonderful job. Almost made me forget that her actions were completely out of character. I'm pretty sure people don't just "go bi."
-
you'd be surprised or maybe not but....many people, young teen girls especially are "going bi" a lot these days. now its not always necessarily full on, where it becomes their sexual preference to prefer both, but many experiment for a while, even years before moving on. now granted Buffy isnt a teenage girl anymore but its not that inconceivable that a straight woman would suddenly do thos sorta stuff, especially in this day and age. But anyway, Fray is back...cool...but so what, she goes back in time? or does Buffy go forward? hmmmm
-
judging by the flying cars, I'd say Buffy goes forward.
-
I'm glad we'll be seeing Melaka Fray again. Now, if only we could see Buffy vs. Illyria...
-
ive always considered spike to be bi.
whedon needs to make zander gay or angel gay or gay up wesleys ghost. and i dont mean gay like andrew flaming gay. -
Cmon Herc, this was out about a month ago. While I appreciate your constant Buffy support, at least stay ahead of the game, or at least up to date. I was hoping you were going to have info on who Twilight was.
-
and he's ask her if a comic felt any different than a show or something. And wasn't a slayer reading Fray a few issues back?
-
Unfortunately I stopped readng the comics midway through the Fath arc. Not due to quality or anyhing, just because I lived in the sticks and it was just getting to be too difficult to pick up comics frequently but this may get me back into the swing of things. Fray still remains one of my favorite comic miniseries of all time. Although the whole lesbian arc is still making me weary.
-
Was talking about this w/ a few friends yesterday (yes, me and my male friends talk about Buffy).I gotta say, I think her sleeping sit Satsu is pretty stupid. I mean in seven seasons Buffy has never been depicted as some one at all confused about her sexuality or even the type of girl that WOULD simply experiment. I also think that it flies in the face of the character they've been telling us we've got in Season 8. Add that to the fact that Willow is gay already...just seems kinda lazy. Meh.
-
...knew this months ago. I mean, I'm not one to knock AICN (alot) but sometimes it does seem like you guys are just checking other websites.
-
i would like to see that.
-
since it seems most men have no clue what they're doing "down there" , its not suprise women/girls are having other women/girls do it..least then they guarantee a good time.
-
For me, there would be no better Little Bad than to discover that the US government has contracted with Riley Finn and his new wife to infiltrate their camp and destroy them from within. Which, of course, leads into the Big Bad who is revealed to be... well, that would be telling. :)
-
See I think the Big Bad (Twilight) IS Riley Finn.
-
...are you saying Twilight is the Little Bad and we have yet to see the Big Bad?!
-
...HAH!!!
-
on the Buffy comics talkbacks. It's truly a sign of the impatient internet culture when people bitch because news like this is 'old.' Not everybody knew, and you know what, that's not even the point. The point is that you've been provided a talkback to discuss it. Or you can use it to make annoying comments about the site, or sly cracks about cunnilingus and bisexuality that really aren't as clever as you'd think. I agree the bi-scene was somewhat out of character, but that's kind of the point - she was so lonely and isolated that she would go there - she never had a girl so into her before(plus the whole 'true love' spell probably made her think) so she experimented. But as someone mentioned, the comic (like the show would have done) immediately defused that situation by revealing it to everyone immdediately and all together. Totally hilarious. Can't wait to see Xander and Willow's continued reaction. Oh, and I loved that tease with Twilight about to lift his mask at the end of the page and on the next, he's just scratching his neck. Psyche! Way to play with the expectations of the medium.
-
please.
-
Seriously, it's not one is it? People just like the word 'crossover'.
You can't really do a crossover with yourself, can you? -
I didn't mind the flames but I hate the gay Buffy. Not only are lines AGAIN regurated from the original series but it changes who Buffy is and I for one hate it.
People just don't wake up and decide they are gay and it makes no sense that Buffy would.
I'm not a homophobe or anything like that I just think its way too gimmicky and there is no need.
However Buffy vs Fray could be really cool. -
she was gay. If you actually read the comic, that's not what happened. Geez, why do people make such a big deal out of this?
-
99.9% of the time what they're really saying is "I'm very, very homophobic."
-
C'mon. Mike Mignola-drawn cover? You know you want it.
-
Did something happen to Zoolander? Is it a Zulu threat? Come on boy, you can do it...talk to us!
Did Zsa Zsa touch you??
Did the Zuchini crop get crushed by the Zamboni???
Oh if only you could communicate with complete sentences we could get through this TOGETHER!!
-
Still no John Adams coverage and yet this crap gets posted. Way to keep up the suckage you fucking hack.
-
this is a fanboy site for fanboys of genre television and movies, especially fantasy, horror and scifi. Buffy stuff kinda trumps John Adams in this category, doncha think? If not, I'm sure insulting the site moderators is the best way to voice your opinion. Because, you know, they OWE you talkback space.

Buffy had a really good reason to sleep with a girl
by david cloverfield
to sell comics. I don't have a problem with that. I can relate.
Hell, I'll sleep with lots of girls to sell comics. -
Fantastic, except for David Morse's fake nose. It's really, really distracting, and the only thing you can focus on in his scenes. Victor Garber would have made a better Washington.

Also, Fray's waist is impossibly thin, and why is Buffy wearing
by tonagan
-
That's the end of that sentence.
-
I hope this isn't what Joss meant a few months back when he said we haven't seen the last of Fray, I've been patiently hoping he'd return to that series in full form. Lost interest in Buffy and Angel well before their final seasons, and I could care less about another trip to these ever drying wells, but I dug dug dug Fray, and would love to see that simply get a "season two."
-
Typecasting wins!
-
You know a Lesbian Until Graduation. Except o 'course she's not actually in school....
-
Make that happen, Joss Whedon! :)
-
You know-- That show that's STILL ON THE AIR while Buffy was CANCELLED years ago?
Fuck Buffy, and fuck Whedon. Goddamn, I wish Coax covered Scifi TV shows that are on right now, instead of obsessing over a show for teenage girls that should by all rights be forgotten and ignored by now. -
Make that happen, Joss Whedon!
-
except for, you know, it wasn't. Anybody who makes that idiotic statement obviously never paid attention. I guarantee you 10 years from now, people will still be talking about Buffy. And NO ONE will be talking about Torchwood. I'm not saying it's a bad show (though I still haven't gotten to it yet), but it will never have the iconic quality and uniqueness that was Buffy.
-
was Buffy a good show? I dunno, maybe...never watched it. I do know that Carnivale was a GREAT show, and if I kept flogging it, years after it's over and done - like it's relevant or newsworthy, I'd deserve some of the shit being spoken of me, here. It wouldn't detract from Carnivale's greatness, but it would call in to question my competency when it comes to running a tv news site, when I choose to ceaselessly plug an inert franchise, at the expense of ongoing greatness like Dexter, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Shield. Will anyone be talking about Torchwood in 10 years? I wouldn't presume to say...but I do know there are many who'd enjoy discussing it here, and are forced to go elsewhere.
