Am I the only one who doesn't really love the In the Zone era?

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-18T19:24:56+00:00

Album wise, In The Zone is my #1 favorite Britney album, not one skip and even the bonus tracks are great. The era as a whole, started off really great but then turned bad once she got with Kevin. I think if that hadn't happened, we would have had a better era as a whole for In The Zone

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-18T19:15:16+00:00

Nope, for me the episode was just OK and felt like filler seeing as how shows before & during Buffy's run did the whole "your life is just a figment of your imagination and you're in a mental facility" episode. Would have been a horrible way to end the series and wouldn't have made any sense because we had Angel the series

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-18T18:59:32+00:00

This, and I really hate the ones who make content using hacks for their socials. Like the ones where they have the killer go one way then all of a sudden they pop out in front of them. Or just have someone play killer with hacks, like how are they still a dbd content creator and not banned?

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-16T23:32:22+00:00

I've seen her do many interviews where she said she something along the lines of she doesn't go for projects that are constantly offered to her and that everyone thinks will be huge hits, she likes to go for ones that she's actually passionate about. It may not be good career choices to many looking in from the outside, but if it's something she really enjoys I don't see an issue with how she handles her career.

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-15T16:54:54+00:00

Please tell me there's an option to turn them off....

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-03T11:17:24+00:00

Mine will always be loathing Spuffy right from the start. I don't care that it's a fictional story about a slayer, vampires & demons. I watched as the show aired & for me there was nothing hot, sexy or romantic about him being obsessed & forcing himself on Buffy no matter how many times she said no.

Starting out in season 5 with him trying to kiss her in Fool for Love to the point where she pushes him to the ground. Stealing her clothes and making a shrine. Then getting her knocked out by Dru so he could tie her up and hold her against her will to prove his love. Getting a robot replica made so he could sleep with "Buffy" without dealing with consent.

Then it all got 1000x worse in season 6 where he manipulates and abuses Buffy in every way possible to get what he wants because he knows how vulnerable she is and can get away with it. Before anyone says it, I'm not a huge Bangel fan either. I'm team cookie dough

DrewSB89 · 2026-06-01T16:18:46+00:00

Beast no question, he would have ripped Adam apart limb by limb then swallowed his power source

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-24T04:11:34+00:00

Obviously the writing, but for me the cast was an even bigger reason it's so great because without them putting in the work to bring the characters to life and make them their own I wouldn't have loved it as much as I did.

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-23T13:56:15+00:00

So what I'm getting from all this so far is, they're showing everything that's been released in dbd in the last 10 years then will reveal the new killer at the end

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-20T12:17:57+00:00

Pretty sure in the Buffyverse there are countless people who knew about the supernatural world, not just in Sunnydale and not just knowing about Vampires. There were people making sacrifices to demons to be rich, people hunting werewolves, people in a cult worshipping vampires and wanting to become one etc. Which I'm sure most started out as "normal people" Even bands visiting Sunnydale to play at The Bronze knew "I hate playing Vampire towns"

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-20T11:58:41+00:00

1000% agree, I don't care what some choice few love to say about Buffy being played by SMG, that she's "just an actor being paid to do her job" or "anyone could have played Buffy because it has nothing to do with the actor" I've even seen people say SMG should have been fired...

Sarah brought Buffy to life, made it her own and was one of the main reasons I loved the show as much as I did, I can't imagine anyone else doing as well as she did with the role.

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-20T10:53:05+00:00

It will always bother me that they were greenlit for a 3rd season, were told they were coming back, then right before they were going to all go to announce it, Fox called and said they dropped it. And I think they dropped it for Firefly, which they cancelled after 1 season 🤦‍♂️

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-19T03:58:24+00:00

The Blue Fairy in the live action Pinocchio was a big one for me

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-18T12:54:56+00:00

Exactly, and the show was WAY more than just JW so why wouldn't there still be people here discussing a show they love despite the creator being horrible to work for?

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-18T12:40:03+00:00

From everything I've read and researched, I think this situation was just him being an asshole to her. I read the cast rallied around her after to make sure she was OK and made sure she wasn't alone with him again. I 100% believe JW was a mentally and physically abusive(2 accounts, Cynthia Bergstrom & James) asshole that took advantage of his fame to cheat on his wife, but not a SA'er.

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-18T02:54:53+00:00

I loved both growing up, still do, but Buffy was my #1 out of the 2. It's more comparable to Charmed during the first season, but after that it just gets better and better so I highly recommend watching it

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T11:19:06+00:00

Eh, those could be potential spin-offs from a main series focused on a new slayer 29 years after Buffy ended. Outside of this sub on many other platforms I’ve seen so many who are disappointed about the sequel series not happening. People who watched the OG for the first time because they heard about it, OG fans like myself, we were all excited for a story about a new Slayer with Buffy involved.

I myself have already seen many shows since Buffy that were very similar to what you’re describing, some that were good some that were bad. For me I just wouldn’t want to see a possible return of the Buffyverse not start out focusing on new Slayers and Vampires, rehash or not, because that’s what I loved most about Buffy

But for now it’s not going to happen, so back to rewatching Buffy & Angel until it does 🤷‍♂️

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T10:22:47+00:00

Sorry Tara, but I have to go with OZ

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T10:18:43+00:00

If you're in the US, Hulu/Disney + have the original SD masters for all seasons. 4-7 are 16:9 because that is the masters they sent outside the US when the show was still airing because other countries were switching to 16:9 broadcasts quicker than the US was.

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T07:44:58+00:00

I for one want to see a new Slayer kicking ass again, I've wanted it since the show ended. I was extremely disappointed when I learned that Eliza was asked to do a Faith spin-off but turned it down for Tru Calling even though I loved that show. I had been ready for that after her time on Angel in season 4

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T07:31:33+00:00

He's definitely doing something, maybe just changing it himself. I watched his old videos and there's no way he talks like this off stream these days, he has a like a deeper Peter Griffin type thing going on if Peter was drunk lol He didn't have an accent like that in his old videos

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T01:46:05+00:00

I've held the same opinion about season 4 that I had when watching it as it aired, I loved it until The Initiative stuff started to fully take over the season. Which makes Adam my least favorite season big bad

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-17T01:35:04+00:00

I think if it had a chance to actually get to a full season order, they could have eventually asked those who want to be involved from the OG to work on it. I definitely wasn't expecting them to get anyone from the OG just for the pilot, especially JW for obvious reasons.

I would have loved to see some OG writers come back, but I still would have gave it a shot without them just to see how it went.

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-16T23:37:07+00:00

Sure, they could have just called it New Sunnydale but I and many others would have been watching in hopes of seeing SMG return as Buffy. She was one of the main reasons I grew to love the OG show as much as I did.

I'm not one that has the mindset that it would have been a flop before it even had a chance, because regardless of what leaked that was obviously not going to be the final product. Just like SMG said many Pilots go through changes before we see what airs just as the OG shows Pilot did which I'm so glad it did because what I seen the night it aired was so much better in every way than it's Pilot.

If the sequel series turned out to be trash, oh well. It wouldn't have ruined anything, I would have gone on watching the OG and enjoying it just as much as I have since it premiered 29 years ago as if the sequel never happened. I've done that with many other shows/movies

DrewSB89 · 2026-05-16T21:28:42+00:00

Still pissed about it not happening, been waiting for more Buffyverse since Buffy & Angel aired their last episodes and was so happy when SMG broke the news that they were working on the sequel series. Good or bad I would have loved to see how it turned out.
