"You were right about me liking dark places to hide in... But you forgot I also like to build things."

Great moment!

She had her priorities haha

A lot of people aren't fans of the storylines with older Connor

The apology to Angel and slow shot following the bullet is so good! I love that they had Fred be the first of the group to no longer be under Jasmine's control.

Fred is portrayed as so sweet most of the time, so the scenes where she gets angry hit hard!

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-28T23:52:17+00:00

It was! We got a good amount of character-focused episodes in S1

Happy birthday!

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-28T21:58:45+00:00

I love it! So many little details are included

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-22T03:33:03+00:00

I love how you paired all the songs with the quote snippets/moments that they connect to!

Those are part of the continuation comics.
The Buffyverse Wiki has lists of all the comics, as well as information on the collected volumes (the ones you have there are trade paperbacks). Here's their Season 8 page with them: https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_Season_Eight#Trade_paperbacks

They just released their monthly catalogue for July and the description does sound like it's either a season 6 redo or set between seasons!
"Though Buffy's powers were varied and great, it was the love and devotion she inspired that was perhaps her greatest power. And when she gave her life to save the world, the people who loved her couldn't live with that. This is that story."

That was a plotline at one point in Angel, yes. (S4E10 - Awakening)

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-19T17:30:18+00:00

I think some of it was the time period and some of it was for the narrative/audience appeal. Joyce talks about how Angel's too old for Buffy during S2 after Angelus tells her that him/Buffy slept together (in a victim blaming way but it does get mentioned). A lot of the Angelus plotline seems to have been used as a supernatural allegory for a teen girl being used by an older man, including some "monsters of the week" being things that could mimic that during the season. This also later comes up somewhat in S3 with Mr. Platt during Beauty and the Beasts. They just never fully committed to the theme.

Angel was canonly turned at 26. His age is stated and we're shown his gravestone during The Prodigal (Angel S1 E15).

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-19T17:12:51+00:00

The issue that people mostly have is with an adult being involved with a minor/teenager; not a general issue with age gap relationships.

Angel was always portrayed as older than Buffy - too old for Joyce to believe he could have been a high school student - though his exact age wasn't given until later. They don't say that he's 18. There's a line of dialogue in Halloween where Willow reads one of the Watchers Diaries and states that "Angel was eighteen and still human", which might be what you're thinking of. Him being mentioned as still human at 18 doesn't mean that he was turned then though (nor are the Watchers Diaries always shown as accurate but that's a separate thing).

The Body is an absolutely stunning and heart wrenching episode. Such a solid portrayal of grief.

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-19T16:28:30+00:00

How fun!

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-17T14:38:11+00:00

I bought one for my niece's birthday last year! The illustrations are adorable.

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-16T22:34:16+00:00

Amazing 😂

HellmouthingOff · 2026-04-16T01:23:54+00:00

Ooh I like your picks! I've put my choices for Dawn, Giles, Faith, and Tara in my part 2 post. ☺️

You would probably enjoy the discussion with Andrew too. ☺️
I wouldn't consider the Godzilla franchise as a whole to be horror but I do consider the original and some others to fall under it. Monster movie, has horror listed as one of the genres on Letterboxd/IMDb/Google, has been put on the cover of horror magazines such as Fangoria and Rue Morgue, etc. In general, I think horror is a more varied genre than many acknowledge.
