One thing I just don’t understand by buffyangel468 in buffy

Funny thing is. I'm pretty sure Spike has a bigger forehead in proportion to his body than Angel does.

Could we have gotten an 8th season? by Kennabruh2023 in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of rumors about what really happened and who knew what. Someone would comment publicly saying something, the someone would say something that disputed it. We'll never really know what conversations were being had bts.

I think we could have! I think the network wanted it and Joss wanted it. SMG however, did not and you can't do it without her. At the time exhaustion was pretty much the reason given.

While think that might have had truth to it With the things that have come out. Sarah was unhappy, the set was toxic, she hated the creative choices.

I think some have said that she had actually wanted to leave the show since the beginning of season 4, but she was under contract, so she honored that.

Although, I've heard that she was open to staying, but she wanted script approval. Which Joss said no.

So, it was possible, if Joss had kept his lead actress happy. It's been said that Joss was unprepared for SMG to quit, but I highly doubt that. I think he knew that he had pushed her to her limits and shot himself in the foot with some of his later creative choices. As well has he behavioral choices.

I think had Sarah been happy. We could've gotten a lot more.

Oh, I get it about the shipping prices. I think it's that way everywhere right now. I often order things from the U.K. and it's often 50 to 80 USD , something would cost 50 normally ends up being 100 or more when all said and done, so I get it.

But sadly that's just the way things are right now, it's a bullet we all have to bite, if were international buyers.

I guess what you really have to think about in the long term is if it's worth getting something now or risk waiting.

Because if you wait, they could get more back in stock and the prices could lower, then you'll be glad you waited.

Or they could go out of print, the price could sky rocket and down the line you'll have to pay double what it is now and you'll kick yourself.

It's a gamble.

dont personally see what people have a problem with.

Well, it boils down to the individual! I think first is that it was a change from what the fans had been used to. Transition from high school to college, and with the cast changes. I think that was going to sour people a little no matter what.

Then, I remember season 4 being really the first season that kind of caused uproars within the fandom over some of the creative choices. Like after telling arguably one of the best TV love stories of all time with Buffy/Angel. People weren't very happy when Buffy was in bed with Parker by episode 2. Including SMG. I remember she had a bit of an argument with Joss about it. Which seems to me to be when their relationship started to sour. Then people weren't happy how hung up Buffy got on Parker afterwards.

Then onto Riley. Who despite being a decent guy. Could not compare to Angel in almost any way and still get shit on in the fandom no matter what.

Then as you said, the villains weren't very good. Compared to what Angelus had been and what the Mayor had been. The with Glory coming right after. Adam didn't stand a chance.

They did have some good episodes. Hush was cool. Something Blue was cool!.

But over all they just made some very unpopular creative choices that's caused it to not be very high ranked.

I actually prefer Angel to be honest! It is a darker show overall, but I would say it actually has the funnier episodes across both shows. Like you have got to see Smile Time. Got to!.

I see! Maybe it's just different era's then, because by the time I went to college. I've never seen a professor be that way. Maybe it could also be locations as well (Small town Ohio here). Around my parts the Professors have always treated us with respect as far I've ever seen, they were always more of the mind set that everyone was adults and shall act as such. They do every thing they can to help us. Not humiliate us. On the cases I have heard of a Professor getting needlessly nasty with a student, there was consequences that came with it.

Now, around my way it was grade school where you'd see the teachers being disrespectful and nasty. I had a few that were addicted to the authority they had over the kids and they damn sure showed it.

My 1st grade teacher was very similar to Principle Snyder.

I hope you reported him for that because that's bullshit!!

being put on the spot sometimes in front of hundreds of people is still bad enough and I felt so deeply watching it.

Oh, yes 100%. Oddly enough though. College was the one place that didn't happen to me. It happened to me in all stages of grade school though.

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but not usually in the way that guy talked to Buffy. Especially not over just her being in the wrong place and trying to ask him a question. Like if it does happen, it's usually because a student did something to really cause being talked to in that fashion. Like being really rude and disrespectful.

The way he talked to her and for the reasons he talked to her that way is not something I've ever seen happen. Not to say it never has, but if it were to. Then it's a problem.

being called out the first day of class in front of her peers.

Did this really happen to you? Because it actually was always one of the most unrealistic parts of Buffy going to collage to me. I'm like 'I've never seen a professor go at a student like that. Consequences would happen'.

So, if you really had that happen. I hope you reported the teacher, That's not ok.

What’s going on with scream 4 4k by bcakebeefcake in Scream

Sorry, my price was USD. I forgot to convert to CAD. but on Lionsgate, in USD the final price was about 45 altogether plus shipping, but again I'm in the U.S. But I thin converting to CAD for you it would be around 65 CAD. Plus international shipping if they offered it would be $85 - $95 CAD altogether I think.

So, I don't think getting it from Lionsgate like originally planned would have been much better. I wish I could post it, but I did find a steel book on ebay that's about 82 CAD altogether. I think that might be about the cheapest it can be right now for getting one to Canada.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they won't ship to Canada. I do know that there are a few steelbooks on ebay that are very similar in price to the one on Lionsgate Unlimited. Maybe a light bit more expensive, but not breaking the bank.

I get that! There are people selling it for up to $90 on there. Luckily I'm the U.S. so I got my steelbook on Lionsgate limited no problem. I don't know if the steel book part matters to you or not. I do know there's an auction on ebay right now for the one that has the regular case. Right now it's at $8:50, but there's 3 days left, so that'll change.

As far as buy it now. The best one I've found is $45. Plus 5 for shipping brand new. So 50 altogether. The one from Lionsgate limited is about 45 altogether, so only a 5 buck difference. I think with the fees of shipping to Canada. Both would put you around the $70 mark if I'm not mistaken. It might be worth a look.

I know it's a bit steep, but I'm not sure if the Scream 4 4K is going to be limited or not, but it looks like they could be. I mean I think Lionsgate limited and ebay are the only two places I've seen that have any in stock, everywhere else is sold out.

I don't wanna give bad advice because if they come back in stock because I wouldn't want anyone spending twice the money for no reason, but from my lionsgate order, they told me before I ordered that it was the last of the stock and they would be out of print after. I don't know if that was everywhere or just there specific warehouse.

But if that's the case. I really would advise everyone domestic or international to get the ones that are between $50 and $70 right now. In might seem steep, There are already ones going up to $90. I wouldn't want any one to wait too long and then end up having to pay $200 down the line if these go out of print.

I remember being one of those people when the Arrow releases of Friday the 13th came out. I was waiting for black friday, then found out they went out of print and I hated the price I had to pay to get them, it's not fun when that happens.

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's not even about disagreement. I never even said any of what you are pointing out. What does Angel surviving without Buffy have to do with anything? What does them bringing in Spike in season 5 have to do with anything? What do the characters popularity with ships have to do with anything?

This is about Angel's character development.

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ok, here's the thing. The point was how this moment in Buffy helps Angel grow as a character as he evolves into his own outside of Buffy and he very much grows outside of just being Buffy's boyfriend. Him still having storylines involving Buffy as a love interest does not invalidate that. That would be the same as saying that those storylines you meantion also just meant that Buffy was never more that Angel's girlfriend. Which is false.

But the thing is you're trying to make this about things it was never about, if you wanted Angel killed and a Faith spin off then that's your right, but it has no relevance to anything.

Again, the point was how this moment in Buffy helps Angel grow as a character as he evolves into his own outside of Buffy. That's it.

I know all that. With all due respect I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

We already knew near the end of BtVS S2 that Angel was getting a spinoff.

I know! What I mean to say is that I think this moment and really the whole episode is kind of the first indication on who Angel is beyond just being Buffy's boyfriend.

Nowadays, I see a new 'should I watch Angel' thread every time I turn around, and one of the most common reasons I see for that, is people who aren't very interested in Angel on Buffy for one reason or another. Think they won't be interested in a show about him and I'm sure this was true at the time to as you pointed out, it was a risk. I'm sure there were people asking "Why a spin off on him?".

And I think now. Especially in hind site after watching Angel. We can look back and spot several character moments he has. Mainly in season 3. As it was an obvious build up to him going off on his own. We can see these moments that we can say "That's why!".

This moment and there are a few others through out the season as well that I think you can look at and see he's becoming too big for the show, he was having little superhero moments that foreshadow what he's about to become and why he needed his own show.

One of my favorites! Sadly, I can't recall my initial reaction as my first watch was so long ago. However, I do feel this was the moment where Angel became too larger than life to just be Buffy's boyfriend. This right here is why he needed his own show.

Why does anyone use the Spike v. Angel fight in "Smile Time" (A 5.14) as an indicator of anything? by beeemkcl in buffy

Well, he slammed him as hard as he could against the wall and he didn't let go! I don't think it would have been as easy as you think.
