    So Wesley WAS locked under the stairs, like the Dursleys!

    You can change. You can.
    I thought that came up in season 5.

    Alos, What the hell was that argument a few pages back? o_O
  • AHRAHR
    Last page, oh smart one.

    Only two pages :P

    Still, all I saw was discussion about how stakes worked or didn't work...or something, I TL;DR'ed like a motherfucker.
  • AHRAHR
    Madass Alex was complaining about what he saw as illogical methods and tactics used in Buffy and Angel.

    And the rest disagreed.

    Wait, staffs work in Buffy? (I haven't actually watched it yet) You don't even have to like, sharpen it or something to make a 100% wooden spear?

    Anyway, I'll reply to a few things that particularly bugged me now that I'm reading the discussion properly.
    The protagonists of Buffy and Angel don't really do much until there's a threat to react to. They kinda just wait around for something awful to happen and then solve the problem rather than using the data they have to come up with fast response templates for scenarios with common factors.
    They don't. Mstly because it'¡s been a general rule that the few times the team has been preemptive and attacked earlier end up with them losing, or with the enemies getting a tacitcal advantage over them (The Beast of Angel's Season 4 comes to mind)

    Patrolling and stuff isn't exactly the point. They don't create an infrastructure that allows them to respond to threats quickly and efficiently, nor do they develop combat jargon or comparable sign language or anything.

    They do, actually. AS the show goes along, in fact. By the end, and in the comics, the Scooby Gang is pretty much an almost militaristic squad led by Buffy and Xander. Sorta. It's complicated.

    Then you could have an effective, versatile weapon with pointy stake ends.

    Gunn did it. Didn't work.


    But with a broken staff, you can dual-wield stakes, hell yeah. And
    if you're separated from any kind of weapon, that's where the martial
    arts lessons can come in. Or a second concealed weapon.

    Angel and Wesley use a lot of contraptions to hide stakes/daggers/swords.

    Also, dual wielding is much mre harder than you think it is. And the Scoobies do learn to fight as they go along. AI's members, however, don't. Instead, they learn to bring their skils to the field (Fred's falmethrower comes to mind)

    And that's about all I could think of, really.

    AS I recall, if its wooden and hurts the heart, the vampire is dead. I'm rusty on my Buffyverse knowledge, though.

    Damn, when did WESLEY become BADASS?

    Hey, guys, guys, who'd win in a war between muggles and wizards?

    muggles.

    ^If the muggles had the MIB and rebel wizards on our side, then I'd agree.

    I have to say, I liked Alien Resurrection better than Alien 3.  Alien Resurrection actually made sense to me when taken on its own rather than part of a vast, multi - franchise - wide plot.

    Psssst. Cygs, watched five by five and watching sanctuary now :D

    I remember those episodes. ^_^


  • AHRAHR
    So, I find it amusing that in episode 20, the scenario Madass Alex put forth is exactly what happened.

    A bunch of homeless kids prepared, and armed to the teeth.

    Of course the Men in Black, who do you think that was suppose to be a reference to.

    Also, crossover idea.

    Men in Black / Tenchi Muyo.

  • AHRAHR
    Just finished season 1.

    GOD I missed Cordelia so much when watching Buffy. Good to have her back.

    Hatter: Cakman is of the same opinion about Giles.

    Giles is awesome.

    Tara had no personality. Her romance with Willow was cute but shallow. Deal with it.
  • AHRAHR
    Tara was fairly shallow, although I felt they did have a few pluses about her-- namely how she interacted with the characters outside of being Willow's GF.

    You finished season 1? Well, season 2 is quite the ride. Literally.

  • FrodoGoofballCoTVFrodoGoofballCoTV
    @Vorpy, yes,Men in Black.  I was thinking Men in Black / Harry Potter would be an interesting crossover, since both wizards and the MiB are hiding from the rest of the world.
