I don't think it's coming through the way it should. Mine looks a little like a negative. Was that what you wanted? It looks a little washed out. Keep tinkering.

Somebody email me what it was. I'm down with an awful cold and fell asleep before the end of Buffy (Nyquil will do that to ya.)
What did the promo show?

Vlad, I really like the picture -- I think it's really cool, especially with the way you have it embossed. If folks are having trouble with download times, though, you could lower the reslution down as low as 80 dpi (standard resolution on most monitors) and few would see the difference, provided they weren't looking to print it.

//but still, as Willow once said about staking Spike "it's oookey. We know him."//
I'll go ya one further Spring, it would be like Willow's reaction to her vampire self.
BUFFY: (uncertainly) I'm not sure about releasing this thing into the wild, Will. It is a demon.
WILLOW: I just can't kill her.
BUFFY: (regretfully) No. Me, neither.
WILLOW: (hesitantly) I mean, I know she's not me. We have a big nothing in common, but... still.
BUFFY: There but for the grace of getting bit.

Sue, I don't know if you are nuts, but I know you are not alone. About once a day now, this black wave just rushes over me. I'm talking achy breaky heart, there's no sunshine when you're gone, all my troubles seemed so far away, goodnight sweet girl grief. Going to this convention this weekend now almost makes it worse - its going to be a huge mournfest, I know it. Major sobbing going on. And you guys are really the only ones I can mourn with. I'm doing the stuff, smiling and going on but underneath I'm just so SAD.

Nan, I've tried again now. I did use your scoopme profile email both times. If you don't get it soon, would you email me? The secret page email is correct. Thanks!

Ladies, you are not alone. Yes, it's just a TV show, but for some of us, it's joy beyond compare.
It's true that I really have little life that doesn't revolve around one hour every Tuesday night and one hour every Wednesday night. And very soon, that will be cut in half, not to mention that there's also concerns about the other half of my weekly joyfest -- will it return, will they change it significantly (and spoil it in the process), etc.
Since my divorce, I've had a really hard time trying to get a life on my own going, so I've spent a lot of time in front of the TV the past several years. It was depressing, to say the least. I mean, I've had favorite shows -- Star Trek (especially DS9), Highlander, a few comedies here and there, but nothing to really get excited over. And then, Angel, which helped me to discover Buffy. Joy of joys. And beyond that, this quirky group of people who also call themselves BtVS fans. It's been a real treat. And now, it's all at risk. Ok, the fan-groupie part isn't, but the rest is at risk. I already know I'll be in deep mourning. All over a silly TV show about a girl who kills monsters in her spare time. Maybe after Buffy goes off the air and I pull myself together, I can get a life started, and maybe actually convince a person of the female persuasion to have dinner with me on occassion. I do know this, she'll have to know what a "Hellmouth" is and light up when she hears someone say the word.

ROB - What do you mean by "last 3 1/2 episodes"? Aren't we getting 4 full episodes? Please say it's not so!!
And SUE - You are not nuts. It is really sad. I know we are going to have our guts wrenched out one way or another with the developments in this finale, and I know I am going to cry buckets with each and every injury, death, or lesser loss.
I fell in love with the show after I saw "The Body," - it was the best portrayal of the effects of shocking, sudden loss I had ever seen.
Then, Buffy said something to Giles in the finale of Season 6, about how long it took for her, after she was wrenched out of Heaven, to feel like everything around her was real. I cried so hard at that; at that whole Season. Because I had been there - after a sudden trauma, I spent . . . maybe a year or so, feeling like the world that I was being forced to live in just couldn't be real. And I'd never seen it all better portrayed than it was on Buffy Season 6.
Oh God yes, I am going to miss this show. But I am taking comfort in the fact that the off and on screen talents that produced it still exist, and I hope they manage to produce something new for us.

You were talking about crying, Spring. I can't even listen to the music from the final scene in The Gift without turning into a whimpering pile of mush. I'd even seen Bargaining before I saw The Gift, and so I completely knew Buffy comes back, but that speech she makes to Dawn right before she plumets. God, I'm getting misty eyed just writing this.
Please Joss, announce to the world it's all just been a big joke and Sarah signed on for another 20 years to play Buffy. We just aren't ready yet.

Spring, you said 'Oh God yes, I am going to miss this show. But I am taking comfort in the fact that the off and on screen talents that produced it still exist, and I hope they manage to produce something new for us. ' Spring, that's so mature. I'm nowhere near that yet. Still got the falling down kicking and screaming stuff going on. "No, no, NO! Don't WANT new! Want SPIKE, Willow, Buffy, Xander, Giles! Waaaaa!"

(Falling Down Kicking and Screaming) My last post reminded me of yet another story in Joss' biography. He was talking about the period right after he decided to make Once More With Feeling, and how the different members of the cast reacted. He said he called each one to his office to get their singing ranges, and when Alyson came in she just fell down on the floor and kicked and begged not to have to sing. He said ' Actually, it was just adorable.' Now we know who wrote that Spike to Harmony line I think... Oh, and Sarah refused to come in at all...

//when Alyson came in she just fell down on the floor and kicked and begged not to have to sing// The only line she sang in the whole episode was "I think this line's mostly filler" from Walk Through The Fire. The girl is a phenominal actress -- who else could play Vamp Willow and Fuzzy Sweater Willow in the same ep and make them both so believable? I can forgive her the lack of singing ability. She doesn't have to sing for me, just bark, purr, baa ... okay, I'm back now. That Sarah refused, does that say something about her? It shouldn't be like she was afraid she couldn't hack it, she did pretty good. She's no Anthony Stewart Head or Amber Benson (their duet on the reprise of Under Your Spell is just haunting), but Sarah held her own, most definitely. James did a decent job too, although I just wasn't that crazy about his song. The pacing seemed off for a good rock aria. I thought it was Joss' only dud.

I got a response from my friend Jessica Kiper who worked on Angel for a bit. Unfortunately she dodged my question, saying she really didn't spend enough time on set, but she is hoping they'll be expanding her character as they use Gwen Raiden more and more, so maybe she'll have some dirt for us after future visits to the ME sets.

You dissin' "Rest in Peace", man? Doncha go and be doin' that. My man James sung his heart out in that, bro. It totally rocked! I have it on my Winamp and listen to it con-stant-leee! It's like, my life man; he's singin' 'bout my life. So doncha go be saying trash about my man James, nor his singin'. *chuckling* Vlad And yes, I really do like the song AND James performance of it.
