Alright, I kicked off season five of Buffy last night.

PLEASE tell me there is some bizzaro answer to why suddenly Buffy is living back at home AND she suddenly has a sister who appears to be about 12 years old?!?!?  weirdface.gif

You know, I'm always defending TV against guys like JD who belittle it as nothing but crap.

I beleive TV is art, that the men & women who devote their lives to creating a series are creating art that is every bit as valuable and worthwhile as those who produce movies, plays or any other performance art.

But when a writing group or a producer pull this kind of crap it pretty much makes that argument sound ridiculous!

Please let me know if I'm wrong, but I recall absolutely NO mention of Buffy having a sister for the first four years.  But suddenly lil' sis' is such a major drag on Buffy.  EVERYONE seems to know her (Zander, Willow, etc.).

It reeks of a writing staff that ran out of ideas so they decided to take the lazy  route and just pretend there was another character there the whole time.

TELL ME that it turns out the first few episodes of season five are an alternate reality, or a dream, OR SOMETHING.

??!?!?!?!?!??!

lol. Ok.

I was starting to worry Josh Whedon was just a hack. But if there's actually logic behind it somewhere then I feel a little better.

My all-time favorite show was Family Ties. But it really ticked me off how they had Andrew go from newborn to 6 year old in one off-season!

This was starting to remind me of that. no.gif

Cool!

I'm pretty religious about it. One episode per night. So I should get there soon.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest today smile.gif

That's hilarious Riggs! That is exactly the reaction I had...wondering what the heck was going on! I need to pick up the DVDs, I really miss that show.

Well I'm just happy to know I'm not alone.

I was feeling insulted, like they thought I would just accept the fact that they never explained any of this.

Now that I know it's "part of the plan" I feel a little better smile.gif

G-Gal,

Too bad you missed that Amazon sale. What a deal! All seven seasons for 99. That was what finally got me to buy them. At that price I figured even if I wasn't crazy about it, it's still a 144 hours of entertainment and it would have good resale value.

I bet if I sold it I'd get all my money back and maybe even a little more.
