Dear all,
Not to be a pain, but could we see the first vampire Willow
episode of Buffy as well as Futurama?

Luke - if it's live on the TV this week (don't follow so can't say) why can't
you video it ?
Besides I think there's an issue about TV reception (IE NONE !) in the room used
for video nights....

And have you just commited a bit of a large UhUh on the spoilers front ?
(especially if it isn't on TV and it's a Sky ep)

Philip - who still wants to know what happened to the first of the new Futurama
series that was due last week on Sky.

Much as it pains me to agree with Phillip; yes, the vampire Willow
episodes are a part of season three (which means Sky only so far).
Put another way, the Beeb are still dealing with season 2 at the
moment, and in their infinite wisdom have decided to show snooker
this week anyway.

We thank the ambassador of Bob to the Northern Territories for his support.

Single l btw - Jon can be excused but Bob should know better by now

I'm not sure Buffy S3 is something you can show just one ep of. I have only
watched 4 eps of Buffy right the way through, but I've caught the hint (which
would be supported by more ardant fans like Matt, Chris or Sean (Are you wearing
your "I am 27 badge")) that the episodes are rather plot interlinked. So
showing an odd ep (early) would lead to a general bewilderment as to the current
state of play and possibly reveal stuff you don't want to know yet ....

They're not rahter plot interlinked, they're totally plot interlinked and
make very little sense if you don't watch them in some sort of
order. Its not that each one moves the plot on in leaps and bounds,
more that they all offer little glimpses of the big picture that leave
you wanting more (rahter like B5 in its glory days....).

And can someone explain the attraction of the vampire Willow eps
WITHOUT using the words : leather, tight OR incoherent and
slightly dodgy grunts?

On an intellectual level the atteaction is what they tell us about the
way the relationships between the characters are changing
(anyone who's seen some of S4 will know what I'm talking about).
More practically, the second one has some great comedy
moments.

Willow:".... and I think I might be slightly gay."
Buffy:"Don't worry, we all know that the personality of a vampire
has nothing to do with the person they were."
Angel:"Well...."

My suggestion is that we book MLT from Midday to midnight
on a Saturday and Sunday and show the whole 3rd season in 2 sittings.

They are funny, they have Willow wearing rather a rather
constricting/revealing
dress made out of dead cow skin. She's really rather nice to look at. :-)

Buffy stares at him
Angel: nothing

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
