Since I ordered the Being Human set yesterday... maybe I will wait for it to arrive.

I think I know the one being referred to here... that one about did me in when I first saw it.

I was talking about the Intervention episode (the one with the robot) that was such a relief after the previous two (The Body and Forever) who were so sad. In fact there are many strong episodes in the fifth season wich was a nice surprise as I didn't really like the season four.

The musical episode in the next one is great and fun to watch, but I don't think Pete would agree on this. It's probably the only episode he never watch...

The Body is the one that did me in. 

There are a lot of good, strong episodes in Buffy.  I love the musical episode.  I even have the soundtrack.

I didn't even know there was one, thanks Marie.

And because you told me about the soundtrack my three favorites songs in the show.




BTW good thing you didn't skip the episode Pete as something important is mentionned in the Sarah Michelle Gellar song for the first time...

She finally told her friends that they brought her back from heaven and not hell

Yeah... I know... they did have a good piece of important info in that episode.

BTW I just end the season 6 and I don't get why so much fans don't love it... Sure it's darker and the main vilain are annoying (in fact I don't think they are as the real one appear at the end of the season and what a fricking powerfull "bad guy" that is) but the season is as good as any of the precedent one in my book (in fact I think I think it's the best one after the third one).

Strangely I can understand what the real bad guy feel and why he react that way as I would have the same reaction (minus the superpower evidently).

BTW that was cruel to kill Tara just when the life was finally going in the good way for her and Willow... She was such a sweet and innocent girl ready to help everyone without asking anything

Hope the last one will be as good... but the cliffhanger sure got me confused.

I agree with you... think the 6th season was good... maybe not a favorite since the trio was annoying.  But definitely a good strong season. I also agree with what you put in the spoiler.

The final season... while different.. I still enjoyed a lot as well. Looking forward to hear what you think of it though Jimmy! 

[Dragonfire]

I remember liking the sixth season when I watched it.  There were a lot of things going on...including Buffy finally dealing with what had happened when her friends brought her back...sand they had to face it too.

8 agree with your spoiler too.  That sucked.  But that is what Whedon does...creates great characters and then does stuff that ticks us off.

My Thoughts:
Let me start off by saying this is the US version... and I never seen the UK version to compare the two. With that said... I can say I enjoyed this show quite a bit. I was originally only going to watch the 2 part pilot episode for this thread... but I just couldn't stop watching till I finished the disc. I like the characters... and I like where the storyline is going. After seeing the US version my curiosity about the UK version has been peaked even more. Anyway... I would recommend this one.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

C's
Here is what I have to choose from for the letter "C"...

                       

13 series to choose from... and I have absolutely no idea what I may watch yet this time.

[Jimmy]

I'm kind of surprise that you don't have Charlie's Angels...

Not that I'm better as I don't have it too

[samuelrichardscott]

I'd like to see you do Cleopatra 2525. I own the first UK set but it has been probably ten years since I watched it so wouldn;t mind a refresher review!

I am thinking about buying the set. Never seen the series before (sadly the disc where the first episode would have been on was missing in my "Sliders: Season 3" set). So I wouldn't mind a few thoughts on it.

I been considering that series for years... just never got around to getting it.

I could probably watch that one here soon.

I haven't been able to put the time needed to this thread... been pretty busy lately. But I am watching an episode of Cleopatra 2525 now. Not sure how far I will get on this this month... but not giving up yet.
