The End of It All
May. 26th, 2001 11:29 pmWhat? You thought this was some depressing entry? *laughs* Nopers. Well, considering my recent trend... ah, well.
This is about the recent barrage of Season/Series finales that I've seen on TV. So warning, if you don't like listening to straight out rants of TV shows and predictions... then leave now. Ok.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Okay, peeps, SERIES finale. No, that doesn't mean it's all over. I mean, Joss Whedon can't possibly do a movie sequel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) w/o Buffy. But that's another story-- it won't be out till late 2002. Anywho, it's been transferred to UPN, which is a subsidiary station of FOX-- yes FOX owns Buffy, and they wanted too much money from the WB to keep it running.
The deal is this: Now, UPN owns Buffy and Roswell, and they will pick up where they left off. So Season 7 of BtVS will continue on UPN. Capice? It will be in its regular timeslot (thank god)-- Tuesdays, 8/7 Central.
My opinion on the whole Buffy death thing? *whistles* Well, if I'd had my way, I wouldn't have shown Buffy's body, which would have meant there was a shred of chance that she survived the whole dimensional closing ordeal, and simply got stuck in another world. Heh, maybe the one Cordelia and the LA gang just got out of?
But no, Joss isn't thinking that way. So Buffy's dead. No more blood. Question: who gets the Slayer powers this time? Maybe Faith gets them all now. After all, Faith (who is still in jail, mind you) only got activated after Kendra died-- Kendra, btw, was activated after Buffy died for a split second. But now, Buffy is dead-dead. Eek. So who gets the rest of her powers?
Any way you slice it, they can't call it Buffy without Buffy... so she'll be back. Duh.
Question #2: Did Giles actually kill Ben/Glory? Even if he didn't succeed in suffocating Ben (jerk that he was by the end of the series), then it's plausible Ben (Glory's human form, remember?) died after the whole dimensional rip thing, and all the buildings were falling apart. There was a hint as to what Giles was going to do when Tara (still crazy) called him a killer. He knew it too, I think.
Wonder when the rest of the Scooby gang will find out? ^^. Also, so Tara's got her brain back, but what about the rest of the mental escapees? They did manage to escape the hospital, remember?
Angel
I highly doubt we've seen the last of demon Angel. He'll find a way to manifest himself in LA. But in the long run, Angel remains on the WB, at least for the next two years. If the WB's ratings for Angel drop, then UPN gets to pick it up until it hits Season 5-- or longer, if it does well.
So, Willow (don't kill the messenger) is in LA, with the bad, bad, bad news that Buffy is... dead.
Okay, so do any of the LA gang know about Dawn and the whole key thing? After all, when Dawn was created, everyone (except the looneys) knew who she was-- or at least, who she was pretending to be. She's Dawn Summers (ironic, now that you think about it), sister of Buffy, daughter of Joyce. Hm. In any case, it seems as Willow's alone in LA (would be cool if Spike tagged along). Gunn is probably going to stick behind in LA to take care of things, while Wesley, Cordy (and obviously) Angel are going to LA for the funeral (or to kick some demon ass... after all, Sunnydale is now 99% hell). OH YES! If anyone saw Angel's finale for the season, did you see his face when he said "It's Buffy." Gee, a whole lot you can see in his face. Might I add that Buffy and Angel still (or at least Angel does, considering he's the one who's alive... so to speak) love each other. They did show feelings for each other after Joyce's funeral. -_- so sad how depressing events bring about such romantic moments.
Yeah so... lots of Buffy+Angel X-overs next season. In any case, Angel will be the first to air, in its new timeslot, Mondays at 8 or 9. I forget which. ^^;
Oooh, can't wait!
Star Trek
Ah, they managed to wrap up 5 years of Voyager into one nifty two-hour episode. It confused the heck out of me. SEVEN AND CHAKOTAY!? BLECH!! Excuse me while I rip the writer's brains out! It was too sudden, for my tastes, considering Chakotay didn't even know about Seven's little fantasy in "Human Error". And in "Natural Law", they were way too focused on the inhabitants of the planet than each other! Eesh.
Okay, I've pretty much figured out the whole Admiral Janeway thing. She can still exist, at least enough to go back in time (again and again) to change the past and get the crew home... because Janeway (the Captain) still knows what will happen, and unless she goes back in time (pretending to be the Admiral) then the past will keep repeating itself. Or something to that effect.
The Borg queen was right: all of Admiral Janeway's choices will be undone if she ceases to exist. But, because the Voyager crew (at least Seven and Janeway) knows about her and her misadventures/inventions, and so forth, then Captain Janeway can still successfully go back in time to prevent her younger self from repeating the same mistake... etc. As far as I can tell, the Borg are kaput.
Ah, that's it. We'll all have to wait until September to see anything new. Ideas, please, if you think you know what's going to happen! Leave a note! Write a rant! ^^
One to beam out! Ja---
