  GEEZ why couldn’t this stuff have been on the one that was released last year?

  I mean I for one don’t think it’s really fair that the same thing should be released a year after with an extra disk.

  Does anyone else think that the picture makes it look like Angel and Spike are embracing/a couple? LOL Hot...

  Why did they use a promotional picture of David Boreanaz from Angel?

  “Why did they use a promotional picture of David Boreanaz from Angel?”

  Maybe his promotional pictures from Buffy weren’t that great a quality as the ones from Angel or something.

  I agree with the first poster about why this stuff couldn’t have been on the s.7 box set but also why have a picture of Angel on a DVD box set at all. He’s a main character for less than half of the seven seasons. Why not have a piccie of Buffy on her own or with the core Scooby gang who ARE main characters for most of the seven seasons (in Willow and Xander’s cases ALL of them and in Giles’s five of them). It’s that fact they’ve put Buffy’s two vampy exes on mean she is patronisingly defined in terms of her relationship with the boys. Also as a Spuffy I resent the fact Angel is bigger than Spike when Spike is actually a main character for a lot longer than Angel. Grrr

  No, the U.S. edition will remain full screen for all seven seasons. Why they can’t release the widescreen versions here is beyond me...they gave us Angel, why not Buffy???

  How about all of the regulars on the box set? Ones like Oz, Riley, Anya, and Cordy that were a huge part of the show and didn’t stick around the whole time.

  I stil resent that Spike got a disc in S3 but Giles and Oz didn’t. That’s marketing for ya.

  Why would any of us buy this box set anyway? Sure, I’d like the extras, but I have every season but the awful Season 7, and there is no way I can or would want to shell out that kind of money just for the extras disc. I’d sooner buy a friend a copy of Firefly or Buffy’s 3rd Season.

  By putting Angel and Spike on the cover with Buffy, this dvd set is openly catering to the fans who believe the show is all about Buffy and her boyfriends (AKA shippers). This strategy works against the show by putting out the air of the show being another WB teen drama. The show is so much more than that.

  Agree with your assessment of the marketing defining Buffy in terms of the boys wrongly. Also agree with wrongness of Spike in s.3 DVD - dates back to the videos that one - and I agree Oz would have been better. I like season seven actually (although I accept that me and my husband may be in a minority of two here) and I have all Buffy seasons separately bought on DVD and so won’t be buying this anyway but I just like to make a point here. As to the Angel shipper - yes have Angel on the individual s.1-3 DVDs within but not on the whole series box set it’s just wrong - Buffy doesn’t appear on the front of the Angel series box sets quite rightly - the scooby gang should be there - they are the core of the series - the four of them - Manus (Buffy), Sophisus (Giles), Animus (Xander) and Spritus (Willow) - ditch the boyfriends none of them are around the whole time anyway.

  Yes I agree with what you’ve said about Spike on season three stuff. It dates back him and Dru being on the spine of one of the vids for season three and it’s not even the one which contains the sole episode he actually appears in. Oz should be there too. I also argee with you in that sticking the vampy boys on the box set for the entire series defines Buffy in terms of the boys solely and that’s wrong. It’s not a question of what I think of Angel - it’s a question of what represents the story. It was perfectly ok for the depiction of Buffy and Angel (with Spike and Dru in the background) for season two because so much of that season was about that relationship but the defining relationship of the entire series is between Buffy and her friends. That’s the one that lasts consistantly over the course of the seven years depicted - and that is what should be represented on the front of box for the entire series. Ok minor quibble but I still think valid.

  BTW - gotta say disagree with the opinion that the last season sucked. Ok arguements on this got done to death on the "SMG made negative comments about season six" response thread but it seems to have become the done thing to deride one or more of the last two seasons sometimes without the honest qualifier that they only suck in your opinion. As John Lennon once sang "it’s all wrong, that is I think I disagree". I have all seven seasons on DVD already separately but I would give the entire box set to a friend as I don’t think any of the seasons are a dead loss, even the ones such as the first one and four (which ironically contains one of my favourite episodes) which I consider to the weakest. Even at its worst BtvS usually managed to be better than most things on tv we should remember that.

  I’m afraid it seems to be that some folks hate the last season, the two seasons or the penultimate season so much that they feel the need to point this out at every opportunity. I always feel like doing a happy dance when I find someone else on line who actually liked season seven which I thought was great personally (although not as good as season three).
