Buffy in the Top 10 suckers for vampires

Webmaster — 2009-11-21T16:33:38Z

1.Buffy The Vampire Slayer : Buffy

The first sucker to fall for a vampire is avenger of the un-dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Joss Whedon's ass-kicking sci-fi show saw everyone's favourite heroine sucking face, with the tall, dark and brooding vampire Angel (David Boreanaz). Battling a variety of demons, including their own, Buffy and Angel provided audiences with pure angst-ridden TV gold week after week. However, Whedon eventually parted this doomed pair, sending Angel flying off to L.A. for his own TV series. But the romance didn't end there - several cross-overs were put into play to keep fans entertained, before the Buffy and Angel angst factor died out and the slayer eventually started necking with bad-boy vamp Spike (James Marsters).

Spike in STVs Top 12 Onscreen Vampires

The top 12 onscreen vampires ?

Fans of Twilight : New Moon star Robert Pattinson may claim Edward Cullen's the best ever onscreen vampire - but he has plenty of other blood-suckers to contend with. Well, at least a dozen, anyway.

Spike (and Angel) from Buffy - James Marsters manages to top Kiefer by having the peroxide hair and a British accent, making him the stuff of several million Buffy fans' dreams. If you don't believe me just do a YouTube search for Spike, then try not to vomit to all the homemade clip compilations set to the worst power ballads ever inflicted on our poor world. But on another note : Spike or Angel ? Unfortunately I just can't think of the latter without remembering that Dido video David Boreanaz was in...

"Buffy, Ballads, and Bad Guys Who Sing : Music in the Worlds of Joss Whedon" Essays - Available for pre-order ! (you save 15%)

Webmaster — 2009-11-20T13:17:45Z

When writer and director Joss Whedon created the character Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he could hardly have expected the resulting academic interest in his work. Yet almost six years after the end of Buffy on television, Buffy studies—and academic work on Whedon's expanding oeuvre—continue to grow. Now with three hugely popular television shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly, and the film Serenity all available on DVD, scholars are evaluating countless aspects of the Whedon universe (or "Whedonverse"). Buffy, Ballads, and Bad Guys Who Sing : Music in the Worlds of Joss Whedon studies the significant role that music plays in these works, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Whedon's latest creation, the internet musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Kendra Preston Leonard has collected a varying selection of essays that explore music and sound in Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, offering multiple perspectives on the uses and meanings of music in Joss Whedon's works. The essays investigate both diegetic and non-diegetic music, considering music from various sources, including the shows' original scores, music performed by the characters themselves, and music contributed by such artists as Michelle Branch, The Sex Pistols, and Sarah McLachlan, as well as classical composers like Camille Saint-Saëns and Johannes Brahms.

The approaches incorporate historical and theoretical musicology, feminist and queer musicology, media studies, cultural history, and interdisciplinary readings. The book also involves the compositions written by Whedon himself : the theme music for Firefly, and two fully integrated musicals, the Buffy episode "Once More, With Feeling" and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, released over the summer of 2008. With several musical examples, a table with a full breakdown of the Danse Macabre scene from the acclaimed Buffy episode "Hush," and an index, this volume is fascinating to students and scholars of science-fiction, television, film, and popular culture, as well as to fans of Whedon and his works.

Buffy is Best of the Decade on Sepinwall.blogspot.com

Best of the best of the best ?

As we get close to the the post-Thanksgiving, pre-New Year's rerun dead zone, I'm starting to do work on both my Best of 2009 list (which will be a bear, because so many good new shows debuted this year, at the same time that a lot of veteran contenders were still great), and also on a Best of the Decade package that I'm guessing will comprise multiple lists, spanning not only genre (drama/comedy/reality/etc), but also covering things like Best Season, Best Episode, possibly Best One-Season Wonder, maybe Best Import, etc. Some more thoughts on that - and my request for input - coming up after the jump...

Not sure yet. Still trying to suss it all out. But the goal is to spread the wealth as much as I can, because the '00s were a great decade for TV, so no show will appear on more than one list.

I more or less know what most of the series contenders are - and if you've been reading me for a while, you can figure some obvious ones out, like "The Wire," "The Sopranos," "Freaks & Geeks," "Arrested Development," etc. - and just have to figure out how to divvy them up. But the lists for best season (of a show that overall isn't great enough to qualify for a best series list) or best episode (ibid) may require more thought. The best seasons of "Buffy," for instance, were in the '90s, but "Once More With Feeling" (pictured above) or "The Body" might earn a spot on the episodes list. ("Hush," alas, was the final episode aired in 1999, or it would be the pick.)

So I'm curious : if you leave out the obvious contenders listed above (and shows like "The Office" and "BSG"), what are either some great episodes or great seasons from shows that you think merit end-of-decade recognition ?
