JohnT's wife goes to Buffy conventions. I just tag along. I haven't gone to a sci-fi con on my initiative since Harlan Ellison was the Guest of Honor at DragonCon in Atlanta back around 1993, 94. Nowadays, they don't even bother with books, much, it's all TV and movies.

there are still star wars books, but those aren't al lthat good. I really got into the star wars books when I was first playing KOTOR, goddman that game is addicting, but then I swung out, and my interest again lagged.

Just read the Timothy Zahn books, esp. his first three. The newer books are garbage, at least what I have read;they have reached a point where they just need to let it go.

The older books, however, are entertaining.

She still had her powers when the show ended. So did a lot of "potential slayers" (the reason why season 7 was so mediocre, imho).

I think everyone can agree that "slayers" could really do nothing to anyone in a spaceship.

Well, they also speak with a funny accent and were not shy about planetary bombardment against the Narn. Their planet almost gets blown away by the Vorlons..almost.

The Centauri are cool, especially with the Hungarian Accents and the use of Mas Drivers on Narn.

You know, all props to my Slayer sister but she only kicked Glory butt, she never defeated a god. She Odin Hammered Glorificus until the most womenly scented one had to hide in Ben. Then Buffster gave Ben a lecture and Giles had to kill him.

It's the equivalent of punching somone in the face, telling them they smell, and then letting your father burn down their house while they're inside.

Wow, a God with rather weak powers if she could get a beatdown from someone who can get shot to death.

Lets see, Buffy down on the planetay surface...and then a quick little turbolaser flash, particle beam, phaser, disruptor, mass driver, nuclear missile or whatever, and poof, no more little town, no more annoying slayer.

It's fun comparing things that hugely unproportional. I wanna compare the Vorlon attack fleet against Q now.

Now, Buffy versus Worf would be an interesting match.
The latest in a long line of mystical warriors infused with the power of demon up against an alien hothead with bad teeth.

I don't like Worf, so interesting in the sense that seeing a really annoying kid get hit by a car is interesting. Ie, preferable over, say, watching paint dry.

Eh, if you don't watch Buffy you probably wouldn't.

However, Bruce Campbell has appeared in the Evil Dead movies, a few TV shows (my favorite being Brisco County Jr.) and other misc. crapola. The subtitle of his autobiography is, IIRC, The Life and Times of a B-Movie Actor. Anyway, I was joking with the "BIG names" comment.

Brisco County was great fun! Evil Dead, too. I can only imagine that he must've had great fun making them, too.
