Anthony Head is one of those people who you could just listen to all day long. Such a lovely voice, and so charismatic.

[@piathaleiatattoo2165]

I’ve never stopped watching buffy. She was my hero. You all were. Buffy still is a big part of my life. And takes a huge inspiration to my art in my tattoo career. Thanks for everything. 🖤

[@Salena905]

Yeah, love it too,I passed down the Buffy knowledge to my son & daughter years ago & they too still love it & Angel series too. It's just the best thing Joss created. 😀💖 Oh, if you have a Pinterest app you could share your tattoos, I'd love to see them. I'd love to have one, but can't cope with the pain, but my daughter has one & is creating an idea for another one to have done later. 😊

[@josh5805]

You know, I’ve never stopped watching Buffy either. It’s like several times a year I can just pop in a season and get right into it. I’ve done it since I got the series on dvd and haven’t stopped. I hadn’t noticed it until you said it. It’s the only show that I could watch constantly. Thanks for pointing it out!

Shit I wish you were around here! I've been wanting a Buffy tattoo for so long but have no idea of what and how it could be without it being awkward

Which is a shame, really, as no one should be held responsible for how bad that accent was.

[@elizabethm6657]

@@dttruman Facts. I had no idea Marsters wasn't British. I happened to see him on Hollywood Squares and when they called on him and I heard his real accent, my mind was blown. He's amazing.

[@Mr_Flerb]

@@dttruman Well, yeah. I mean, that’s the nature of accents in media; no matter how bad it may be it’s going to fool some people, specifically the ones who don’t know what they’re hearing. Do a South African accent for me and I’ll accept it, since I only have a general idea what it’s supposed to sound like. For me personally, Spike’s accent was always like nails on a chalkboard.

I've been rewatching the series after nearly twenty years since last watching it, and I had the good fortune of completely forgetting about that moment. When I saw it again in that episode, I clapped and cheered quite loudly in my living room. My neighbors probably thought I was watching a sporting event. 😄

My husband introduced me to the world of Buffy when we were first married (2001), and we got each other the DVD sets as Christmas and birthday gifts for years. When our daughters were older, we got to relive the series through new eyes when they watched it for the first time. We all still quote lines randomly or start singing songs from the musical, etc. I smiled all through this video- feels like listening to an old friend.

According to cannon Giles dies in Season 8 the "Last Gleaming, Part IV", but I would forgive a retcon that allows him to survive, if it meant that I could see him on the screen again, played by this magnificent actor. Edit: Apparently, Giles is resurrected in Season 9, so Giles on TV again is a go. Let's make it happen!

He really is. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a convention in Detroit 15 years ago (!) and he was such a sweetheart. I was going through some rather emotional things at the time (I'd lost my uncle the week before) and while I was talking to him after his concert I started to cry. He set his drink down and pulled me into a hug. He just held me and told me to "forget all these people and take care of you." I'll never forget that.
