I was in my local Barnes & Noble today looking for something completely different, when I stumbled across the June issue of Femme Fatales (one of the strangest magazines out there by far). On the cover is "Sarah Michelle Gellar, Vampire Slayer". The entire issue is about _Buffy_, including interviews with SMG herself, Marti Noxon, Kristine Sutherland, Charisma Carpenter, Eliza Dushku, Nancy Holder, and SMG's stunt double (who also has, er, the centerfold). Haven't had a chance to read it yet (just barely got home in time to pop the tape in the VCR and turn on Channel 11 as it was), but it all looks intriguing. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 22:15:29 -0700 From: "Susan Kroupa" Subject: Re: b/season finale > This one's gonna keep Don busy for MONTHS.

It begins at Joyce's house, with Riley heading off for a debriefing which he assures Buffy will be no big deal: he just has to promise to keep his mouth shut about the Initiative. Joyce makes a pointed remark about how nice it was to _finally_ meet Riley, which Buffy pointedly ignores. The four core scoobies sit down to pig out on videos. Xander wants to watch _Apocalypse Now_: the others are not so keen, having just lived it. Joyce says she's tired and goes to bed: the others swear they're still too keyed up from the fight to sleep, but they all conk out anyway. That's when Willow's dream starts. Yes, an all-dream episode: Don will be in heaven. I found it interesting how the dreams reflected each dreamer's character. It seems that what Willow really fears, for instance, is that nobody really likes her: that even Tara and Oz are sniggering _together_ behind her back. Xander, of course we know what Xander dreams about. And Giles can't stop being a Watcher no matter what, even when he's singing. (My favorite scene, actually, but mostly for Anya trying to tell a joke. But it's certainly also a key scene for the unraveling of this episode's plot.) And then, of course, there's the key character in all the dreams, whose increasing importance even when offstage has been noticable for a while now. And no, I don't mean the cheese guy. I trust that everyone noticed that the guy sitting with Riley in the "Surgeon General" scene of Buffy's dream was apparently the earlier human incarnation of Adam: not that it either looked or sounded like him, but the script so implies and I noticed the Adam actor's name in the opening credits. ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V2 #116 *****************************
