True or False?

[Stoney]

Okay, this was suggested for just a bit of light fun. One person makes a statement and the next person says whether they think it is true or false. You can choose whether to explain your answer or not, but don't forget to post a new statement for the next person to answer true or false to.

So here's one to start us off...

Wes looking to date Cordelia in S3 is a bit creepy and inappropriate.

[Priceless]

True . . . but I enjoyed the humour of it, and Cordy really didn't look like a schoolgirl and I think the writers were making fun of that


My statement - Fred/Gunn was a healthier relationship then Fred/Wesley

[TimeTravellingBunny]

True, and prerty obviously so.

The idea that Fred was in love with Wesley was completely unconvincing, she had just decided to try sating him, which came out of the blue, and she died very soon.

[Priceless]

Did you want to make a statement TimeTravellingBunny?

I said that the idea that Fred was in love with Wesley was unconvincing. The next person is to say if they agree or not.

[Stoney]

Ah sorry, I'd read that as a comment relating to your opinion on what Priceless had said, duh!

True.

We're running on a theme here because this made me think of my statement... The idea that everyone who came near her seemed to fall in love with Fred was irritating.

[Priceless]

I said that the idea that Fred was in love with Wesley was unconvincing. The next person is to say if they agree or not.

Sorry TTB, like Stoney, I thought it was a comment on the previous statement.

And to Stoney's statement - True and very annoying!

My statement - Buffy was in love with Spike in S6 but couldn't admit it

[GoSpuffy]

True

Statement : dawn did not cause Joyce's brain tumor

[Priceless]

TRUE!

Statement - The later seasons are much more interesting than the early seasons

[TimeTravellingBunny]

True (though I like the early seasons, too).

Statement: The Girl in Question is a terrible episode.

[flow]

False: It is an incredible funny episode. But after Fred`s and Cordy`s death and so close to the tragic season finale, it sadly wasn`t the right time for a funny episode.

Statement: Darla should have been the season1 Big Bad.

flow

[Priceless]

True . . . just. I loved the Master, but he was the obvious choice as such, male, old, patriarchal, so that fitted with what the show was trying to do, but Darla would have been fantastic too, and opened up so many avenues to examine in relation to her and Angel and how that affected Angel and Buffy's relationship . . . good call flow

Statement - The Mayor was the best big bad

[TimeTravellingBunny]

True. Or at least one of the best.

Statement - Angel's appearance in End of Days/Chosen, as written, was unnecessary fanservice.

[Priceless]

TRUE

Statement - Willow totally over-reacted to finding out Xander slept with Faith

[TimeTravellingBunny]

True. It seemed like something season 1 or season 2 Willow would do, not Willow in mid-season 3, who is in love with Oz, has already had a fling with Xander and then chosen Oz over him. I get that she would still be upset, but crying in the toilet? Come on.

Statement: Spike deciding to remain in LA in season 5 of AtS and hiding his resurrection from Buffy was never really convincing, it was clear the writers just needed him to remain on the show.

[Priceless]

True . . . but I give credit to the writers, they did everything they could think of to keep him away from Buffy, even making him a ghost, but no, it really wasn't credible.

Statement - Xander should have admitted he remembered everything he'd done in The Pack

[Stoney]

False. I don't think that it would have benefited the friendship between him and Buffy. Yes his underlying feelings for her were a part of why he attacked her but he wouldn't have attacked her if he hadn't been possessed. I think it was better for both of them to be able to brush past it.

(I also think it was better for Buffy/Spike in actuality that he spent some time away from her and figured himself out a bit after becoming souled, forged his own way a little. I used to think it was totally unbelievable that he didn't return to her but I've shifted some on this in recent years.)

Statement - Clem and Harmony are a really bizarre and somewhat ridiculous duo for the comics to have teamed up.

[GoSpuffy]

True and false. Yes they are bizarre but in a good way

Xander should get a bionic eye or a magic eye or something. Every thing else including death has a magic solution

[Priceless]

False . . . I like Xander's eye-patch and it's a reminder to him and everyone that there are consequences to fighting


Statement - One of the themes of S7 is empowerment

[Stoney]

True. I think a lot of S6 looks at the abuse of power and S7 then follows and shows how you can use your own power to strengthen others. This is particularly strong between Buffy & Willow and Buffy & Spike, which makes sense against S6. But obviously it is wider than than too.

Statement - The way Dru disregards Spike's feelings and manipulates him emotionally is often ignored by fans of the ship in favour of romanticising them as a couple just because they were together for so long.
