Is "Ultimate Evil" related to "Evil Dave"?  If so, will he discuss the

The movie has been in the planning for a while now, the main bad guy has
been rumoured to be the "Ultimate Evil" from the Buffy Xmas episode where
Angels tries to kill himself (in series three.)

ah well, we can probably also expect "The Rock" from WWF
to show up and lay the smack down on some vamps, also 
expect to here plans for a BtVS movie as well, so they
can get use out of the sets one more time.

yeah, but we saw her body and grave, so buffy being in
the dark dimension doesn't really work, unless some evil
fiend spat out a fake corpse and buffy is currently
being held against her will by some evil demon type
dudes - which will force the scooby gang to set of
into the alternate dimension, which can only be accessed
via the Buffy the Vampire Slayer ride at the local
theme park - once there each will be given a magic
weapon by a short bloke with long white hair, and
they along with buffy will spend each week trying
to get back to earth - works for me! ;-) 

> Probably in a

but not too happy, unless of course that doesn't apply
in the host's world - in which case he'll take buffy
there and see if cordy left that outfit lying around ;-)

i'm a little worried that the next season will suck.
lets wait and see if the warning signs are there, more
weird settings i.e. they all get sucked into the
movie casablanca and the episode is entirely in black
and white, guest appearances from other shows/from
major celebrities.

Trying to remember where I read this (probably Heat) but SMG *had* said she
wouldn't stay with the show if it moved from WB to UPN. 

Quick bit of digging and I've found the following;
[Heat Magazine, 19-25 May 2001]
"The producers of Buffy, Fox TV, have offered ridiculous soundbites to justify
switching TV networks in the US. The WB, home to Buffy since it's inception,
did not match the "passion" and "vision" demonstrated by rival network UPN,
which has secured the show for two years. The fact that UPN bid a total of
$22 million more than WB wasn't mentioned by Fox.

"UPN sontinued to show it's "vision" and "passion" with the $50,000 gift
baskets it sent eight Buffy cast regulars to welcome them to their new
network - which included Cristal champagne and a Cartier watch, Sarah
Michelle Gellar - who once said she'd quit Buffy if it left WB, then retracted
the comments - was given a Gucci necklace."

Heat may not always be the most reliable rag, but it's ususally fairly
accurate on this stuff.

My bet is that she got sucked through the portal into
the dark side and will get spat back out in 9 months
time or whenever the next series is.  Probably in a
pretty bad mood, angel will be all happy again and
Sunnydale will be back to normal, or as normal as it
gets.  Who knows?

nah Jonathan, you got it wrong, they were on the other side on CD UK or
some such. they were actually quite entertaining with cat deally, however
you spell it, with them. i think they got moved to prime time, which
probably will be a one season wonder. as for live and kicking it seems
to have gone down the tubes badly, there is some american bloke who
really has a persona that makes you want to ram his head repeatedly into
plate glass until you break through and it also has that tart (i say
that in an accurate way) from the karaoke show with suggs. now i remember
the good old days of live and kicking with sarah green and pete and simon

ahhh halycon days

Interesting article, that. So's the one from earlier in the year when
Buffy's Mom [0] died.

Yeah, it was in NTK and everything. Although the URL is coming up 404
now. (Leon also put it in the weekly summary, and stuff.)

(The great thing about not watching TV is you don't have to worry about
spoilers. I mean, from what I've heard, the ending of Voyager)

http://www.salon.com/ent/col/mill/2001/05/29/finales_2001/index3.html
Wednesday morning, series creator Joss Whedon (who wrote and directed the finale)
posted to the official WB "Buffy" board dispelling the hoax rumor. "'Buffy' will
be back next season starring Sarah Michelle Gellar ... Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on UPN,"
Whedon wrote. "How will we bring her back? With great difficulty, of course. And
pain and confusion. Will it be cheezy [sic]? I don't think so." Thursday, he
further laid to rest the hoax rumor, and revealed some plans for next season,
in an interview with TV Guide Online. Did you know that Giles is getting a BBC spinoff?

Anthony Head said this morning on Live & Kicking[1] that Buffy will
definitely be back and that the change of network in the US would not effect
the BBC showing new Buffy (everyone involved was trying not to mention the
rival Sky).  Obviously, this is just his opinion but it adds to the rumour
mill.

I've been told (*prays this is not true*) that SMG signed up for two
more series but has a clause that if Univeral Pictures produce it she
is not oblidged to do them (as apparently she didn't want to work for
Universal).

So, this could be an ending to make sure she and Univeral have
time to work it out...

i just hope I have been mis-informed.

For some reason, on Friday night Sky One, NTL and my VCR all conspired 
against me to give me a recording of Buffy and Angel with perfect picture

If anyone can lend me a recording at some time this week I'd be most grateful.

I stopped going a few years ago. It was getting far too crowded.

That looks great (and it pointed me to The Black Cat Theory, a banjo

Yes, very definitely. Unfortunately I don't play anything vaguely relevant,

Yup, it is.  I'd just like to add that I saw it performed by the real
band (i.e., not George Clooney lipsynching) one week ago.  It was
bloody brilliant.  I think I even have a photo on the digital camera
of them around the microphone doing the harmonies.  No fake beards,
though :-)

There are rumours of a Soggy Bottom Boys tour in 2002.  There was a
big concert of the music from the movie last year, and it was recorded
by some famous documentarian.  I'm looking forward to the release of
that.

Whatchoo talkin bout Willis?  It was perfectly understandable.  Of

The prison uniforms have green stripes these days, rather than the

Well, yes. but the version of 'O Death' that the big KKK chap sings,

pretty spectacular too. I'm trying to work out if I was bowled over by
