"I created Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a movie, long time ago, to protect, as i’ve said before, the “blonde girl in the alley who always got killed.” One of the distinguishing features of the “blonde girl in the alley who always got killed” was that she actually had sex. She always seemed to be punished for it. That bothered me. I thought it wasn’t fair, so, Buffy was created as a sort of stereotype buster on that level."
Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Innocence Commentary)
Buffering the Vampire Slayer
“I designed Buffy to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can’t be loved. Because it’s about adolescence, which is the most important thing people go through in their development, becoming an adult. And it mythologizes it in such a way, such a romantic way-it basically says, ‘Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.’ And I think that’s very personal, that people get something from that that’s very real.” (x)
Can I have this or..?
“Oh, please! If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock. I was actually at Woodstock. That was a weird gig. I fed off a flower person, and I spent the next six hours watching my hand move.”
When the “welcome to sunnydale” sign fall , you know it’s always Spike’s fault.
Fuck yes, Joss Whedon is back. I think I know what I am doing Birthday Weekend. Amy Acker Tom Lenk and Franz Kranz. I am going to overload on Jossverse.
