Redirected from Talk:Buffy The Vampire Slayer television show
The series seems to be much much more popular. I recommend moving the series page to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The film should be treated as a quick paragraph in this article. If no one objects, I'll do this in a bit. --Brion
Note to the person who removed the spoiler: the consensus policy on spoilers on Wikipedia is that we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, and so it is acceptable (and indeed encouraged) to provide full discussion of the plot of any creative media. However, because people may not know this policy when they come to a page, people should add a disclaimer to the top of the page, usually just a link to the Wikipedia contains spoilers page. Merely that some part of an article is a spoiler is *not* sufficient grounds to remove it. --Robert Merkel

Noted. In my defense, the original article did not contain *any* spoiler warnings, and I was quite disappointed to discover a spoiler for an episode that hasn't even been shown in New Zealand or other parts of the world. In addition, I don't see what this sentence contributes to the Wikipedia entry, in the way that a spoilers for The Sixth Sense would be necessary. Why not mention how Angel got his soul back but got killed by Buffy to save the world anyway? He was a much more important character, and even got his own spinoff! --Carey Evans
That didn't come out right anyway. I meant to say something like how Angel's story was more significant than what the fifth season is leading up to.
I'll leave the page for now, anyway. A better solution in my mind would be to write a description of the main arc story for each season, giving the spoiler some context and showing readers what they're going to see if they read further; but I'm not going to commit to that right now.
just some ideas for future pages names for characters:
I've been working a bit on adding information for the characters that don't have entries yet. Did one for Anya, and have added a few minor character links at the bottom of the main page.
Would it be reasonable to do entries for *all* of the characters in the show? They all have such distinctive personalities and would be fun to write! --wapcaplet
Among many recent improvements by Barkingdoc to the article, I see that the following sentence has been removed:-
There has been legitimate talk about Head leading a BBC series as Giles, but Head has never confirmed that he himself was offered a role or a series. BBC is generally loathe to produce spin-offs. It is more likely that he will develop a more traditional detective-style series as a new character. Since it hasn't come to fruition (nor has the cartoon) and probably will not at this point, it seemed better to cover all of it under "other proposed series." --BarkingDoc
A page for "Ripper" has been on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/) for quite a while. It's dated 2002, so obviously the show did not get produced when it was intended to. I haven't heard anything other than rumor about it, so I think BarkingDoc was correct to remove it. -- Wapcaplet
The following paragraph has ben removed, with no explanation in the edit summary or here:-
The introduction of Buffy's sister was surely a very important part of the development of the series, and in the current version of the article, doesn't get a mention. Is there anything factually inaccurate, POV, or otherwise bad in the paragraph above, and if not can I put it back? -- Oliver P. 14:19 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
One fact that has been left out is that Whedon considers the movie to be a pathetic shadow of the series, over which he has creative control. Should this be mentioned somewhere? I'm a newbie so I'm a little loath to change this article. Wnissen 03:20 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
The following stuff needs to be moved, not sure to where:
Intimate relationships between vampires
Intimate Relationships Between Vampires and Human

If I've understood the situation correctly, 24.112.136.178 (/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=24.112.136.178) started a new article today on the relationships between the characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and possibly also in the spin-off series Angel, consisting pretty much of the above lists. Zoe incorporated the material into the main Buffy the Vampire Slayer article, but I agree with you that this is not the best place for it. There's a bit of a discussion at Talk:Buffy Vampire Relationships. -- Oliver P. 01:07 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
One might note that these are not simply relationships among characters, but relationships involving vampires. And, not just possibly also in the spin-off series, but definitely. The character Lindsey MacDonald, specifically, has never even appeared on Buffy. Several of the other relationships (such as Angel and Darla) have only been seen fully on Angel. Like most everyone else, I don't really think this deserves its own article, but at the same time, I don't think it should go on the main Buffy page, either. Perhaps it should be deleted? john 05:44 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
No objections here. Evercat 01:03 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
