I've been watching Season 4 of Buffy again, and man, I forgot how good his fight scenes were. The angel fight and final fights in particular showed how hardcore fuck you up military he was. Plus he was a good character. A lot less whiney than Pre-Angel-Angel.

 

[Chony]

There are too many ways to spelly 'Riley'

Rielly
Riely
Reilly
Riley
Rilley

 

[sefskillz]

Season 4 is where it wanes for me, I didn't enjoy Riley or his arc at all.

 

[MrAngryFace]

He was a great fighter tho! WHAM WHAM. Plus he had the resident evil getup heh

 

[AntoneM]

riley sucked, compared to Buffy's 2 other men! and you too will see the light once you watch it all.

 

[Truelize]

I'm watching season five right now (as in it happens to be paused while the wife goes to the bathroom). And we just finished the episode where Riley leaves. Whew, what a relief, his character sucked in season five. Season four Riley was cool. Season five Riley was a waste of time.

 

[Escape Goat]

Riley sucked. MAF loses all credibility in Buffy matters.

 

[DSN2K]

nice guys finsh last, Riley was no different.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Dawn and the bitchy Lesbo slayer in training from buffy season 7 are much worse than riley ever was.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah riley got dumb in season 5. Spike was too wussy in 7 to rock. Angel vs Riley fight = one of the best buffyverse fights ever.

 

[etiolate]

Are you talking about that lameass X-Files GI Joe character? He was just a lame piece of meat. Between him, Lezbillow and Buffy Jr those episodes are just... horrifying.

:lol

sadly, i agree completely.

 

[MrAngryFace]

ok maybe im just blinded by Angel style fighting in Buffy. Tae Kwon Do = SNORE

 

[BuddyC]

A MAF Buffy thread? Yup, it's Christmas.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Ive been collecting the series for quite a while sir Same with angel. Im just not SSX level.

Haha, I love Giles rant on his automatic trans car in season 5.

"I loathe sitting here not contributing!"

 

[BuddyC]

Im just not SSX level.

And that's something we're all quite thankful for.

I just spent the past hour watching portions of the abortion that was season 7. Though I'm quite excited to see commentary on "Convesations with Dead People," there's really not much else there to hold my interest.

Angel's last season was so much better.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Season 7 only ruled cause o the Preacher and the last episode and the final developments between buffy and spike.

I hated the influx of new horrible actresses which resulted in about 10 episodes of Real World Sunnydale.

and furthermore I believe Angel > Buffy on every level, but a lot of people disagree with me.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

The episode with Spike beating up the principal rocked but then he went back to being pussified again for the rest of the season. Luckily he found his balls again in Season 5 on Angel.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Principal needed a whoopin.

 

[BuddyC]

Preacher was cool, yea. I liked that they chose Nathan ...whatever... just to keep him on the Whedon payroll while they worked out what the hell they were doing with Firefly. Same goes for the Gloria gal from Angel S4.

As for Angel > Buffy, I'm going to agree. The only way I can see Buffy being better than Angel is in the "hot chick" quota, but even then, I tire of Buffy and Dawn after so long.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Buffy vs Spike when he wore the Gem of Amara Daylight fight is one of my favourites.

The look on her face seeing spike in the day.. Priceless.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I think Angel > Buffy too.

The ideas for season 7 were so damn good, it's the execution that was (generally) piss poor. I mean, if you just look at what the season was about on paper, it seems like it's going to be the best thing ever, but they managed to screw it.

Buffy and Dawn being considered hotter than Cordelia and Fred is very strange to me.

The Buffy fights in that season were just laughable at some points. Especially when you look at the awesomeness of the Spike and Angel fight in Angel S5, Buffy hadn't even come close to that since the Faith/Buffy fight in S3. If you want a laugh (or possibly a cry of despair), check out Buffy fighting the vamps in that old lady's cellar where Spike has been burying them. You can see SMG delibrately backing into a vampire as it slowly gets a pole in place to trap her...it's just awful.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Fred = the hot

 

[BuddyC]

There is nothing in the Buffyverse hotter than Fred. Nothing.

I'm just saying that Buffy had a larger female cast, that's all.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Angel fights were just fucking slugfests, thats why they rocked. Faith vs Angel was fantastic in Season 1, but Buffy vs Faith Season 3 WAS very good. Angel vs Riley rocked, and who can forget Giles and his flaming baseball bat. Or hardcore wesley and his throat punches.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why make it Buffy and Dawn and not Buffy and Anya?

I think Season 7 ended up ruining alot of peoples view on the series. It was just a mess after the first few episodes. Which is sad since it seemed like they were setting up for something really big and then everything just started unraveling slowly. Buffy in its prime (2,3 and 5) was extremely good.

 

[BuddyC]

I uh, forgot Anya existed.

Oops.

Yea, you've got a point there. I just remember oogling Dawn a bit more in S7, tis all.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Or they just pull out shotguns and shit like they did with the Beast.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Angel > buffy in every aspect, even in terms of chicks.....how can you guys forget the last 4 episodes of season 2? cordelia was really hot in her prime.

 

[etiolate]

Early seasons Willow and Fred are the hottest buffyverse chicks.

 

[keeblerdrow]

The whole of the Slayers in training was a pain to all my senses pretty much any time any of them were on screen. I kinda wish that the first woulda gotten Kennedy. I remember hoping every week that she'd bite it, but then she became Willow's love interest and that idea was shot out the window.

 

[Axsider]

SPIKE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all

 

[Mama Smurf]

SPIKE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all*

*Except Wesley, Illyria and a whole bunch of other characters who he's probably on par with but no more

God, it's like we were seperated at birth.

 

[Axsider]

SPIKE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all

!!

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

and furthermore I believe Angel > Buffy on every level, but a lot of people disagree with me.

Yeah, those people are called idiots.

And Riley's character sucked balls, the only character worse was Tara. Oooh look at me, I'm a shy, lesbian witch, and I have... this... slow... halting... way.... of.... talk..ing. Ugh.
