Out of curiosity, is there a community focussed on Buffy the Vampire Slayer? For context, my girlfriend is a massive fan, and the addition of one might get her more interested in Lemmy, instead of big tech social media.

There isn't, but you can always add one. I seriously considered adding one myself a while back, and then thought I would be the only person in it, posting "Dawn's in trouble, must be Tuesday" or "Five by five" over and over.

Spooky season is a good time to get a rewatch going. Do a weekly episode guide or something.

Five by Five

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Always wanted to see her take on Drusilla.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

There's no season for a re-watch. There's some Freevee or something channel that is Buffy running 24/7, runs about a season a day, which for the last few months was my go-to background TV.

I would start a comm and just do hot takes on random things. Mostly about the failings of Season 6 and how Joss Whedon was the real villain all along.

Given the number of upvotes and comments on this post, I think there's definitely an appetite for it if you wanted to create it on Lemmy World. If you do create one, I'm happy to try to post things on it, and get the ball rolling.

Seems not. I just searched for one. If anyone makes one, I will promote it on here and suggest using !newcommunities@lemmy.world too.

Shout it from the rooftops!

[off topic?]

Drusilla appears in the novel Anno Dracula One Thousand Monsters.

A version of Buffy appears in Johnny Alucard.

Both by Kim Newman.

Oh, the Buffy Universe is much larger. Thanks to the transitive power of prop re-use and producers doing funny nods to random things in a period when they thought no one cared, Buffy and Angel are in the Tommy Whesphall universe.

Buffy's in the same universe as Friends, MASH, Dexter, Ghostbusters, Andor/Star Wars, Sex and the City, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Office, NCIS, The Muppets, Law and Order, and hundreds more.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can see "Law & Oder : Muppets."

Do we have Miss Piggy play the sexy ADA or the tough-as-nails investigator?

Sam The Eagle as the Judge.

Fozzy as the paramedic who pronounces them dead.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think sexy ADA. Unless you get Janice from the band to do that and Piggy can be the investigator.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Janine from the band is the flakey witness.

Forget Sam The Eagle as Judge. Go with the Swedish Chef.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're right - Sam should be the lead DA that is never actually around, and pitches all the cases to the ADA. Or senior police leadership.

Swedish Chef as judge is perfection.

Kermit would be the public defender when it's an episode that needs one with heart. Otherwise it's Scooter when it's a moment when they're a hot mess and getting the case wrong and overworked to hell.

Ralph would be an excellent highly-paid criminal defense attorney.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

There's a "Robot Chicken" where they do an episode of 'Law & Oder' but it's all chickens and they only cluck.

It follows the formula that we know so well we can infer what the dumb beasts are clucking about.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'll comment on it. To reach a audience at the beginning you might want to crosspost in this community or in !vampires@lemmy.zip

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Didn't know they existed thanks

I've never seen it but always meant to. I'd join in a watch along.

Hot dog. I don't know how I've never seen it despite my teenage crush on Alyson Hannigan.

Your link didn't work in my client.
