More Buffy Geekness February 27, 2003 - 9:50 p.m.

For those that somehow doubted my geekyness...

I've got a theory... that Buffy could, at least should, become the Star Trek for our generation. When one version of the series starts to get old and die, then another version will pop up. The rumored spin-off's, as well as the existing Angel, are helping support my theory.

First there was Buffy (7 years), then Angel (now 4 years). They've talked about doing Ripper and now another one with possibly Faith (even though she's signed on to some other show, they may just find someone/thing else) and as far as I've heard, both are still a go. That would make four.

Star Trek has the original show (3 years), Next Generation (7 years), Deep Space Nine (6 years), Voyager (6 years) and Enterprise (2 years, so far). I think that includes all of them. And That's five. Only one more than the potential Buffy shows. And Star Trek did so well, despite its first show only running for three years. Although... I'm not sure it that means three seasons, it may have only been two.

Regardless... it think it would rock. At least Buffy isn't quite so nerdy.

And last night, Chris and I were discussing who was who. Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Lord of the Rings.
Also... if you haven't read the Lord of the Rings books, then I suppose the stuff below may contain spoilers. The same applies with having watched the most recent Buffy shows. So don't read the list if you don't want spoilage.

Andrew = Frodo (the seal was his ring)
Xander = Sam (cause Andrew needs a geek friend and buttbuddy. sorry, had to make the joke.)
Buffy = Aragorn (duh)
Giles = Gandalf (double duh)
Faith = Legolas (badass + lust factor)
Spike = Gimli (pride for who he is, and great fighter)
Kennedy or Principal Wood = Boromir ('cause we want them to go away)
Angel = Arwen (impossible love and distance -- even if she will end up with Spike)
Willow = Galadriel (powerful hot chic, just add elf ears)
Jonathan = Saruman (something about being powerful and trying to return)
Dawn = Merry (couldn't think of anyone else)
Anya = Pippin (still couldn't think of anyone else)
The First = Gollum (will ultimately die)

Actually.. I think a lot is completely different that what we originally said. But we changed it around so many times, that I just can't remember correctly. For example, I think we had Dawn and Andrew being Merry and Pippin.. but that wouldn't work because the whole joke started by saying the seal was like Andrew's version of the ring. It was his responsibility to fix what had gone wrong. And I think there was a joke about Clem being Gollum. If I remember how we originally had it, I'm sure I'll update this. As I'm a nerd 'n stuff.
