Great News
Looks like we're getting a new host and a DOMAIN name... we being me... Primal Forces, the owner of Buffy-boards.com has offered to host this site for a small fee and also reg my chosen domain name which will remain a secret until the time comes. When this eventually happens which should be around the 26th of this month I will be looking out for people to help maintain the site and possibly give it a newer look.

Are You About To Be Foxed?
It seems that Fox Entertainment are up to their old tricks again. They are targetting fan sites and insiting that material be removed or they will take legal action against the owners. The first web site owner to recieve an e-mail from Fox is the webmaster/mistress of TheSlayer.net. Although this is purely a fan site premoting the show, Fox seem to think it's a good idea/publicity to close down fan sites. It also seems that Fox did not radomly target this site, the webmaster of another site seems to have pointed Fox Entertainment towards TheSlayer.net. If this is the case then webmasters who promote their sites or chat on posting boards beware, there is a snake among us!.
Althogh my site is relatively small now I do have plans for it to get bigger and to expand eventually, hours of work has gone into this site, typos and all and I would hate to have to close it down because of feeble minded Fox Execs so later on next week I will be adding a disclaimer to the page a better one than the WB copyright... just to keep my tail feathers covered.
T21 Update
It's been brought to my attention that not all the information I recieved on this mysterious site has been completely true, so for the moment all you hear about T21 from now on are rumours and should be treated as suck. I have been told though that I am on the right track... I will find out more, eventually... T21 staff watch your backs, I know who you are.

T21
I was going to do a story on the disappearance of BuffyUK.org but I've been told by the purtiest red headed angel on the block that T21 (Tangent 21) will be taking the sites place. T21 will host all manner of Sci-Fi pages, Charmed, Buffy, Angel, Star Trek, Xena etc. the banner on the opening page to this site was created by moi as a little taster. The site should be opening in August and I have not been able to ween a meaning for T21 out of the red head yet.
For those of you who have lost your way from The Stakehouse Posting boards... T21 is the place to be. Here's the site, all the old gang is there so come along and follow The Road To Tangent 21.

I'm Back
After the disappointment of not being able to afford a web domain or more space, I've decided not to abandon my site. It's a tough job keeping it updated aswell as dealing with Life issues and work but I'm going to stick with it, making more backgrounds for the downloads page. The merchandise sections will have direct links to Amazon/Blackstar, depending on which offers the cheaper price on a product, instead of my little explanations about each piece, if you want to review an item just click on contact.
David Goes Blonde
David has admitted to bleaching his hair for his new movie 'I'm With Lucy In Miami' which should hit the big screen fairly soon. David also revealed to Hollywood.com that the new season of Angel will be fun filled as he dones his duster for another set of 22 episodes, although the WB have said Angel has to become its own individual show, that will not stop referances from Buffy getting popped in there once in a while.
Lonleyness Of The Six
As Season 6 of Buffy goes into production, I'm left wondering what will happen to poor old Anthony Head. Well the rumours of the BBC Spin Off Giles certainly look founded as Joss and ASH give a little more info on the series. The Giles spin off will be based on the theme of Lonelyness. The idea that the british are repressed and that their demons are kind of more terrifying because they're tied in with a persons life.
DVD News
Well after the disappearance of the Season 2 DVDs off shop shelves and E-Retailers having taken it off their pages? Where's it gone? I've seen no re-issue. Oh well thems the breaks BUT Season Three is on it's way to DVD as is Angel Season One!
Angel Season One
First the bad news, we know that this season was shot along side Buffy Season 4 which was a 16:9 Widescreen transfer but it seems that the Angel DVD's will be a 4:3 transfer which kinda sucks since you're not gonna see the series the way Joss intended it to be seen. What can we expect on these miricle disks I hear you Cry... well..

Four Featurettes
Outtakes
TV Spots
Scripts
Cast Bios and a Gallery
The box set will retail at £79.99, highly over priced if you ask me but the price is down to them swindlers at Fox Entertainment. Look out for them internet pricing mistakes now. The Set will more than likely be presented in an X-Files Stylie box.
Buffy Season Three
This will once again be a six disc set, much like the Angel Season One box set it will/should appear in an X-Files Stylie set. The confirmed aspects of the DVD are as follows:
Five Featurettes
Four Commentaries
TV Spots
Cast Bios and Scripts
Maybe Fox ran out of interesting ideas. This box set will also reatail at £79.99. It's suspected release date is the 29th October.
Site Diary Ditched
You'll notice the site diary has vanished from this part of the site. Well it seemed too much like hard work, so it's gone.

God, The Devil & Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah made another cartoon voice appearance in the cartoon series 'God, The Devil & Bob'. Sarah plays a well known actress trying to lure Bob into lucifers hands by stopping him from accomplishing all his good deeds. Last week saw the first airing of this episode on the BBC, although the show was cancelled after four weeks in the USA, This could be a little practice before the upcoming Buffy Cartoon which will be hitting the Fox Kids Network in 2002.
A Charmed Presance?
Recent rumours that Shannen Doherty of 'Charmed' and 'Beverly Hills 90210' would be appearing in season six of the show but these rumours have been squashed by Marti Noxon and Shannens advisors. Although now the idea is floating around maybe there will be some hope of a little more witchery in season six.
Musical Madness
As more about season six comes to surface, the musical episode seems to appear more and more. Rumours that the fab Christophe Beck, (who scored seasons two and three of Buffy The Vampire Slayer) will return to score this one episode of the season which is expected to be episode six.
Giles The Wonder Librarian
ASH has been talking to SFX magazine and has confirmed that he will only appear in four episodes of season six. These will been episodes one, four, five and six. Then he hopes that plans for the BBC mini series 'Ripper' will go ahead. We shall see how it all goes.
Site News
It's all bad! I was hoping to get a domain name and space for my birthday but that has fallen through due to personal problems so I intend to find another way of getting my site hosted. This may take some time but I will do it, even if it kills me.
The DVD Fiasco
Hopefully this isn't a rumour but Season Two of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is due for re-release on July 14th. The discs WILL be the same although the packaging will take on the look of the X-Files box set. Lets just hope it isn't as flimsy as the first X-Files Box Set.
