Potential
Ah well it's not like we can do any thing about it the buffy dvds are over and done with. but i cant wait for the complete series dvd in november it might look good.
I half agree with most of you here, on different points.
Points of interest - I don't believe SMG is interviewed on any of the DVDs, she only attended one fan conference (which was for a film, not Buffy), and has said in recent interviews she was "ashamed as a woman" over scenes in Season 6 of Buffy.
Anyone know why she was ashamed of some scenes in season 6 & what the scenes were?
During an interview used as the basis of a multi-page article in the June 2004 edition of Elle magazine she is claimed to have said, "Where I had a problem is when Buffy got together with Spike. It became very S&M and I felt degraded as an actress."
In particular, it was suggested that she didn't like the scene in 'Dead Things' on the balcony in The Bronze, although the article (not Gellar, to be absolutely clear about this) mistakenly refers to the presence/use of a pool table, which simply suggests that the writer was not entirely clear about the facts. The article does not refer to the episode by name.
The quote has no context whatsoever because we have no idea what else Gellar said during the interview in relation to this subject or the nature of the question she was being asked. However, some fans responded badly to her comment at the time, reading all sorts of weird and wonderful meanings into it and the whole thing got completely blown out of all proportion.
It's all water under the bridge now.
