OPINION
Listmania: The Revenge
by Daniel Erenberg
So every so often I used to do these little top 5 lists. I was really into them. It started as a game I used to play with my friends. Lists are fun. So I have a few more now. If you guys want me to do it again sometime soon, e-mail me some list topics. But for now this is what I came up with. As always, you can comment on the bulletin board below.

| Daniel Erenberg (AKA: Dan)(AKA: Nighthawk) is fairly happy with the life he lives in his house in the Yorkshire section of Lynbrook, New York. He's got a band called The Doldrums which he alternately thinks are brilliant and awful. He writes almost as often as he watches television, which any reader of his Slayage column knows is saying a lot. Beautiful girls and other types of Buffy fans can reach him at ghe37@aol.com. |

These lists are wicked. You need to do more; (way to have an 8 month X-mas holiday :P ).
I'm so psyched that Slayage is back! I never gave up hope!
Love the lists too. I agree with most things except.....
Character Deaths (Angel). I know that Cordelia was more of a main character than Darla, and her death was such a great twist, but when you think about it, Cordy had been dead for a year. Darla's death was just as "twist"-y, and a lot more dramatic. I think that in her final moments, you see something really change (even temporarily) within her, and although you hear of repenting on the deathbed blah blah blah...ok I'm going to stop trying to make this sound intelligent SHE FRIGGIN STAKED HERSELF! Thats so awsome, and then as her ashes crumble, she leaves behind her human baby. It doesn't get much more awsome than that.
Also, Not Fade Away was a great ep, but there were better Angel episodes.
Last but not least, "We are as Gods" ranks so much higher on the dream sequences list.
Anywho, hope for more updates soon! Everyone seems to be giving up on the Buffyverse:( It's sad to see.

There was a decided display both of the "flash" and the "ring," as Lennox looked at the suddenly subdued young lady, and, quite satisfied with his retaliation, gave the order -- "Forward, march!" which brought them to the garden-gate breathless, but better friends than before.

"Once More With Feeling" was number 6. I swear.
New article in a day or two.

Top 5 Dance Sequence (All Joss Shows) -- what about Numfar, Lorne's brother??? It had me on the floor, especially after I remembered who was playing him!
And welcome back Daniel!

Great lists! Glad to see some updates on the site, but how could "Once More, With Feeling" not be in your top 5 list of Buffy episodes.
