the_dala at 02:55pm on 08/09/2004Alrighty, so what I'm working on is the Sparrington supernatural semi-Buffy-crossover, and I'm introducing Jack to his first vampire, and you know what?
I've forgotten what vampires sound like when they go poof.
How many vampires did I watch and hear Buffy and Scoobs dust over the years? If you go for an average of, say, five vampires in one episode -- and that's a pretty darn conservative estimate -- and there are seven seasons, twenty-two episodes a season (with only twelve in the first), that gives you roughly 144 episodes, and therefore 720 dustings. That's not even taking into account the two and a half seasons of "Angel," or the fact that I've seen every "Buffy" ep at least twice (except for most of S7, because, duh).
And I can see it, but I can't hear it.
Thank goodness for DVD releases, is all I can say.
(Jack: What the hell does it matter what it sounds like? It's dead. I'm safe. All is well.
Dala: No thanks to you, you slut.
Jack: I could've taken it. I didn't need my arse saved.
Dala: Uh-huh, sure.
James: May I remind you about little details like plot and original character development?
Dala: Shut up, both of you. I'm popping "Welcome to the Hellmouth" in.
Jack: I'm sure we can think of some way to occupy ourselves while you're busy.
James: *mmmphh*)
ETA:Okay, got the sound. Gonna be a bitch to describe, though.
