QUESTION OF THE DAY

[ohiofan]

Don't forget the Mash!

Here'a a hint: It was used by Wesley.

Just trying to keep our minds grounded in the Buffyverse, Andy!

[little t]

Monkey

[ohiofan]

Little T wins a gift certificate to the Magic Shop! It was muttered in "Consequences" when Wesley was calling to report Faith to the Council.

Here's another: What was Buffy's score on the S.A.T. tests?

[andrew r]

^^ I was going to say Smash (Brit joke). Err I'll have to back out as I dunno what a good or a bad score is there!

[ohiofan]

1430. The Scoobies found out their scores at the beginning of "Lover's Walk". I still remember Willow telling Buffy she had kicked ass and the look on Cordelia's face that made me think Buffy had done better than her.

Here's an easy one: What was Buffy's address?

[eadweard]

1630 Revello Drive, Sunnydale, CA. Another easy: what does Cordelia's license plate say?

[ohiofan]

"QUEENC" - I believe!

Right on with the address, Ed! Now - what was the address number of the Magic Box?

[andrew r]

D'oh! I get two right off the bat, and they've been answered! Is it 320? I forget the street.

[eadweard]

Very good, Pat (I'm just surprised it didn't say "QUEEN B"). Not sure about the Magic Box.

[ohiofan]

5124. You only see it a couple of times in the series.

What is Buffy's Astrological Sign?

[eadweard]

Well, it has to be either Capricorn or Aquarius...I'll guess it's the latter. And this calls to mind a Swans Crossing piece of trivia: what was Sydney Rutledge's middle name?

It depends which birthday you choose. In I Robot you Jane Buffy's details on the first computer screen give her date of birth as 10/24/80 Sophomore; the very next scene dob 5/6/79 Senior.

[ohiofan]

You're right about that, Little T. When asked "What are you?" by Riley, Buffy replies "Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius" so Ed was in the ball park.

Ed - I believe it was Orion.

How old is Anya?

[eadweard]

Bingo, Pat! Anya? 1000?

[andrew r]

Oooh! I'm trying to remember the beer sketch! ''I'm 1150 frickin' years old! Gimme a beer!'' Or something like that. Well that's Anyanka's age. I'd say 20 for human Anya? What is Emma up to these days anyway? I thought she was great.

I don't know what Emma is up to (but good question and would love to know the answer), but I did just see this article that y'all might be interested in...


Buffy Sis Graduates to Gossip Girl

There's a new Dawn over at the CW.

A rep for the network confirms that Michelle Trachtenberg has joined the cast of the privileged-teen-centered soap Gossip Girl, in which she'll play one of the bitchier members of the bunch.

On the freshman CW series, which has been renewed for 2008-2009, she'll portray Georgina Sparks, a mischievous minx from Serena's past who will inevitably stir up trouble for the recently repatriated Upper East Sider, per TVGuide.com.

While as Buffy Summers' sister Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Trachtenberg was the mythical "key" to an exiled Hell-God's plan to return to her evil domain and lay waste to the town of Sunnydale.

After Sunnydale went "poof" in 2003, the 22-year-old Trachtenberg, herself a New York native, went on to starring roles in films such as Disney's Ice Princess, the teen-hustler drama Mysterious Skin, the Yuletide slasher flick Black Christmas and the made-for-TV tearjerker The Dive from Clausen's Pier.

She has also had prominent guest spots on Six Feet Under, House and, most recently, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the show all actors seem to go to for help exploring their sociopathic sides.

Close, Andy! It's 1120. Here's what she's been up to from Wikipedia:

"Career:

Emma's first notable role was as Brandon Walsh's girlfriend, Susan, on Beverly Hills 90210 in 1995. She appeared for thirty episodes in the series before departing in 1996. In 1998, Emma starred in her most famous role to date, as Anya Jenkins on the WB's hit show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Originally, her character was only to appear for several episodes. However, audiences responded well to Anya, resulting in Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, Joss Whedon's decision to add her to the cast.

In 2003, Emma landed her first lead role in the horror movie Darkness Falls, which debuted at number one in the U.S. box office. In 2004, she appeared on Monk as Meredith Preminger in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf". Caulfield also starred in the satire Bandwagon, playing a fictionalized and unflattering version of herself as a superficial, arrogant actress whose career is imploding. The movie was written and directed by close friend and fellow actress Karri Bowman. It screened at various festivals, although it has not been picked up for distribution. Several members of Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast and crew have cameos in the film.


Personal life:
Emma was briefly married before her career managed to take off.

Today, she continues to act but has stated that she does not want to continue doing so for the rest of her life. With a degree in psychology, Emma is considering other career alternatives, once her stay in Hollywood is done.

In 2007, she endorsed the campaign of Republican congressman and obstetrician Ron Paul for the U.S. presidential election of 2008. Caulfield keeps a regular blog wherein she expressed such viewpoints."

Here's another: What is the name of the weapon Buffy uses along with a sledge hammer to kick ass in "Anne"?
