For some reason Buffy and Spike went into outer space to track an interstellar vampire. Only this blood-sucker is the- oh, I can't give away the spoiler. But, I loved the cameo of the non-Buffy property baddie! It was awesome! Then, there's the Guild. It's a web-comic come to print about a group of online gamers who meet up in person once a week and have oddball adventures. This time around, there meeting moves from Shoney's to the beach! The blended of reality and cyberspace is a clever plot device that lead's to some crazy antics. I've never seen this series before, but I am on the hunt! Very well written. Very Smart. If you like The Big Band Theory, you're gonna love this!

The Guild story. story needs to be witty and geeky, and it ends up being a rather generic comedy bit that could have been done with any set of sitcom characters in the same situation. Buffy gets to do her best Ripley imitation in between occasional moments of silliness. The serious scenes were pretty highly derivative, but were still effective. The silly moments (the friendly insectoid aliens eating all of Buffy's stakes, and so on) were less effective. Both stories were disappointing.
