Rochallor posted:I was gonna say that UPN probably had less money to throw around than WB, but looking into it UPN won the bid by offering 2.3 million an episode version 1 million from the WB. Which is... weird, because I'd agree that the show looks noticeably worse in the last few seasons. Maybe some producer was embezzling some of it. The cast was probably getting more expensive that deep into the run, especially SMG and Alyson Hannigan in the early 2000s, since they were breaking out in mainstream stuff, too. I don't think Buffy looks worse in S6 + 7 though. Although come to think of it, maybe budget was a reason they spend so much of season 7 in Buffy's house just like they spend so much of season 5 of Angel in the W+H set. Plus, they were using CGI more often and it's not good.

Constantly using SMG as the face of the First instead of paying different actors,

Hulu has seasons 4 onward in 16:9 for some reason and I found my first goof. In the second part of the Buffy/Faith body swap two parter when the scoobies show up at the church where Adam's vampires are holding people hostage, Willow is visible and talking but Alyson Hannigan's mouth isn't moving. Clearly dubbed in later and wouldn't be visible if cropped for 4:3.

Dark Willow is so deeply cringe. Fremdschämen for quip kids in the 90/00s emo phase.

Rochallor posted:It's been a couple years since I last watched Angel, but I remember being pretty impressed with how Angelus was used in S4. It helps that it's a card the show plays extremely rarely, even when Angelus is an idea that baked into the title character. It's what, 3-4 episodes in this season and that one in the first season where somebody gives Angel ecstasy, and that it outside of flashbacks, right? I would say it’s the opposite, Angelus is a character they used far too much, and each time he would be written worse. If I remember correctly season 4 was the one where everyone was warned ahead of time that he would say means things to them, and they still seemed surprised by it.

I saw another one in the season 4 finale when Tara, Willow, Xander and Anya are in the ice cream truck in Xander's dream. Tara is talking but her mouth isn't moving. I could've found more but I haven't been actively looking. These are just the ones that stuck out so much I couldn't miss it. I forgot how weird the season 4 finale is.
