No tea today, then :(
We know what to do.
Rest in peace. First Xander, now Giles. Please be done for a while.
And Dawn :(
Oh yeah, I forgot about Michelle Trachenberg. Now I’m sad
What? Aww hell, man. In spite of Buffy I remember her most as Harriet the Spy, one of my daughter’s favorites. It says she died of complications from diabetes and had had a liver transplant. I never would have guessed any of that.
wait… WHAT???? Aww 😟😕
Yeah, too many :(
Wait, what??
I hadn’t even realized he was Rupert in Ted Lasso as well, he did such a great job of completely different personalities.
He played that role so perfectly. Vile and cruel, but still charming enough to be believable when he won people over.
Like every British person
Rip TV Dad. ;-; This is one that hurts
Yep! Thankfully I have !dadforaminute@lemmy.world as back up
That’s three of the Scooby Gang no longer with us. Good grief.
I know, Dawn and Xander were so young ad well.
Oh wtf Nicholas Brendan died March 20th this year (2026) wtffff
I am now sad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Brendon#Personal_life
Who else is dead?? I thought Buffy, willow and and Seth green are still alive. Xander? Angel? Spike?
Angel and spike are both dead.
James Marsters (Spike) and David Boreanaz (Angel) are still very much alive.
Angel and spike are both vampires.
UNdead. It’s like dead, but it smells like onions.
You are correct, internet person. 😀 Well played.
Sure the actors are alive but the characters are dead. Or undead. Non-living? Mortality-challenged? Vampires? Vampires.
Good call, good call.
Will it be awkward for a new Buffy series to reference Scooby Doo since SMG was in it? Like when Marvel references the Big Lebowski when Jeff Bridges was in the second Iron Man.
I’m gonna have to watch Repo! this weekend. Rip legend
The one movie in which Paris Hilton is actually good
I thought she was decent in that sex tape.
IMO Pamela and Kim were better
That reminds me of how in old Star Trek they had those colored plastic data storage blocks, which they called “tapes”.
Agreed!
I always remember him from one episode in Doctor Who. But he did a great job there.
He was great in REPO:The Genetic Opera
For all the off-the-wall casting1 in that movie, he was kind of the theatrical glue that made it stick together (IMO).
Yep, I was surprised to see Ohgr and Paris in the same film. Lol
And Marsters is in a few Torchwoods as Basically Spike.
Which episode was he in?
“School Reunion” (Season 2, Episode 3 of NuWho). It has the return of Sarah Jane Smith and he was the headmaster of the school they were at.
They can’t take James Marsters until he is done voicing Harry Dresden. I won’t allow it.
Damn, the Ripper finally called it in.
RIP Ripper
BTW thank you for everything you do for Lemmy (for us)
Loved him in buffy and loved to hate in Merlin.
Damn, I literally watched the episode of Um Actually that was Buffy themed this morning. Everyone kept going off about how hot he was.
Goodnight, Mr prime minister
Oof he was amazing in Buffy
