I think SMG would have to be a random character, or better yet a random vamp character. I could maybe see Spike come on TB with some quippy line about how good it is to finally 'come out' or something, but other than that I feel that the styles are too different to have any believable connections. Unfortunately I don't think any of this will ever happen....but we can still hope. I think it would be hard to have the worlds come together, although that would be great.

Buffy, as well as Blade, were both mentioned in one of the earlier seasons of TB, which I thought was interesting and clever. To see some kind of connection that would bring the worlds together would be fascinating, but I don't know how it would happen. I mean, the vampires created within Buffy are very different from the ones created in TB. However, it would bring me great joy to see SMG on TB, even if only for a few seconds, whether she be playing Buffy or some other random character.

And I love bringing that up to my friends who say Buffy was stupid (!?) because there were too many mythical creatures in the show..But you are right with the countless boundaries Buffy broke, and how many shows take the concept of a strong female lead with a supernatural power. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a SMG appearance in TB (I know, I know) Until then, I'll be waiting for the next episode ;) while watching my Buffy dvds on the side!

And I agree that Buffy is the BEST! However, I am currently having this debate every Sunday after watching TB with my fiance. He was never into Buffy, but loves TB. He argues that over time TB will gain more popularity and a higher rating in 'cult classics'. I think he is wrong. I am a true Buffy fan, and think its cult standing will last forever. Especially because Buffy was the show that broke so many barriers, that lets other shows, ie TB, be the shows they are today. There are a lot of similarities between the two.... Vamps being just the intro to more demons, shapeshifters etc, and the duality of good and bad vamps, hello Angel,Spike(my love)? Among others. My God, I could write a dissertation on this stuff! I love them both, but will always hold Buffy in higher standing!! I agree with Jaal, I love BOTH! And I agree that Buffy is the BEST!

Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting ability is better to me than Anna Paquin's (who I think is great)..And I like how in Buffy vampires are much more darker and mysterious and not fighting for human rights like in True Blood..

Redneck vampire with switchblade >snikt< teeth? Dumb. Drawn-face hellspawn doing the turnaround Reveal? It works. Verdict: You're not crazy. That does look fake and ridiculous.
