This was in "The Replacement." IIRC, he was doing it convince Willow he was the real Xander.

That would be a true thing

Ok, here's an essay question that doesn't sound like an essay question. There are at least 3 answers, so see how many you can give. You will need to explain your answer.

When is Buffy's birthday?

la la la .... pretend I didn't miss an eniter page there... (I did get the right answers though)

ok, Buffy's birthday. In 'I Robot, You Jane' it's given as both 24 October 1980 and 6 May 1979, in 'Nightmares' (and 'The Gift') her gravestone doesn't give a precise day but lists the year of birth as 1981, and in 'Doomed' she says she is "Capricorn, on the cusp of Aquarius" which means her birth date is somewhere between 17 and 20 January 1981 (which fits with when the birthday episodes were actually aired). So Buffy is anywhere between 23 and 25, depending on when she was actually telling the truth.

Excellent, Bevis. I am amazed (and a little concerned) that you know all this. The next question is yours, my friend.

heh heh. I didn't know it all off the top of my head, but I did know where i could find it. Actually I have to admit that I knew which episodes here borthday is referenced in without looking it up which is starting to get a bit obsessive.

OK, so keeping with the birthday theme, what does Anya tell the council her birth date is, and where was she born? (Bearing in mind this is just what she told them, not what is actually true).

July 4th - somewhere in Indiana - Hinckley, I think.

And the year? Nah, that's so nearly a full answer that I think we can safely assume you know the year

Actually, I have no idea what year, but I seem to have the go-ahead, so here we go...

Earlier, someone asked how many slayers we have seen in the Buffyverse. Along that theme, how many slayers have been mentioned - but never seen?

Mentioned but not seen? oooh. Well I think in the first episode it mentioned two in the intro but we only saw one of them. One certainly remained un-named but I can't think what the other one was called. i think India Cohen, Buffy's predecessor, was mentioned as well but we certainly haven't seen her. There was the Korean girl that Sid the Dummy knew as well. i don't think she got named either though.

Oh, and Anya's birth year was 1980 (I think. Could have been 81, but my reference stuff is all at home).
I'm sure there must be more than that though.

Well, there were several thousand mentioned but not seen in Chosen

I've never seen the first ep intro (Is it on the DVD?) so I can't say yay or nea there. The only time I recall a specific slayer mentioned - but never seen - is the Korean Girl mentioned by Sid.

Bevis, where was India Cohen mentioned?

Anyway, take it away, Bevis.

Actually I'm not sure if India is mentioned or not or whether she's just been established in the novels. The intro bit from the first ep, as far as I'm aware, was only ever shown when the series first premiered and has never been shown outside the US, included on subsequent repeats or been kept on the video/DVD releases. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if it's on the DVD *somewhere*.

OK, in the movie of Buffy there is a young actor playing basketball in a no 10 shirt and a young, plump waitress called Charlotte. Both went on to bigger and better things. Name them both.

OK, just to make it a bit harder the actress who played Kimberley in the film also went to to better things. In fact two of the three have won Oscars and the other one I'm sure has loads of awards. Only one of them actually is credited in the film though...

Hey, I'm curious, and this is certainly a good place to ask. How good are the Buffy comics and the Buffy novels? I think the Buffy comics have been discontinued, but I am curious about what hard-core Buffy fans think about them. A quick review anyone? Thanks!

(Sorry for posting this within the trivia thread, but I figure only real Buffy fans would check it.)

Not sure about the comics (although if you go to www.bbc.co.uk/cult/buffy then they have a few of the comics on-line as a sampler) but the nvels are... well, they're a mixed bag. Some are great, some are utter pish. Very few of them are of the same quality as even the weaker episodes of the TV show but most of them are at least an entertaining read. If you can find them in the local library give them a look and don't be put of if the first one you read is a bit sucky since the next one might be good. The 'Tales of the Slayers' collections, with short stories about Slayers prior to Buffy are pretty good though.

Well, I know Hilary Swank is in the film - I don't know the others though. Wish I had the movie so I could see what you're asking about.

Hilary Swank is indeed one of the three (Kimberley) and of course one of the two to have an Oscar. If no-one else gets it by tonight I'll give a couple of other hints.

Ok, since no one else got it, I checked out imdb and found it was Ben Affleck and Ricki Lake.

Indeed it was lance. Funny how some of the bit part players now have huge careers and the star of them film is... uh... who knows?

Well, the star of the film is in my dreams most every day. *sigh* Kristy Swanson, a stake, and some red jello....mmmmmm...huh? what? Oh, ok, I'm back....here we go...

Name all of the actors in the show who have played more than one character. By actor I mean someone who had more than 5 lines in each part, and they have to have played a completely different character. (The 2 Xanders and evil Willow don't count. )

Are we talking just about Buffy here or about Angel as well?

Assuming we are talking about both off the top of my head I can think of the guy who played Luke and The Judge, the guy who was the Vampire in 'Lies My Parents Told Me' who was also in Angel as... someone else and didn't the guy who played Caleb turn up in Angel as well as Firefly? Unfortunately i can't think of the names of any of those off the top of my head.

And of course there was Tom Lenk who played one of Harmony's minions in 'Real Me' (I think) before going on to play Andrew. I'm pretty sure there are others though (and I assume we're discounting all the actors that played The First at various points).

I was just talking about Buffy. The 2 I had in mind were Tom Lenk and the guy who played Luke and the judge. You're up, Bevis.

Ah, you might want to ask the question again lance then coz I asked the same question earlier on in the game. I can come up with a question if you want, but I think it's only fair you get to ask another one.
