Earth’s most beautiful woman is a Semitic caucasoid. And no, I don’t mean Natalie Portman, either. (Though I think she is too.) ---

She would have to grow up pretty quickly in such a role. Faith would still have made a better spinoff Slayer tho. ---

Of course. She was the one character I found hot back in the day. I was actually younger than her. And even now that she’s older I think she’s prettier than any of the others were back then, except Willow. (Although I’ll admit that Hannigan has lost a lot of her attractiveness since then. She’s just so generic now, both in how she acts, and how she looks. I’ll admit that I wouldn’t be watching for the show, though. I never watched Buffy because the people talking about it made it sound very unappealing. They made it sound like it was a snorefest if you were an intellectual. ---

I would have watched, but mainly because I would watch anything Whedon related at that time. I never thought it was a particularly good idea to continue with Dawn the vampire slayer - unless it was a single season of very campy sitcom stuff, ie very different from Buffy - but I would have watched it, for some time at least. ---

Crud. I left out a sentence in my previous post. I meant to add that I was totally wrong about Buffy. But I didn’t realize that until I got here. So, back when the show was on, I’d’ve only watched for the eye candy. ---

Yes, I’d have watched it. I’d have watched it religiously if it had Willow, Faith and/or Spike. ---

> [@A Monkey With a Gun](#): > > I’m not saying you should be ashamed of your transvestite fetish, but I really don’t think the network is going to go for that. Men have been wearing dresses and wigs on TV since before color(TV) was invented. All ya gotta do is call it comedy, or soap opera, or Lets Make a Deal. Do you honestly think WhinyPantsDawn is a more compelling character than TrannyXanny and the NerdSquad? Me thinks not.
