No tea today, then :(

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago

We know what to do.

[–] DosDude@retrofed.com 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Rest in peace. First Xander, now Giles. Please be done for a while.

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 :(

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Wait, what??

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hadn’t even realized he was Rupert in Ted Lasso as well, he did such a great job of completely different personalities.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He played that role so perfectly. Vile and cruel, but still charming enough to be believable when he won people over.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Like every British person

They can't take James Marsters until he is done voicing Harry Dresden. I won't allow it.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm gonna have to watch Repo! this weekend. Rip legend

The one movie in which Paris Hilton is actually good

[–] Janx@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I thought she was decent in that sex tape.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That reminds me of how in old Star Trek they had those colored plastic data storage blocks, which they called "tapes".

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

IMO Pamela and Kim were better

That's three of the Scooby Gang no longer with us. Good grief.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who else is dead?? I thought Buffy, willow and and Seth green are still alive. Xander? Angel? Spike?

[–] TwodogsFighting 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Angel and spike are both dead.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

James Marsters (Spike) and David Boreanaz (Angel) are still very much alive.

[–] TwodogsFighting 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Angel and spike are both vampires.

UNdead. It's like dead, but it smells like onions.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 3 points 1 week ago

You are correct, internet person. 😀 Well played.

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure the actors are alive but the characters are dead. Or undead. Non-living? Mortality-challenged? Vampires? Vampires.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

Good call, good call.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I always remember him from one episode in Doctor Who. But he did a great job there.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He was great in REPO:The Genetic Opera

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For all the off-the-wall casting^1^ in that movie, he was kind of the theatrical glue that made it stick together (IMO).

  1. Freaking Ohgr and Paris Hilton are practically from different planets.
[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, I was surprised to see Ohgr and Paris in the same film. Lol

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And Marsters is in a few Torchwoods as Basically Spike.

“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.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rip TV Dad. ;-; This is one that hurts

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Yep! Thankfully I have !dadforaminute@lemmy.world as back up

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Damn, the Ripper finally called it in.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Damn, I literally watched the episode of Um Actually that was Buffy themed this morning. Everyone kept going off about how hot he was.

[–] Beth@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Loved him in buffy and loved to hate in Merlin.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Goodnight, Mr prime minister
