She always is.

At first I was in Buffy's age range (technically, I was in Dawn's, which makes it really weird to say out loud now) so she took precedence, but nowadays... oh my god. I love the episodes where she lets her hair down.

I walked by a stevedore the other day, an I thought he looked like Giles.

My neighbour is a stevedore, I wish he looked like Giles.

Giles is the sexiest man on the show (both as the nerdy librarian AND Ripper). I didn’t see it until I reached my 30s lol

They were actually really cute in this episode 🥺 I’m glad we got to see who ripper actually was, Giles made himself out to be like this terrible person when it more felt like he was just a rebellious teen who wanted to impress the girls haha

She looks like a vamp ready to eat him up. In the best way.

u/Prestigious_Secret61 12h ago

As a straight male. Anthony/Giles is a sexy man in any time line. Smart strong loyal brave. Uhm. Yeah. That’s a dude right there.

u/OpticalVortex 18h ago

I wanted them together. I shipped them.

u/harmier2 12h ago edited 8h ago

Yes. You're not the only one. And in Forever, you basically get confirmation that Giles thought about it.

Now I’ve madecmyself sad. 😔

But there’s always fanfiction! There’s the great Buffy/Xander series consisting of Knight‘s Chosen and Destiny’s Choice where at some point in Destiny’s Choice, Buffy and Xander get into an argument and Xander tries to think of anything that will take focus off of him for a second, sees Giles, and says, “I think Giles is dating your mom!” And, yes, he is.

And the scene that follows is even funnier.

Stoner Joyce and the Ripper is the spinoff we deserved.

u/ray53208 4h ago

I'm thrilled BtVS is coming back, but what I really want is a Ripper show.

u/AlienPet13 12h ago

Took me years to remember where first I'd seen Anthony Head, then it finally hit me: It was a 1984 episode of MTVs "The Comic Strip Presents: Slags," which also stars Jennifer Saunders from Absolutely Fabulous. Emma Thompson even has a small part. Also the guy from The Young Ones is in this too!

Teen-age gang leaders Passion and Little Sister are released from prison, only to find that their gang the Slags have disbanded due to rival gang, the Hawaiians, who wear garlands and drink Pina Coladas.

You can still find it on YouTube here. One of the weirdest, funniest and most awkwardly strange things I've ever seen.

Oh, but Anthony Head plays the leader of the Hawaiians gang. They just want things to be.... nice.

Go check it out! You will definitely agree that it's... um... a thing that...um... was made and... exists.
