Goofs

When Willow was trying to close the curtains from her bed, she said "claudete", which means the plural command of shut in Latin. Since she was only closing the curtains for one window, she should have used the singular form; claudere.

User Reviews

This is my favorite show ever...They should make a movie.

I really love this show. I was so upset it ended, but I am grateful to watch reruns on TV. As long as there on, I will always watch. I'm just a little disappointed that they only have it on weekends now. It used to be on week days. The channel put Malcolm in the middle on instead. I was mad, but at least I can see it still on weekends. I guess I'll just have to buy the series instead of watching the TV. I can't depend on T.V. to keep showing it. They always cut the good stuff out. Anyways, I just wanted to say that know matter how many times I watch it,I still get excited. I wish they would come out with a movie. That would be so awesome. I would pay anything to see it, and I'm sure Buffy fans would too. Thanks a bunch. Sincerely Alyssa
