Tonight's Episodes - Something Blue & Doomed Something Blue Not my all-time favorite episode but it has its moments: 'Poodle hair' Buffy (I prefer SMG's looks during seasons 4 & 5 (Maybe because she wasn't dressed like 'jail-bait Buffy' anymore?) but who picked that hair style in that episode?) We see a window of what could be a dress shop or bridal shop (no name - just the single window with a wedding gown in it and some "wedding things"( tuxedos, etc.) listed on one side.) It was a store or two away from the Magic Box. A wild guess - the entrance to it was on the side "street" the Magic Box was on - I wonder if it was the same store Cordelia worked at during Season 3? Poor Riley - he does his driving as sex subtext speech and Buffy doesn't quite get it at first. Doomed We can see the name of the pizza place Xander worked for on his shirt - "Mr Smith's Pizza Delivery" Giles seems to have a decent map of Sunnydale for his 'commando tracking' - I wonder where I can get a copy. Why don't they put names on all of the mausoleums in Sunnydale? That one with the eye in a pyramid (The Illuminati's 'All Seeing Eye'?) - none of the other tombs we see in the cemetery in that episode have readable names. Is it "Historical Museum of Sunnydale" or "Sunnydale Historical Museum" ? It could be read either way. Or maybe "Historical Museum - Sunnydale". And is it the same one from "Inca Mummy Girl"? Location stuff... At this point... I must have 30 or more places on my working list that I'm not ready to put on the posted list. Finding places in Sunnydale is easy - putting them in my list... is taking time. I'll do another big chunk this weekend - hopefully clearing things off of my working copy. Watching episodes to double-check things takes time... maybe 'end-of-summer' was too optimistic for getting this done... 10:01:18 PM    Notes [] Another useful Buffy Info Site The Buffy Trivia website has quite a bit of interesting or unexpected information about the show. It seems to be fan-driven so the trivia that is there is there because someone suggested it to the site owner. This does mean that it isn't an exhaustive list of all things Buffy. For the thing that currently interests me... my location/directory list - what it has is correct but not even close to complete. I only saw one thing I hadn't thought about myself yet - the store selling bridal gowns in "Something Blue" - but I would have gotten it eventually as I work my way thru the episodes. It's list of educational establishments is very incomplete. It includes different places at UC Sunnydale but is missing several local high schools. And its list of hotels is missing a couple. Including the one Ethan stayed at which we actually have a name for. And I have doubts about a number of things it has listed - Is the Espresso Pump really on State Street? If the Sun Cinema is, then it is. There is a cinema/theater on State street but I haven't seen any proof that it and the Sun Cinema are the same place. And is Sunnydale Park really the name of the park with the lake that is next to the cemetery where Tara is buried? I think I'll stick with my plan. Confirming my information via canon (actually watching the shows) even if it is in a transcript or from a trusted source. It's just more satisfying that way. (And I don't want anyone to claim I "stole" the info from someone else.) 9:17:38 PM    Notes []
