Bitty Buffy!

Isn't YouTube a fabulous thing?

Unaired Buffy Pilot


Lots of different actors - different Flutie, chubby 'Willow' (who looks like she's 16 going on 40. I know a lot of people don't like AH, but Willow wouldn't have been the same without her... can you imagine this girl turning dark?), no Jesse, no Angel. Lots of extras (like all the various groups that Xander points out).

Completely different library (and I love the way Buffy flips down the tall stairs), Giles is a delight and there's a lot more back-story to Buffy, but less about vampires. The storyline is a lot simpler - no Luke, no Master, no Harvest. Quite a few cool scenes with Buffy, and she seems to be lost in thought a lot, and yet to relish her powers more. Not quite as closed off as she comes across in WttH.

Was there more? Can't remember and I also have to run. Will do my best to catch up with comments asap.

Well...no, but I cringed my way through the version we DID get. I can't imagine much worse. I've vocally aired my dislike of AH and i think she proved her lack of range in that very storyline. I always felt she was on the brink of giggling and doing her breathy-stutter-speak.
