No tea today, then :(

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 4 weeks ago

We know what to do.

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

Oh yeah, I forgot about Michelle Trachenberg. Now I'm sad

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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 😟😕

[–] SqueakySpider@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, too many :(

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wait, what??

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 20 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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 3 points 3 weeks ago

Like every British person

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 25 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The one movie in which Paris Hilton is actually good

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I thought she was decent in that sex tape.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

IMO Pamela and Kim were better

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

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

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] hedders@fedia.io 15 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I know, Dawn and Xander were so young ad well.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Angel and spike are both dead.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Angel and spike are both vampires.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 4 points 3 weeks ago

You are correct, internet person. 😀 Well played.

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Good call, good call.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks 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 11 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He was great in REPO:The Genetic Opera

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks 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 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, the Ripper finally called it in.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

BTW thank you for everything you do for Lemmy (for us)

[–] Beth@piefed.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

Loved him in buffy and loved to hate in Merlin.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Goodnight, Mr prime minister

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oof he was amazing in Buffy
