No tea today, then :(

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago

Yeah, too many :(

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago

Like every British person

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

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

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The one movie in which Paris Hilton is actually good

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

I thought she was decent in that sex tape.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

IMO Pamela and Kim were better

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] hedders@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

Angel and spike are both dead.

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

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

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

Angel and spike are both vampires.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

You are correct, internet person. 😀 Well played.

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Good call, good call.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

He was great in REPO:The Genetic Opera

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

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

Damn, the Ripper finally called it in.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Beth@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Loved him in buffy and loved to hate in Merlin.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Goodnight, Mr prime minister

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oof he was amazing in Buffy
