Thanks to PopCandy for linking to this unaired Buffy The Vampire Slayer pilot. It has some plot points in common with the real pilot, and the hair/weight/clothes of the cast members, and casting in general are very amusing. Particularly the ridiculously bad Willow, who they cast as 100% pathetic instead of geeky/loveable with a babe underneath. And check out the various fonts -- title credits, The Bronze. AND! Jonothan was in it! Ha! A lot of the seeds were there, but the way the characters and dialogue were polished for the real deal is pretty interesting. To someone like me. Who was/is obsessed with Buffy. Forever. And always.
