When we heard about Rio de Janeiro’s winning bid for the 2016 Olympics, we began pondering which fictional cities could make the perfect host for the 2020 round. We turned to the Twitterverse for guidance, and here’s what we found:

- @ShortNSweetShow: Sunnydale! There could be a vampire dusting competition. (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

- @ottovonw: I’m gonna have to say, the ‘tunnels’ under post apocalyptic downtown LA. (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)

- @Lunachique: Coeur de Couer would make a great Olympic city. We already know what an awesome pool they have and every day is sunny! (Pushing Daisies)

- @smallville331: #Smallville would be a great Olympic host, as long as there isn’t another meteor shower. LOL! (Smallville)

Which of these nominees gets your thumbs up?

A philosopher once said that “All good things come to an end.”  That philosopher: Nelly Fortado. Perhaps she was talking about relationships, but more likely she was talking about the series finales of quality television shows.

Today, E! Online has a list of the “Top 9 Best Ever TV Series Finales,” and Buffy The Vampire Slayer makes the cut at #5, right between Six Feet Under and Kids In The Hall. Friends famous season finale didn’t make the top 9, but I bet it was like 10 or 11. You can see the full list and story here.

Spike Spin-Off Series?

spikeSci Fi Wire met up with James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel who has been making the rounds promoting his latest film, Dragonball: Evolution.

Apparently Marsters and Joss Whedon have talked extensively about a spin-off series based on his famous character, Spike.

“Oh, yeah, when Angel was coming down, [creator] Joss [Whedon] came to me and said, ‘Do you want to do a Spike project? And I said, ‘Heck yes. In fact, whatever you want to do, whether it’s Spike or not, wherever I am in the world, just call me.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean it would actually happen, especially with both Buffy and Angel off the air (except for The WB.com!). Would you watch a series like this?

jamesmarsters370MTV is trying to figure out which vampires are better: the ones from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the super popular Twilight.

Of course, they go straight to the source and ask James Marsters, who played the loveable Spike on Buffy. Check out what he had to say.

Buffy Wins GLAAD Award

buffy-v8-wolves-at-the-gateGLAAD’s 20th annual media awards were this weekend, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer was one of the winners.

“How is that?” you might ask. “The show is no longer on the air,” you might say.

However, Joss Whedon kept the Buffy story going after the final television episode though the Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic book. Buffy won in the comic book category.

Congrats to Joss Whedon and the rest of the Buffy writers.

So the first annual Streamy awards ceremony was this weekend, and while TheWB.com had our share of nominations, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog and people associated with Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog took home a lot of the actual trophies. Dr. Horrible creator Joss Whedon also created Buffy , Angel , and Firefly , so we’re not surprised that the Streamys recognized his talent.

However, we didn’t go home completely empty-handed. Pink won an award for best directing.

For the full list of winners, check out the rundown from our friends over at Tubefilter.

And if you want to see behind-the-scenes photos of the big event, you can check out the flickr page or official site of Streamy’s photographer, Lan Bui. Jessica Rose has red hair now?

“Mercy” for Michelle Trachtenberg

Pilot season continues on, and I still don’t have a buyer for my show, 21 Jump Tweet, about a rogue cop who solves crimes using twitter.

On the other hand, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg, has some good news. She’s been cast in the pilot for the medical drama Mercy, where she’ll be playing a “tragically unhip nurse.” Tragically unhip sounds like a nerd with Lou Gehrig’s disease, but knowing Hollywood, Trachtenberg will just be playing a woman who wears glasses and a ponytail and doesn’t listen to T-Pain.

AOL TV has put together a list of the 50 Best Television dramas ever, and since it is on the internet the rankings are official. Buffy The Vampire Slayer got the #26 slot, with AOL saying:

“It’s the simple, yet spot-on accuracy of comparing teen life to Hell that’s the true genius of Joss Whedon’s masterpiece.”

Other than Buffy, AOL didn’t have a lot of love for The WB shows. We will keep that fact in mind when we do our list of the 50 greatest websites, AOL.
