3.0 out of 5 stars Who Edited This?, December 27, 2008

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 2009 Wall Calendar (Calendar)

This is your standard, typical monthly calendar -- and it's nicely done considering it's about a series that has been off the air for five years. Each month has a theme -- which is usually character- or theme-driven -- that helps pull it all together.

But this calendar has a real and discernible "ick" factor that I really, really, really hope was unintentional.

The photographic theme for January appears to have been "Buffy's Lovers," as there are individual photos of Buffy with Riley, Spike, and Angel, respectively. But for reasons I can't possibly understand, the calendar uses a still of Buffy and Spike from the season six scene in which he attempts to rape her; in point of fact, the specific shot shows Spike pinning Buffy to the ground with his hands clutching at her chest as she clearly cries out in anger and terror in her bathroom.

I'm all about the Spuffy, but I don't want photographic evidence of a cinematic storyline that highlights an attempted rape hanging on my wall for 31 consecutive days. I was surprised -- and pleased -- to receive this calendar as a Christmas gift. But I won't be hanging it up until February. And I hope the editor(s) of the 2010 calendar will be more aware.

This would be an excellent calendar, except that on the very first month you are treated to a picture of Spike trying to rape Buffy. How in the world did that make it out of the planning room? Who thought... let's use this picture, it was a happy scene. Or worse yet, who thought we were naive enough to not recognize one of the most horrific scenes from the seven seasons of Buffy put together. A poor choice.

If you have the 2009 calendar, you've pretty much seen the 2010, right down to the font. Each month has a large photo with three smaller inset photos. Here's the layout: January is Buffy, Feb is Xander with two vamp Xander pics that are too similar, Mar is Giles, April is Tara, May is Cordy - and the photo doesn't especially reflect the character, June is Anya with Xander because apparently a 1000 year old ex demon doesn't warrant her own month, July is Angel with Buffy, Aug is Spike (who gets his own large photo without Buffy), September is the core cast from the early seasons, Oct is the girls, November is Willow, and December is Dawn with no other characters and therefore a huge letdown. Riley Finn doesn't appear anywhere in the calendar although Adam does, so Marc Blucas fans will be disappointed. There is one inset of Kendra but no pictures of Faith. No Robin Wood. No Glory. No final fight nor any potentials at all. Overall it looks like someone picked a bunch of mostly early photos and made a calendar. It does not appear that person had a great appreciation for nor an understanding of the show. If you can find a better Buffy calendar, go with that one. If not, this is an ok substitute.
