  • I only have one word for this, some words of wisdom from someone called Mike Mizanin.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEE­EEEEEEEEEEEESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is so sad because "Ripper" was a project actually in development but ended cancelled just as the "Spike" and "Faith" projects. And I heard about a "Willow" one. It'd be bloody nice.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Life.

  • @TheSecondEvolution Joss Whedon said he might make Ripper, so it's still possible he'll revisit the spin-off idea. It did happen for Angel. I think it's an excellent idea!!

  • Shame this show never happened...

  • question what i saw here was absolutly in credible ...reallly well done .. may i ask do you do requests? becuase i have an idea i think would be interesting

  • its a shame joss actually did scrap the idea of a giles spin off years ago after season 5 of buffy

  • No, no, no sir.  No more chick pit for you. XD

    I'd watch it.

  • oh hey nice ^^ my favorite ripper trailer xD but question....what font did u use? for the cast names? seems cool sorry bout the intrusion

  • I´m glad that Robin Sachs appear in your version! I really want him to be in "Ripper" and I hope that the end which Joss has wrote for him in the comics won´t happen.

  • Um.... Where the hell is Buffy?!! And Willow and Xander and Anya? All 4 of them are so much closer to Giles then Dawn and Andrew are. Grr.... also I personally don't think the music was very fitting, but that's just me. could have been better.... sorry.

  • @Applemysteries Okay, I'm going to correct myself. :) The song does fit Giles, and I can see Andrew now. However, I would still have included Willow at least, maybe not Buffy seeing as they do tend to go there seperate ways. I know Anya's dead, but hey I would still put her on. Oh, and WHERE IS FAITH?!?!?

  • lol im noticing almost all the spin offs have tom lenk is he really that popular or just a character with a loose enough background story to place in any series?

  • where is 17 -19 seconds from ( or what episode )

  • I couldn't tell you the name of the episode, but if it's the on I'm thinking of it's 2nd season, in the later half, ya know with Angelus. It's the one about the boy who dated the teacher's ghost haunting the school reliving the moment he killed her over and over again.

  • Wow! When/If they make this series they'd have a hard time trying to top this wouldn't they :D Nice work!

  • ya i thought it was a real show to and i fliped out cuz i wanted to see it i still really want to watch it even tho its not a real show but it should be.... i vote that it should be a real show whos with me?!?

  • It would make sense that Andrew would be in Ripper because he is a Watcher in traning

  • wow you did such a good job when i first watched it i thought it was a real show that was out there wow good job love the song

  • oh, yeah. i'd watch this if it were a real show

  • Here's the thing. It is a real show. It was scheduled to start filming in the Summer of 2008, however, Joss Whendon had too much in his hands with the Show Dollhouse and Buffy Season 8. If it does go produced, It will air on one of the BBC Channels.

  • Wow, cool work. 5*

  • I definitely like that, your making me very excited...

  • I still heard last year that Joss Whedon is still working on trying to get it done he's got several episodes written up as well as a movie, so I'm just gonna keep on waiting for it...

  • I heard, from Tony Head (not me personally, I mean he wasn't talking to me, more's the pity), that it was a definite possibility but as a one-off or possibly feature length thing.

    He talked about the story Joss Whedon had for it and that he was blown away by the idea... and he wouldn't talk about what it was.

    Apparently, the idea of calling it Ripper has gone... too much like The Ripper... it would be The Watcher.

  • The credits where great but the song doesn't seem Giles-y or Ripper-y. Why would Dawn be in it I mean I get Ethan and Andrew a little (Watcher in training) but why Dawn?

  • Because Dawn is Watcher Junior?

  • also cuz Dawn is very close to Giles

  • Good stuff. I'm just curious, though. In your interpretation, would Ethan Rayne be the series' main villain, or would his time as a prisoner of the Initiative have reformed him? Or is he somewhere in between, sort of a "gray hat" like Spike was?

  • gray hat, work release from the initiative.

  • It sounds better with the Buffy theme playing I had to mute the song to this video either then the song the video itself is good...

  • i really like this vid, i've had it favourited for a while now but just had to ask, what is the song you used? i think it's great =]

    x

  • "Until the Day I Die"--Story of the Year

  • I have to say these credits are all wrong because if there was a Ripper credits Joss Whedon said it would be all about Giles in England so Andrew and Dawn wouldn't be there they'd be with Buffy in Italy/Rome

  • freakin awsome!!! x

  • ***** (5 stars) really good :D

  • i dunno . i thought the series was dead in the water till i looked on wikipedia recently . it appears its actually going to be made this year .

  • A TV movie is being made. Funded by the BBC.

    Supposed to be finished this summer.

  • I just researched the ripper thing and it said that they aren't planning it now because joss and Head are too busy at the moment but hopefully it will be made at some point because the BBC are on board to show it so fingers crossed. There's suppose to be a Spike movie at some point too but i don't think that would really work...

  • they cancelled the spike movie, idk why tho...

  • Yeah, it will be made but no now, and that is exactly what we're waiting on I'm hoping that sometime soon we'll get to see Ripper. I also looked it up and discovered something about a mini series on Ripper? As well as a movie it said that on wiki but you can't always believe that site lol but I am just eagerly waiting to see Ripper I could care less about a Spike series...

  • The series "Ripper" has been mooted since season 6 of Buffy and odds are that the idea will continue to be mooted. The hard facts are it'll never happen because the UK terrestrial channels are lightweight in comparison to their American equivalent.

    Even by a stroke of fortune that it does happen, the budget for the show will be well below even the WB standards which means that Joss wouldn't be able to make the show that he wants and the fans wouldn't see the show that they want to see.

  • seriously? i hope so. how wud i find out more about upcoming buffy spin offs?

  • it would be nice to see one soon would nt it . i dont know what josses dollshouse is like but i kind had a luke warm responce to firefly and serenity . possibly because the western feel in outer space seamed a little cliched to me . i think had it been given a chance it would ve evolved into a fave tho . i ve a feeling joss like gene rodenberry has one great concept and buffy,angel and any future spin off is it .

  • Actully I think that the stuf he did with firefly and serinity is by far his best work.I love Buffy and Angel but I feel that Firefly and serinity were better

  • whats the song

  • It's Until the Day I Die by The Story of the Year.

  • did i see a clip from jeepers creepers???

  • Also, just pointing out that in both Buffy and Angel no bad guy has ever been in the opening credits (except for Spike and Willow, but they were good for the majority of the season) and so Ethan would probably need to be a good guy... which is weird :P

  • Well he and Giles were friends.

  • He could still be evil but work ing with Giles to get a common enemy

  • I thought it was an incredibly INCREDIBLY good opening credits sequence. My only advice would've been to have used less clips towards the end. The song sorta slowed down and the clips..well.. didn't :P. But besides that, good job!

  • I think you need to use a different song. It doesn't fit Giles at all

  • Oh and, Psh, kind0blue, you're wrong about the song not fitting Giles. He's always putting himself before others and junk like that and that's one of the ways that the song can be interpreted so nyah :P I love how I commented this video 3 times, but that's only because it's so amazing :D

  • cool, but - ethan would NEVER be in the show as a main character. as a season finale baddie, yes!

  • So f Awesome .!!!! 10/5 ;D .. Make more :D

  • If only, if only...

    Lovely vid, liked the font.

  • I hear that is is post buffy and i think post angel because he is coming out of retirement to solve ghost mysteries or somthing of the sort

  • good editing... love it

  • excellent choice of clips and music very well edited together! 5 stars! if it weren't for ethans death in the comics, it looks almost canon (not that death ever stopped angel & spike lol).

  • It was actually confirmed that their will be a Ripper spinoff at Comicon 2007!!!

  • Now this one is tops, in my book. You got the right cast, provided IF the writers of the show, write better lines for Andrew, & stop making him funny, & more of a serious fighter, like I did in my Fan Fic called Slayers, where he teams up with Shannon...

  • oh I realy want to see the ripper spin of. this was realy good

  • What song did you use?

  • I havn't seen a theme for Giles before. Definently one of the better theme videos though.

  • Excellent! Perfect cast. Very few of these Buffy spinoff credits work and this one definitely does. Great use of "cenobyte" too :P

  • very nice. Ripper does need some more screen time...and I can definitely see something like this happening after the whole sunnydale blowing up incident instead of that weak version of buffy in rome joss tried to feed us.

  • Nice work! Joss was working on a Ripper spinoff - I hope that's still on his to-do list, because I would absolutely LOVE a Ripper spinoff. Heck, I'd pay to get the BBC just to watch this show (I live in America). Giles is such an excellent, interesting, fun character. Oh, pleeaaase let him have his own show!

    Indeed, telmj, we ought to sit down w/Joss and have a long chat.

  • What a great video. Cool choice of pics, cool song to go with it. Gives me so much appetite for a show we'll never see, I'm afraid. Ripper kicks some serious ass! :)

  • Oh, I want it to be real, why can't it be real?

    Love the vid, and I love your idea of how 'Ripper' would be, and your character choices, all my favorites!

    Shall we go and have some stern words with Joss?

  • Another great vid, especially like how you decided to do a theme for a Giles spinoff, as RubyRed05 said, it's not something you see a lot of

  • Oooh! I love this idea! You don't see many giles spin offs, and he was one of THE best characters in my opinion!
