fenchurchMy calendars arrived from CedCo today (since I ordered them only a week or so ago, that's not bad turnaround time).
Things I like:
All new Spike pics!!! Finally! The photos used in the Spike calendar appear to all be from the last season of AtS. Hooray!
Unlike last year, the Spike calendar has some smaller inset photos (all of them screencaps from the show) in addition to the large posed photos that even have a few other characters in them.
In the BtVS calendar, the January page has a large picture of Buffy with three inset screencaps from the show with her various pairings... and they picked a really sweet one for Spike/Buffy (one of my favorite scenes between the two of them).
There's almost no Riley!!! I was utterly baffled by last year's BtVS calendar which still had quite a few pics of him.
Things I wasn't thrilled about:
I'm being picky and whiny, but I would have liked to see more group shots on the Spike calendar.
(And that's it for the Spike calendar, because really... how can you complain about 12 months of Spikey goodness.)
There are actually very few shots of Spike on the BtVS calendar and they're all in small inset screencaps.
There are even fewer shots of Giles on the BtVS calendar. C'mon people, Giles is hot!
Lastly (and it goes with the previous two), they put in six large studio shots of Buffy, one of Willow and one of Xander and three group shots (from seasons four and five, by the looks of them). There are twelve months, folks... and the show ended with, I believe, seven major characters. Why couldn't we have at least one month for each of them? That would have left five months to do whatever else they wanted. *sigh*
ETA: I just realized that's only eleven months accounted for and opened the thing up... they actually have SEVEN studio shots of Buffy (and yeah, I know it's her show, but Giles! Spike! Anya! Dawn!)
