Things What Can Be Found on YouTube

*The opening credits of Buffy respliced so as to have different characters played by different actors:

1. Charisma Carpenter as Buffy; Ryan Reynolds as Xander; Sarah Michelle Gellar as Cordelia.
2. Elizabeth Anne Allen as Buffy.
3. Julie Benz as Buffy; Danny Strong as Xander.
4. Mercedes McNab as Buffy; Bianca Lawson as Cordelia.

* In pretty much the same vein, the credits for Kendra the Vampire Slayer (anyone recognize the theme song? I don't know what it is, but it seems to work) starring Bianca Lawson, Jason Behr, Elizabeth Anne Allen, and Robia Lamorte as Jenny Calendar. 

*krystenalyce2 seems to be, if not Krysten Ritter's actual YouTube account, then that of someone with access to a lot of what seems to be fairly exclusive material, including some original personal projects--all of it awesome. Check out everything; it's all worth it, but this clip of Krysten working as a sex shop cashier does sort of stand out.

*If Everyone Cared, a Kitty/Piotr AXM vid. The quality of the images isn't great, and it's way too long, but it's Kitty!

* A few XM movieverse, Bobby/Kitty (the X3 Kitty, of course) vids:

1. Story of a Girl
2. I Could Be Your Girlfriend (how much do I hate that song? you're better than that, Avril)
3. In the Shadows (the best of the three)
4. Girl Next Door (from Rogue's POV, which actually works a lot better)

*OMG, SQUEE! Fandom, look at this! A web series created by, written by, produced by, and starring Felicia Day--yes, it's Vi! As a gamer. Being awesome. I am so dead of squee right now. Seriously. (If any of you knew about this and didn't tell me, you are so fired.)

*Felicia as a misguided dominatrix. Yeah. Enough said.

The idea of reworking the title sequences. It makes me curious about what the characters could have been like.

In most (all?) of the cases, these were actors who were actually considered for those roles--SMG only showed up to audition for Cordelia, and Charisma for Buffy, and it was Joss's idea to switch them--so the possible worlds where those were the real credits aren't all that far from our own in logical space.

Have you seen the original pilot Joss used to sell the show, with Riff Regan as Willow? It's very . . . different.

I have, and it was.
