Mini-Spoilers - S6E16 - "Hell's Bells"

[the literary exterminator]

Was she an AC/DC fan?

[Walker]

Unless there is a little known track that Patsy Cline or Kenny Rogers secretly recorded with AC/DC I would say no. Although if such a track did exist I'd love to hear it. And then lie down for a long, long time until the room stopped spinning.

[Scout]

Well, it might be hard for Patsy to do that from the grave, but I always heard Kenny was a closet rebel, so you never know.

[the literary exterminator]

Well, no Patsy or Kenny, but something almost as good. They even have ``Hell's Bells''.

Edited to add: I personally recommend ``You Shook Me All Night Long'', one of the few songs that can transcend genre.

laugh...

well if we hear any patsy cline or kenny rogers at the wedding I am definately going to be rewinding to turn it up loud and see what song!

AC/DC reference... thank you... I was hoping to find some symbolism to spoil my own mind with as to how the episode will play out

[AutumnT]

No telling if we are on the right track with the AC/DC thing, but we can call ourselves 100% accurate until someone proves us wrong.

Anyway here are the, er, uplifting lyrics:

AC/DC
Back in Black (1980)
Hells Bells

I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

CHORUS:
Hell's Bells
Yeah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See my white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if good's on the left, then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

CHORUS

I found this on a page called, "Nautical/Seafaring Jargon used by Landlubbers in Everyday Speech"

HELL'S BELLS AND BUCKETS OF BLOOD:
Meaning = Exclamation!

BTW, they also had:

SHIVER MY TIMBERS!:
Meaning = Expression of surprise - especially when a ship runs aground. Shiver is used in the sense of 'shatter' - splinter into pieces. ouch!

Maybe they have a bunch of ex-sailors on the writing staff.

[The Rose]

Is Tara in the wedding episode? I didn't see her Amber's name listed in the TV Guide. If Tara is not at the wedding, wouldn't that be messed up?

------------------
Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Tara: Nobody messes with my girl!

[xita]

If you want more spoilers about that you will have to go to the general spoiler thread. You can ask your question there

[JustSomeGuy]

I use this phrase all of the time, I got it from *my* mother, I think.
Also, the full phrase, as I remember it, is:
"Hell's Bells and Cockrel Shells!" so I guess it indeed has nautical origins-
(Eep. I just had a brief flash of Willow saying, "I'm very seldom nautical"...)

At tvguide.com, they have the following cast list:

Cast:
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, Anthony S. Head, James Marsters, Amber Benson, Michelle Trachtenberg, Emma Caulfield, James C. Leary, Kali Rocha, Andy Umberger, Casey Sander, Lee Garlington

In the description text they don't have her name, but, as you can see, in the cast list below the description they list her name.

well at least tvguide.com is saying she's there...

hopefully the lack of Amber Benson in the description line is a function of printable type space

Joy amber is in "HElls Bells"!!! I wonder if amber liked ac/dc....well they sound nothing like jeffie, but still.

Why is it that every time I see amber on the tele, my brain somehow gets sucked into it and my bumm becomes superglued to the couch...Im somtimes even late for work because of this.

Its like I get sucked into and amber vortex and I cant get back to this dimension until the movie/buffy or tv show is over. It not really bad thing but still does anyone else vist the amber or aly vortex frequently?

------------------
I see gay people......

There's no doubt Amber is in this ep. Lordy but those bridesmaids dresses are hideous. Pic of Buffy and Tara in bridesmaid dresses posted at HDC here http://www.hannigan.com/conclave/showth ... eadid=2543 by Slave 4 Aly

xita posted that pic in the spoiler thread earlier.

[xita]

Yes, I posted that picture earlier, sent from a nice anonymous source, I have posted a bigger pic since. I'll repost it here. And actually what was sent to me was much bigger, much much, if you want that version, you can mail me and I'll send it your way. It's a promotional picture, so not spoilery

[concrete]

What's with those frog dresses? Willow will have a fit!

------------------
It's not so much that I'm always right, it's just that I'm never wrong.....

[tommo]

nic, I love you. Why don't you love me?

------------------
Sweetie...I'm a fag.

[aladdin]

The pic looks like Tara's and Buffy's heads are much too big for their bodies. Weird.

[KathleenWolf]

thank you xita for posting the picture... at least it confirms Tara is in the ep...

whew... no Tara at the wedding scary thought!

"Are all you witches gay?" Buffy - Walking In Circles

[circe]

When my sister heard the name of the ep, she thought "cool, ACDC..." the whole seeing them live in concert thing... I agreed, but me being very literary ( ran a bookstore for last 15 years)... thought "Hells Bells" could mean Hell=demons; Bells= belles .... any one else think so?

[Scout]

When I first heard it, I thought it was describing a wedding on the hellmouth:

hellmouth = hell's
wedding bells = bells

[Rosenberg]

Well, if you could do away with the Carmen Miranda ruffles on the bottom and get rid of the oversize flowers, the dresses wouldn't be quite as hideous. I notice Tara's dress has long sleeves and has a higher neck line whereas Buffy's is short sleeved with a square neck line. Could that mean that Tara is the Maid of Honor? Of course, Amber would look beautiful even in the traditional burlap and blood larva. I wonder what the ushers are wearing? Maybe that's why Buffy has a look of shock and horror on her face. Or maybe she just caught a look at herself in the mirror.

------------------
I'm very seldom naughty

[MAJIK]

Not sure about the dresses, but I'm very happy to see that Amber is in this episode...for the most part. How many episodes will Amber have left now? I can't stand the thought of Taraless eps.!

'So hard to believe such a hot mama yama came from humble geek-infested roots.'

[supermus]

Tara was in 1-10, as well as 13 and 14. 16 will make her 13 ep this season, so she has three left in the 17-22 area.

Edited to add: Hey, where are they in that picture? It doesn't look like a set I've seen before. I don't think it's the Summer's house or Xanya's apartment. Are they maybe at Tara's new place?

------------------
Willow: Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

Tara: Horsies!
Willow: Don't hit the horsies!
Buffy: We won't! (to giles) Aim for the horsies.

That's assuming they don't sign her for more like they did last season. And I would not make that assumption.

[kitten scout]

Those dresses kinda make me want to run out and get some Lucky Charms. Is the wedding set around St. Patrick's Day? Glad to see Tara, green dress and all. This forum's name is The Kitten, The Witches and THE BAD WARDROBE, so those dresses are perfect!
