Even though almost everyone automatically thinks of Sarah Michelle Gellar when they hear of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she wasn't the first actress to take on the role. That would be Kristy Swanson, who played Buffy in the movie that came out before the series hit television. Now she's going to be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of the next season of Psych.
According to TVGuide, Swanson's character is Marlowe Viccellio, described as "mysterious." Lassiter notices her, but Shawn and Gus think she's the one responsible for a "vampire-style" murder "after the police find a blood-drained body." So this time, instead of playing the character that hunts vampires, Kristy Swanson is potentially playing the vampire-like character in the episode, "This Episode Sucks." That's a nice play on words in the episode title, don't you think?
It sounds like it has potential to make for a pretty funny Psych episode, and it will be interesting to see just what the "vampire" twist turns out to be. Criminal Minds had an episode, "The Performer," which had the BAU team looking for an unsub that behaved like a vampire—all because of the persona a rock star took on onstage. Will this turn out to be similar?

It was awesome to see Kristy Swanson, the original Buffy! When I first heard she was going to guest star I was so excited, and from the first scene, she really stole the show.
ReplyDeleteJust seeing Kristy again in the vampire bar (watch the scene at http://vimeo.com/31395805 ), and the music at the beginning (The Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and She's My Suicide by Minutes Til Midnight) got me so giddy, and I was totally immersed into the episode the rest of the way.
