Ha! We had the same experience while watching it. "Hey, that's in Lee's apartment now!"

Embrace the oh-so-wrong hotness of the ConCord!
It's still a damn sight better than Angel-Cordy.

Yeah, I'll take giving Connor something real over "I'm only alive when you're inside me" any day of the week. At least the former was intentionally icky.

I'm watching "Ground State," and I just noticed that they shipped Gwen off to a school in Gills Rock, WI. This is where I go for the 4th of July every year. I noticed that while they chose hilly country (and Door County peninsula is moderately hilly), the hills aren't what you find there. The trees are wrong and the fact you can see bare ground between them? Nu and uh. Very green, very lush, and if'n it was fall? Leaves that had changed color already or dropped them. Oh, well, they did the best they could without leaving California.

Did anyone else catch her last name? The head-mistress (or whoever that was) called her parents Mr and Mrs Raiden.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, I cought that her name was Gwen Raiden when it was on, but I had not the Japanese folklore angle to say "Cool!"
So: Cool.

It's amazing how many pop- and non-pop-culture references the writers can fit into the Jossverse. I'd forgotten how fun it could be to research that kind of stuff. I may have to pay more attention to the episodes, start keeping notes again. I used to watch every episode a minimum of three times. Once, just to see it. Then a second time to take notes and a third to get the really fine points fleshed out. It got to be too much work, though, and some of the enjoyment of just going with the story went away. But breaking it down really made me appreciate just how much effort Joss and his writers put into developing their storylines and mythology.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, that's too funny. Raiden I caught, but I only made it back as far as Mortal Kombat.
I am heathen.

I probably only would have made it to Mortal Kombat, myself, if it hadn't been for my obsession with Big Trouble in Little China.
