Oh, I'm not. I saw the movie because, well, I am pro-JossThis and that I am a completist are mostly why I'll see it, and apparently, are mostly why I bought the FF DVDs, which I've hardly watched.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think Wesley's "I'll take away your bucket" was a bigger HSQ moment than anything Serenity delivered.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
So it'd be two people with vaginas, then. We have a lot in common.
What I meant was she lobbed a lot of softball questions and fawned. Just imagined that you two would take a different approach. Not sure what vaginas has to do with it

Definitely. As far as Wesley had gone by the end of Season 3, that one line showed us just how distant he was from "all the maturity of a blueberry scone."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Allyson's wondering what they have in common with the hosts, then, if you take away their trademark snarkery. Vaginas and an interest in the Jossverse and crackling chemistry, I'm guessing.

I think it was squandered, though. That level of amorality should have been shimmering right under the surface (or being fought against) the whole rest of the time. Even though he did dark things later, the bucket (while pleasing) seemed uncapitalised upon.

I've always thought a podcast was a better option for The Kristen & Allyson Show.
I doubt any radio station would let us smoke while we were working.

How 'bout that scene with Wesley in the hospital with the pillow and the "you understand I'm me, not Angelus?"
Because you screamed.

I did. It was cool, and not squandered at all. I think it was both earned, consistent, and surprising. Which is my favourite kind of moment. Delightful.
However, I didn't rank HSQs, so if you're looking for a rating for this, I can't help you. Moments are too different to compare.

Gah, I loved that.
