RTD does a better Buffy than Buffy.
Not in Season 2, he doesn't. Joss's Season 2 caught fire; RTD's Season 2 was loose and sloppy and all over the place. I have fingers crossed for S3.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
(What is RTD?)

(Thank you. You may now continue your regularly scheduled chat.)
(I have been watching Dr. Who on Sci-Fi, but it didn't really catch my fancy until this last episode.)

I don't know -- PotW is cool but I kind of love "Primeval" because it's the partnership of Buffy AND the Scoobies that allows her to access that power.
Of course, Season 1 of new Who is SO MUCH better than season 4 of Buffy (overall).

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

S2 isn't done yet, is it? It seems a little early to assume the threads won't get brought together in the final arc.

Hm. I had the impression that while Davies was credited for many good things about the show, his actual scripts were the weakest by far.
Although the complaints I've seen about Davies are very similar to my complaints about Whedon, so maybe it's a good comparison after all.

It isn't so much a matter of threads as it is of inconsistent characterization. One episode ends with two characters on serious outs, and in the next they are completely chummy. A character will be stupid and clingy one episode, independent and resourceful the next.
As I said, they needed somebody saying "Willow wouldn't DO that" and "But Cordelia dissed Angel two episodes ago; why's he going to her now?"
[Actually, I said that somewhere else, not here. Whoops.]
