Aw, Casper is giving me a lot of feels, flea.
Some people juggle geese!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But who names their kid Xander?
Nobody! It's short for Alexander. But...you explained that.
and she should tell her mom, because like she's going to have to be constantly making up excuses, and if her mom knew, she could help her!
This suggests that you're doing a good job at parenting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have to say, on rewatch, (I'm up to Beauty and the Beasts), my almost-20-years-older self does not find Xander to be a lovable doofus. He's such a smarmy Nice Guy that it's making my skin crawl a little thinking I ever found that attitude charming or funny.

Our wings are not tired.
I am looking forward to getting back home and catching up with the current W&P.

There's a reason I was rooting for the murderous bloodsucking corpse (no, the other one) to win Buffy's heart back in the day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Xander always rubbed me the wrong way. But there's a lot of Whedon's humor that doesn't hit me as funny, so I thought I was just out of step as usual.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I loved Xander back in the day, but nowadays the self-righteousness makes me want to smack him a lot of the time.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
I never cared for Xander back in the day, but now all the over the top hatred (not from this board), makes me like him more.
I'm weird like that.

Some of it is probably being a bit more sensitive to Nice Guy entitlement now than 18 years ago. And I'm less fond of Joss than I was back then, which reflects on his early series authorial avatar.

We're about to watch S1E3, Witch. Casper looks over my shoulder, "Spike's Bitches? We don't even know who Spike is yet."
