Buffistas

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Film and TV discussion

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."

As I recall from reports from our source inside the writer's room (coughSCRAPPYcough) a lot of the writing staff was in recovery so the addiction metaphor was a little too easy for them to reach for.

But I concur, JessiMoon, they blew a character arc which could have stood next to Wesley's story.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ACTUAL CAR CRASH.

Man, I totally forgot the actual car crash.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think Trudy initiated the Trademark on Actual Car Crashâ„¢.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I never got the whole stealing sage thing. I'm pretty sure it grows natively in S. CA. Just go to an abandoned lot with a pair of clippers.

ETA: Which is the least of the arc's problems, I know. But as a would-be gardener, it bugs.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The arc would have been markedly improved if you'd been there to give them your sage advice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Best thing about binge-watching the whole series? Not having to wait 6 years for XANDER LIES to come back around.

(Also, S6 improves dramatically on binge-rewatch. There are still individual terrible eps - OH HAI Wrecked - but the emotional highs and lows make a lot more sense consumed all at once.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I always think of that "Where's the coriander, bitch?!?" quote from some review or recap in connection with Amy and Season 6.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
