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.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

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

Matt-
Pretty sure that was MBTV/TWOP. Ace and Sep were pretty good when they were snarking on actual problems with the episodes, catastrophically less so when they tried to make it a statement about the show as a whole.

As much as I disliked later Season 6, early on Buffy looked fantastic. Being resurrected from the dead may have screwed her over emotionally, but damn, did it involve one hell of a makeover.

One of my friends just texted that she is starting a Buffy re-watch and I felt compelled to explain I am still on a message board that started with Buffy and why is she not rewatching WITH ME.
