'Bushwhacked'
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.
Hey candyb! I miss you and our spoiler gang, from when Buffy and Angel were on. I hope everything is well with you.
Wow, 20 years since Surprise and Innocence. I mean, I guess I knew it, because I noted the 20th anniversary of the premiere, last year, but it hadn't registered.
I remember bits of that ad (from your link). That's when the show moved nights.
I think that was my favorite ad for the run of both series. It was early enough in the narrative that the possibility of one of Buffy's friends turning coat was really exciting.
I mean, I don't recall it being a huge mystery who it was going to be, as Angel just barely picked Buffy over Darla the previous year and he was all wistful and torn about Drusilla from her introduction in the second season. But still, very effective promo.
Aww! CANDYB!
I miss the spoiler crew days.
CandyB!! So good of you to drop by.
So, my student worker is interested in starting Buffy. I remember is having a discussion of a "starter pack" to hook people back in the day. I was thinking of recommending Pangs/hush/something blue, because that is my favorite run, but does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like starting with Season One might turn him off. It might be too dated. He likes X-Files and Twin Peaks as well, so he might like less funny episodes (I also like Band Candy and Intervention to rewatch)
I started with Becoming, pt. 2. It was super effective.
Welp. Accidentally got into a BtVS-related flame war on a friend's FB - he started out saying Avengers was the best thing Joss ever wrote, and I responded that Yoko Factor/Primeval came first & did it better. All in good fun! Then a third party jumped in and got VERY VERY ANGRY because I wasn't giving Petrie and Fury credit for writing those eps. And then he flounced off! It was like being on Livejournal all over again!
Ha! On Fury's birthday no less. It might take quite a lot more to tap my anger. Well done giving the dude an outlet.
I muted the thread so I could get some work done, so I have no idea if it was a permanent flounce or not.
LOL4EVAH!
