Damn, the Buffy threads are indeed empty
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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 SMG just posted on Instagram the moment where she hired the lead for the new Buffy show.
It's the young actor who plays Fern on Skeleton Crew.
So charming.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very sweet!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, I'm trying to convince Aeryn that it's time to start BtVS, and Dylan kept jokingly suggesting eps we should watch first (Restless a surprisingly strong contender!)
Somehow this led to me saying something about not having the option to watch episodes out of order the first time around and BOTH of my children insisting that "you could dvr it and watch it later" and me explaining that, no, 1997 was before DVRs, too, and going into the history of When Come Back Bring Tape.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and going into the history of When Come Back Bring Tape.
Which is how JZ and I got together.
I first met her at the S5 Finale party she hosted in Berkeley. But early in S6 I missed an episode and we realized that she worked around the corner from me at UCSF, so she walked down and dropped the tape off with me.
And thus began the Hanging Out (which lead to the Making Out).

Our wings are not tired.
Oh that does bring back lovely memories. Thank you, once again, with feeling, for bring us together, Buffy.
Now the notion of having to wait until next Tuesday at a specific time for the next episode is bonkers. Streaming was the best thing ever for my television viewing preferences. No doubt I do still have some tapes around in a box from days when recording was the only way to watch when convenient. Now I like to see a few seasons available before starting something new.

I still have all my tapes: the complete runs of Buffy and Angel, plus pretty much everything else I taped while VCRs were a thing. The Whedonverse tapes live in a couple of media shelves in my office rather than being incorporated into my living room decor now, and all the other stuff is in milk crates in my storage building (probably unplayable at this point if I had a working VCR).
