We watched "Inca Mummy Girl" tonight. Not the show's most creative title, or concept for that matter: What if we mashed up "Teacher's Pet" and "The Pack" but made it South American this time??
Gotta say, one of the hardest things for me on a rewatch, 20+ years on and knowing what we now know about Joss, is how gross so much of Xander's behavior is. He frequently acts super possessive with Buffy, and when the girl he likes in this episode tells him through tears that she doesn't deserve him, he doesn't tell her how wrong she is; it actually seems to make him happy to hear her say that. Ick.

The meme we quote every time Adam does anything: [link]
The first time I watched this show we didn't even have chainsaws TikTok.
The horrors persist in the real world but in Buffy S5, Dawn is Aeryn's new favorite character. They posted about this on Tumblr using the "I have only known Dawn for 45 minutes but if anything happened to her (etc)" meme format and ALL of the responses were expressing earnest confusion because surely they remember Dawn has been there all along.
Never underestimate this fandom's commitment to a bit.
The line over on Tumblr is "my only committed relationship is to The Bit."
Warms my heart. I occasionally see the Ben-is-Glory jokes continuing here and there and it makes me happy every time
