I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I remember the jokes about the extremely spoiler-averse not wanting to know that the series was coming back the next year on a different network.

I have a friend who was in East Germany and she only watched the show on a multi-week delay after someone sent her the videotapes. She ranted on an X-Files mailing list about how THIS is how you end a show, goddammit!

... it was very funny.

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

Forgot to mention how extremely annoyed A was that none of the Scoobies suggested killing Ben (until Xander finally did) as the obvious solution to preventing the apocalypse.

S6 is delayed until the weekend due to real world rehearsals, which gives me time to cover the DVD box in plain brown paper to avoid spoiling the appearance of Dark!Willow.

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

It’s wild how fast y’all are getting through the whole thing. I mean, it makes sense, of course, but it’s still blowing my mind a little

Aeryn being in high school means I'm pretty lax about bedtime. I have been letting them know throughout that back in my day we had to wait at least a week between episodes and months between seasons.

(Uphill, in the snow. Both ways.)

Our wings are not tired.

Most shows I will wait until there is at least 2 seasons to stream so I don't have to wait.

I am seriously looking forward to the appearance of Dark Willow.

I definitely approve of zipping through! I'm mostly marveling that I am still apparently surprised , on some level, that you can. Even though binge watching is a fairly standard part of my media consumption, you;d think I'd understand how it works.

I feel like that might be related to how when Facebook wants to remind me that I've been friends with one of y'all there for, for example, 18 years my first two thoughts are "Eighteen years! Good lord!" and "Longer than that, FB, you don't even know" and it's a crap shoot which is first

Coin flip might be more appropriate in this case but I like crap shoot better

5 minutes into Afterlife and Aeryn has so far said "Why are they all assuming she was in Hell?" and "she needs to talk to someone who's not one of her close friends. You know what, she should talk to Spike."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Does Aeryn know what a smartypants they are?

I had forgotten baby Kal Penn is in Beer Bad! Aeryn immediately recognized him from House.

I had ALSO forgotten that slightly-less-baby Kal Penn was in TVG as the demon sending Cordy the bad visions.

Hivemind, help me remember - are there any S6/S3 crossovers where it's important to watch the Angel ep first? AtS moved to Monday nights in S3 and so the chronological viewing order is Ats -> BtVS, but it still feels like Buffy should go first.
