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.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

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

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I don't think so. Didn't Angel get the phone call about Buffy being alive at the end of the season premiere? That should really come after Bargaining Pt 2, but you're already past that point in your watch and I can't think of any other crossovers those seasons.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Huh. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I don’t like it, vibes all wrong.
Unless they pull of the seemingly impossible and find a way to make the answering machine thing work today

I associate The Rockford Files so completely with James Garner's charm and the vibe of 70s California, I can't imagine anyone doing well in a modern remake. And I've not observed David displaying that much charm in recent decades (though he's certainly the celebrity with the strongest physical resemblance to Garner). Maybe they should have aimed a little lower, like a remake of Spencer: For Hire.
I suppose the answering machine thing could be voicemails on a phone Rockford is always forgetting to check. But you know whatever modern interpretation of the theme song they do is going to be vastly inferior.
