I wonder if they'll keep Rockford's car getting destroyed in one episode and then inexplicably fine the next. (I don't remember how many times that actually happened on the original show but I definitely remember it happening.)
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.
I'd forgotten how much heavy lifting Flooded does in setting up the rest of S6. You've got Buffy hanging on by her last emotional thread, Willow's deep-rooted insecurity rapidly becoming dangerous instead of cute, introduction of The Trio...it's a lot for an ep I mostly remember for No! More! Full! Copper! Repipe!
(This is also the ep when Angel finds out Buffy is alive again and they reconnect offscreen between episodes, and so one of the few times in the seasons when watching in broadcast order would have made more sense, but oh well.)
Aeryn likes the Trio, thinks they're funny. We'll see how long that lasts.
You will all be shocked and amazed to know that OMWF still absolutely fucking rocks.
(Except the bit where homophobia saves the day at the end. That was a stupid twist the first time around and really hasn't aged well.)
Aeryn on Willow's general allergy to accountability:
"But have you also considered that she is tiny and cute and nothing bad should ever happen to her?"
So insightful!
"But have you also considered that she is tiny and cute and nothing bad should ever happen to her?"
Right? Aeryn is Wise.
Last night was double Buffy so that Ethan could watch OMWF, so tonight we had an AtS double bill of Billy and Offspring.
I referred to Billy as "the primordial misogyny episode" and Aeryn was surprised to hear Lilah use that phrase verbatim - they assumed it was a Buffista-ism. 😂
I love BitterPregnant!Darla so much.
Aeryn has dubbed Shahjan "the nonbinary demon from the Woke Dimension" since he (a) introduced himself to Holtz as "not a man but...masculine" and (b) can shapeshift.
