Buffistas

Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

'Help'

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Film and TV discussion

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.

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

As expected, that was horrible and painful to watch. I'd honestly forgotten how much of that episode is joyful reconciliation, and how needlessly cruel this episode is in that regard.

Aeryn wants Willow to kill Warren, so at least we know that payoff is coming!

(And Spike's off to get a soul, tra la la.)

AtS, OTOH, has finally gifted us with the woobie to end all woobies, my most precious of precious babies, Teen Connor. Welcome back, Connor, and thank you for solving the ever-present problem of "how do we move the plot forward without the inconvenience of having a baby on set all the time."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I absolutely love reading Aeryn's thoughts on Buffy and Angel. Thanks for that.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

I'm just gonna stand beside Shir and nod a lot. What she said. (Hi, Shir.)

Aeryn was delighted with Dark!Willow and fully supports her decision to torture and skin Warren. (Sucking up power out of the pile of books remains a truly excellent visual.)

Most impressive was A saying "Bored now" at Warren about two minutes before Willow did. (It helps to binge-watch the show, when I saw this the first time, the original "bored now" was three years ago and not fresh in my mind.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dag, Aeryn's got the prescience!

How does she feel about Xander?

(I think through the historical lens his type of character looks worse to younger audiences. cf., Ross)

Do you think him saving the world with "crayon breaky Willow" will land?

Oooh, she's still got Giles' "I'd like to test that theory." moment!

When all the Buffistas yelled "Giles!" at the same time.

Truly one of the HSQs of all time.

Aeryn hates Xander with a passion that will easily outmatch the power of the Yellow Crayon. They are going to cheer so loudly when he loses an eye next year, you'll probably be able to hear it in California.

All of social media wants me to know that our little show is 29 today. Happy birthday Buffy.

All of social media wants me to know that our little show is 29 today.

But that would mean that those of us who were teenagers when the show aired are now in their 40s!

I'd better alert Rebecca Lizard and SA and Holli.
