You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Early ,'Objects In Space'


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.

t regretting the lost AtS S6, wherein we might have gotten to see Connor and Spike having to deal with the family thing

I quite liked Integrated!Connor.

What is even happening?

I was thinking of suggesting (but then I started moving and got distracted) watching the episodes in order again together (maybe one per week) and talking about them. I didn't join until Season 5, so I missed 4 seasons of Buffista-talk.

I've been thinking of the same thing, for a long time. I can't do watch and post while it's going on. And a lot of the fun of watch and post (at least when I read through it) seems to be the surprises. For most of us, we're not going to have that with Buffy and Angel. We could start a rewatch thingie though, and do it right in this thread, and whoever wanted to could make it a watch-n-post experience, too.

  • Should we go in season/episode order?
  • Should we mix A:ts in, right from the beginning, or when we get to BtVS season 4?
  • How many episodes, how often?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The Angel/Spike stuff worked really well in the context of the Connor storyline, and the contrast from Angels POV of "blood" family to found/friend family.

Plus Angel (and DB) were always fun when someone/thing was annoying him and he had to put up with it.

Honestly, other than the Fred subplot, which wouldn't have fit, I wish TGiQ had been put in place of the WWII episode and that they expanded the end run an episode at least - everything else would have fit, I think, and they could have set up the Black Circle thing in a little less of a rush. An episode that light-weight wouldn't have bothered me early on. Other than some minor character notes for Angel, the submarine episode did nothing for me but meh - at least TGiQ made me laugh a lot.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I like Frank's idea. Assuming SMG were available.

I'm currently doing this with a friend of mine, and for the first season or so of Angel especially, it really makes more sense to wait until the right era.

We're on seasons 5 and 2, respecitively, right now, and I'm glad we held off on Angel, if only for Fool For Love and Darla going back to back.

However, if it meant losing the Fred/Wes/Burkles stuff completely, I wouldn't change it around - that was by far the most important part of that episode, at least for me. I think that could have worked with any episode where Angel was otherwise occupied, though.

I think that's a great idea!

Maybe once a month?

I'm sorry. I was falling in love with your tag. Did you say something?

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

Assuming SMG were available.

Why? She wasn't in the ep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She wasn't in the ep.

Which, to me, was a contributor to the suckage.

Hell, just knowing it was the back of her head would have eased my eye-rolling.

A little.
