'Shindig'
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 like the watch n post idea. I would vote for starting with BtVS and pulling AtS at the appropriate time.
And I didn't hate Voyager. Enterprise, now, well that's a whole different story. It was hard for me to even give it a chance, the theme song was so bad. But even when I muted the theme, the suckitude was still there. Altogether disappointing.
If we are still expressing support for the watch'n'post, I thought it was a great idea, I just wasn't sure I would participate because I only own the first 10-12 episodes and I've rewatched them way too many times already. But I could borrow the DVDs from my SiL and come along. Once a month would be quite nice.
It seems like I've read a fic like that. Or maybe just a theory.
In any case, it seems as if I should know who Peter David is, but I don't.
I'd be up for a re-watch and post too, especially since I was only around for AtS S5.
Count me in with those who intensely disliked TGiQ. The episode's only redeeming scenes were with AA/AD, for reasons already enumerated above.
Am I the only person who prefers AtS to BtVS? I'd be asking TPTB to re-fold back time and give me "Angel," though that would cause quite a conundrum if the show that begat it was never begotten. It's the show that pulled me lock, stock, and barrel into the universe.
I just wish the show would have ended with S4, plus something along the lines of "You're Welcome" and "Origins" to redeem Cordelia and Connor. Most of S5 did nothing for me, notwithstanding AA's incredible performance as Illyria. AtS felt very organic in characterization and plot (for the most part) from seasons 1-4, and S5 was sterile with few flashes of brilliance. I get the writers wanted to show where one ends up once he/she succumbs to the daily grind of life, but they ended up removing what makes most people get up in the morning, the idea of family and friends.
edit: Damn apostrophes popping up where they don't belong.

Not by a long shot.

Big shot comic writer, also writes sff and Trek novelisations.
Perfectly easy to not know who he is.
Am I the only person who prefers AtS to BtVS?
Nope.
Nope.
Any room left in that corner?
I wouldn't give up AtS S5 if only because of "Lineage". And "Smile Time". And, oh who am I kidding.
As soon as the AtS S5 DVDs showed up at my house, "Smile Time" hit the player. There are days I find myself with the Self-Esteem Song stuck in my head.
