Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Willow ,'Never Leave Me'


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.

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

Women who were attracted to the 'bad boy' type were suddenly being told that they were wrong and that they'd suffer if they acted on their instincts. It left them sympathetic in many ways to the plight of gay people, who are also attracted to a certain type (the same sex, in this case) and are told by society that they are wrong because of something instinctive and inherent within them.

Wow. Just...wow.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Given the description on fandomwank I don't want to read and be spoiled for VM. But the excerpts you guys have posted are incredible. I WISH I had the kind of power that would allow me to unintentionally change whole swathes of feminine sexuality. Plus, wtf?

No. fucking. way! I was told that if I was attracted to the bad boy type he'd annoy me forever despite needing to be killed ages ago.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I will state again, the only thing I'm left completely sure of since Season Six Buffy is that Marti Noxon should not have been given a television show, she should have been given a blog.

For the rest of her life, she'll write stories of fucked up nubile teenage girls luring poor bad boys into the bear trap vagina of doom.

There's gotta be a support group for writers stuck in such a loop. Yawn.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Marti Noxon should not have been given a television show, she should have been given a blog.

Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.

S6 had more problems than Spuffy, but killing Spike would have been a good start. Killing him in a Jenny Calendar way, that is, not a they-killed-Kenny way.

If you killed Spike, who would make the most interesting story as his killer? Buffy? Willow? Xander? Drusilla? Angel? Faith?

The evil is this way?

Any of them would have been equally boring. The character outlived his usefulness and killing him would have been necessary, not interesting. Spike needed killing and the writers just wouldn't do it.

So blase, Narrator? It doesn't inspire any narrative intrigue at all?

Now see? That's entertainment.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If it had been pre finding out about the attempted rape (while she still trusted him), I vote Dawn.

Throw in Dawn dies too, and they should film it and show it every Christmas.
