'Out Of Gas'


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

Well first off, they were using the Shaky Handheld Camera of MASSIVE TRAUMA as a cheap and easy shortcut to "realism." Second, I didn't recognize either of the characters. It was like they'd filmed SMG and JM workshopping a scene from another show (possibly a training video for "Directing 101: How To Film A Really Clichéd Rape Scene"). The delivery was just...off. All of which added up to my having zero visceral reaction to the scene, and instead being more annoyed by it than anything else.

Entropy wins the prize for Worst Directed Episode, though, hands-down. If the DVD commentary revealed that they'd handed that ep over to a high-school A/V club, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I don't even remember that episode, or what season it was in. I'm assuming S6 or S7, because I'm pretty good on the ep titles from S1-5.

S6, the one with the hidden cameras and Spike/Anya sex in the Magic Box.

Up with the sun

I remember it's right after Hell's Belles, and that Anya becomes a vengeance demon again.

That is it.

What is even happening?

Entropy is a Season Six episode. It came right after Normal Again and before Seeing Red. I think it's the first time we see Anya after Hell's Bells. She's trying to exact vengeance on Xander, and ends up sleeping with Spike at the magic shop. Everyone sees it, thanks to the cameras the nerds planted everywhere. At the end of it, Tara comes to Willow and says the, "Things fall apart..." yada yada "it's a long important process, and can we just skip it? Can you just be kissing me, now?" bit, which is how I remember the title of this one with the episode. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a clue.

sorry for the xpost

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

Slayage Conference Call for Papers

Someone should go and then report back. And tell me if it was all kraxy or interesting.

Slayage Conference

Sounds like the serial killers' convention in The Doll's House (Gaiman's Sandman). "Our next speaker is Mr. Corinthian."

Okay, eirefaerie was reliving the days of badfic on TWoP, and she posted the links to two hilariously bad pieces I thought I'd share:

"THE BEATLES 100 VAMPIRES 0," in which it is discovered that vampires hate the Beatles.

"Xander's Guardian Angel," the sequel, in which it is discovered that John Lennon is Xander's guardian angel.
