(No, Perkins, I'm not here! I'm preparing the lesson for today. Which I should have done yesterday, but grading liquified or ate my brain. Being brainless, it's hard to think or to remember in order to find out what happened to it. Also, makes this whole lesson-preparing an interesting challenge. I'm sure my brain would have appreciated the interest in that challenge, had it been here. Only, well, it's not. Sneaky grading.)
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!
Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That interview really is interesting.
Brendon: That really is admirable. Because after about Season Five on [Buffy], or the end of Season Four, I was that guy. [Buffy creator] Joss [Whedon] actually said Xander was done--that there was no more. I was just kind of relegated to the background. It was one of those things that, where I was at in my life, the money was more important than my pride or taking care of myself.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I just want to know why they renamed the main character. I mean, his real name is Tony, so why did they make him Jack?

Jack tested better with focus groups.
Really? I don't know. Maybe Anthony Bourdain just didn't want his real name used because it's only "based on" his life. There are probably parallels to this choice.

In the future, every male tv character will be named Jack. We're halfway there already.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In the future, every male tv character will be named Jack.
What, no Logans?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And a sprinkling of Dannys.

For variety.

This seems a little odd to me, because Xander had quite a lot to do in Season 6 and almost all the main characters were dropped in Season 7 in favor of those stupid potentials and Andrew.

But, they used his real last name, which is much more unique.
Wait. Maybe Travel Channel owns the copyright to the name "Anthony Bourdain."
