Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For variety.
ETA:
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.
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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
But, they used his real last name, which is much more unique.
Wait. Maybe Travel Channel owns the copyright to the name "Anthony Bourdain."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Tony was too "ethnic." Yo, Angela!

If I only had a brain...
I thought that Brendon's alcoholism limited the ways he could be used?

Compassionately intolerant
That's what I thought.
When he said he took time off to 'take care of some stuff', I thought, "hmmm."
Good on him for doing it though.

Up with the sun
I thought that Brendon's alcoholism limited the ways he could be used?
That's been implied, but I understand why he wouldn't spell it out in an interview for a new product. There's just nothing for him to gain by bringing it up; "the character's story was done" can be read here as equivalent to "creative differences." And also, as we weren't on the set, we can't know -- it might well have been a spiral where Joss put Xander in the background, so Nick got frustrated and drank more, so even less was written for Xander, ad infinitum.
In any case, I wish him the best.

He announced it when he went into rehab.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What do you think Drusilla is doing now?
