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.

I'm well aware that I'm like the only person who had a problem with a tonal shift from "dark and disturbing drama" to "show that cites to Fraggle Rock."

Freak. Maybe if he'd stalked Fred or something, you'd have liked him more?

There is no level of creepiness that will get me attracted to muppets.

Because books.

Third, for attempting to have their character cake and eat it too by not making the changes in the character all that major.

Exactly. He's crazy! He's not crazy! He's crazy again! O...kay.

And I felt like I could see the moment when the writers decided, Hey! Let's use the crazy thing and have the First manipulating him! What the hell!

Season 7 makes me so sad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See, the shift from Epiphany to Pylea pissed me off. I thought the muppets were much darker than Pylea, so it didn't jar at all.

There is no level of creepiness that will get me attracted to muppets.

But it turns out there's a level of muppetness that can get me attracted to Oliver.

Go figure.

I know I can always count on you to bat what I'm pitching way out of the park.

And proudly.

Can't you see it? I can see it. It's quite cuddly.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm so glad I never got sucked into the OC. My life is woobiefied enough as it is.

Trust me. The unplush version is quite psycho and repulsive. But all that nutness in a little puppet version? Whee!

And, yeah, topic -- RIGHT. The coyness about PodGiles (coyness, crap writing, whatever). That did make me quite angry too.

I yawned during Seeing Red. And PodGiles was teh lamest of the lame.

St. Cordy sucked.
