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.

Bear with me, this is BtVS-related. Truthdig did an article recently on a book by Robert Scheer, Playing President: My Close Encounters with Nixon, Carter, Bush I, Reagan, and Clinton--and How They Did Not Prepare Me for George W. Bush. In the comments after the article, there's a Buffy reference. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
I googled the name in question, in case the writers took it from history, and found no historical reference for the name. The commenter is one of us!

What name did you mean?
If it's the Kakistocratic thing -- that's actually a type of government. .. although not a recommended one.

Sounds like an interesting book, but I am a little annoyed that he spelled Jesse Jackson's name wrong.

Oh, thanks, Sumi! I suspected that the BtVS writers hadn't pulled the name Kakistos from thin air, but I googled on Kakistos rather than Kakistocratic, which was slipshod of me.
Ah, he did misspell Jesse Jackson. I didn't catch that first time through.

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

I didn't get Buffy's house number correct and conflated Parker Abrams with the name of the actor's character on Dawson's Creek.
I haven't lived in my parents' basement for years, however.

I forgot Kristine Sutherland's name and what Ethan Rayne wrote on the wall. Other than that, I did pretty good.

I knew the answers to many of them, but nowhere near as quickly as she did, and speed is paramount in Mastermind.
I'm startled that show is still on. I think TV persona in England die very rarely.
