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.

Heh. Johanna's bitter that they aren't showing Young Americans.

Ah, the quarter-annual sweeps Running of the Virgins!

Art Crawl!!!

I just checked epguides and as I hoped both Veronica Mars and Supernatural have their season debuts the week following the big WB send-off.

(GG and Smallville don't have any episodes listed. . . however, VM's doesn't have an episode title just says something like season premiere.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You know how sometimes, when you don't see something for a while, and then you watch it again, and you think "hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was"?

Doublemeat Palace is not one of those things.

What is even happening?

Narrator, please to be using the account the clarrificus set up for you. You know the one...

Heh. Johanna's bitter that they aren't showing Young Americans.

Oh Strega, I hadn't realized how I missed reading about Johanna, 'til I read about Johanna.

"Doublemeat Palace" is one of the episodes that gets skipped in my house. On my current re-running of BtVS, I've finally made it up to season 7 -- specifically, "Beneath You," memorable for Spike's hideously out of place electric blue shirt and the striking final image of him draped over the cross and smoking.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

See, DMP is, for me, a fond and miserable memory of working at Taco Bell when I was 21.

It really captured the experience.

Well, except I don't think there were penis demons in my particular Taco Bell.

That I knew of, at any rate.

Aw, Cindy, I'll pass that on. She likes knowing that not everyone thinks I made her up. Come to think of it, I should probably have a long talk with her about Farscape, so I can steal more of her jokes.

please to be using
What's the origin of this phrasing, btw? I picked it up from Don & Mike, but I assume they were riffing on something else.

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

I love that blue shirt. I have that blue shirt. And the silver pimp chain. And the leather coat. And the bleached hair. And the red shirt. And fairly often the chipped black nail polish.

It's all coincidence, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's all coincidence, though.
Use caution when dressing like Spike, operating machinery, and performing any other hazardous task until you know how draping on crosses will affect you.

Aside from her being funny (which she is) I always loved your mentions of Johanna in your recaps, because it just made it all so regular. I also liked when Sars or one of the other TWoP writers/mods would comment in another writer's recap.

I have no clue. Who/what is/are Don & Mike. I can hear Xander saying something like it in my head, but that could just be the voices.
