The Girl in Question
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

Just don't ask me to explain why Pylea worked fine for me but TGIQ made me want to punch my tv.
For me, though I enjoyed bits of it (mostly the Illyria/Burkles/Wes stuff, but also "Ciao!"), it was (a) way too late in what was then known to be the last season for that kind of whiplash (not enough time) and (b) it brought not!Buffy onto AtS for a few cheap laughs which is wrong in at least two three ways off the top of my head.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Pylea eps didn't feature a mop with a Cordy wig on it instead of Charisma Carpenter?
Cordy wasn't in TGIQ. I think you mean the Buffy mop.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the Illyria/Burkles/Wes stuff
Oh, right -- in my head, those scenes are part of a completely different episode, so I tend to forget them.
until the baby eps of Season 3 showed me I hadn't known the meaning of the words "decline in quality."
Oh lord, Dad. Provider. Let us never speak of them again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
No, no. To be parallel, you'd have to have Cordy completely absent, with her actions retold by...I'd say Harmony, but she was actually on Angel.

No, I meant Cordy. She was the party that Angel & Co. were questing after and focused on in the Pylea arc. Though unlike Buffy in TGIQ, she actually appeared in the episodes, hence the hypothetical cause for lack of bugging.

They SHOULD have been. Preferably in an episode that also kicks off the whole plot about Angel trying to join the Black Circle. I'm not sure if that still would have been enough time to make that plot point less of an asspull, but I think any more time on setting that up would have helped.
I wouldn't have minded TGIQ if it had taken place back around the episode on the sub, which I thought was even worse. TGIQ made me laugh (cheap though several of them were), but the German sub one just made me go WTF.

Oh, I misunderstood what you were referencing too. I took it as residual bitterness about St. Cordy & her ascension, etc. The fact that it was actually CC during that period almost makes it worse.

Am I the only one who hated Groo?
didn't hate Groo, but definitely didn't like him either. Mark Lutz on the other hand... hum. in. a!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I see his attractiveness, but I don't feel it. Oh well.
