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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hi Cindy! You know, I had a feeling I was mentioned somewhere, and I came here and found my name.
I would have responded to this last night, while visiting some favorite sites after my vacation, but first I had to transcribe Nicholas Brendon's latest audioblog entry. In which he says the word shower three times; mentions something about him, Noah Wyle and handcuffs; and assures his listeners he thinks of them while getting massages.
It's not Xander. In a Speedo. Wet. But putting such a spin on his latest blog entry is the best I can do, now that we've moved on from the Bronze. This is my offering to you after such a nice post about the Dawn FAQ, which I had almost forgotten I did. Mainly because newbies were irritating me that season. A lot.

Hey, anyone up for a discussion of visual tropes in the Buffyverse?
Because the catwalk at the Bronze in WttH got me started (note: LA version S3 AtS w/Lilah, Wes), and now I want to keep yammering and throwing out ideas, and and and...
Well, I can't really do it alone. And it's Friday, and I'm bored.

can you define visual trope? Cause I'm thinking of Spike watching Angel save the girl "to the Angelmobile, away!" but, I'm not sure what a visual trope is.

Basically, what I'm looking at are places where you've got similar blocking and themes repeating throughout the shows.
Like, in WttH, you've got Buffy up on the catwalk, looking down at the "normal" world, while she and Giles are talking and he's basically telling her just what's setting her apart from that world, and that she has to accept that because it's who she is (obviously, that's not the direct text), and then in S6 with Dead Things, you see the same basic blocking repeated and the same theme twisted when she's with Spike on the balcony.

There's a dramatic catwalk moment in "Crush" when Drusilla kills that girl and feeds her to Spike.

There's the catwalk in S4 Angel, when Lilah's talking to Wes as they watch Connor.

Which totally falls into the category my brain is slotting.
