Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

What is even happening?

( continues...) Thanks chrismg.

I guess they had to drop the bit about her being able to sense vampires, or else Angel wouldn't have been able to fool her.
She still senses vamps in WTTH or TH. Not sensing that Angel is a vamp is easy to handwave. First of all, she kind of did sense him. She attacked him when he was following her and she was all, "I really didn't like him," about Angel, to Giles. But for people who don't see that "sensing," you can chalk it up to Angel having a soul. Also, he did not attack her, or even fight back, when she jumped him. He gave her a cross.

More fanwanking. I'm so happy. Plus anything that used to induce me to ragewank is still over 100 episodes away.

perhaps she senses the lack of soul, and that's why she didn't know about Angel waves hand.

Okay, so I didn't get there first, Vortex did, but I got there. With Vortex. Who, if I recall correctly, also gets allergy attacks during The Prom, so it's all extra good.

"Excuse me. I have to call everyone I have ever met, right now."

One of the best lines, ever.

Also, worst last line in a weird supernatural bible passage ever. "Hell itself will come to town." Wha?

Yes. That was stupid. They had all this great, prophecy-esque language, and then hell's coming "to town." Just like Santa Claus. Heh. Goobers. It's like Joss started the prophetic language, told an intern to finish it up while he went to get coffee, and then never checked back on the finished product. If he were George Lucas, we could get that rewritten. Thank goodness he's not George Lucas. I love my dead show.

Yep. She is. 16, and wanting anything but the weight of the world on her shoulders, the poor dear.

Read me the signs! Tell me my FORTUNE! [...] I'm sixteen, I don't want to die! Sorry, wrong episode, but the Buffy Tourette's isn't likely to clear up. And besides, aww. That's our girl.

Oh! My on-topic post split itself into two. And they say you can't go home again. Well I say, home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. Okay, other people have said that too. And first. And more notably.

Shutting up, now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I guess they had to drop the bit about her being able to sense vampires, or else Angel wouldn't have been able to fool her.

I figured they were trying to emphasize that she hadn't completely developed her slayer senses yet.

Teacup Guy wanted to know if Angel is good or evil. Heh.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Teacup Guy wanted to know if Angel is good or evil.

The correct answer, of course, is, "Yes."

Teacup Guy wanted to know if Angel is good or evil. Heh.

You should have told him that the answer to this question is "Yes".

HA!! The hivemind, she is strong.

I was tempted to say, "For now."

FYI, I just got the latest issue of Cinema Journal and it looks like there will be an article on "BtVS and On-Line Fancom" in a forthcoming issue. The author is Josh Stenger. I generally don't follow Buffy other than here, is he a regular on the academic Buffy circuit?

also allergy inducing. Definitely one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I guess they had to drop the bit about her being able to sense vampires, or else Angel wouldn't have been able to fool her.

I always assumed it was because he had a soul, he didn't set her off the same way (until she got used to him skulking ... she does get better at sensing him.)

Best! Death! Evar!

I'd hold the Judge's up to it for competition. And Steven Seagal's in Executive Decision.

You know, I don't think Darla's ever shown as a strong physical fighter. And we see how Buffy's strength seems to vary depending on plot needs.

She beats the crap out of Angel on his show a couple of times.

also allergy inducing. Definitely one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.

Personally, I think that scene is the best acting SMG has ever done. (And she's had a lot of good moments in her career.)
