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?

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.

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.
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.)

I can't watch and post (because I don't own the DVDs, what the hell is wrong with me!), but I'm so happy to read all of this! I came into Buffy late, and to the Buffistas even later, and the spicy brains are so yummy!

And Steven Seagal's in Executive Decision.
Hmmm.... That one is waaay up there on the Best Death list.

Yes, but would it have been a Best Death if it had been nameless numberhead character actor instead of SS?

Oh no.
I mean, it's a pretty cool movie death, but otherwise unnotable except that it happens to SS.

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