Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

The "sickly" makeup they did on Buffy keeps distracting me. The makeup artist went a little too heavy on the green powder.

I love love love the notion of using Barbies for ritual poppets. That cracks me up every time.

Because books.

Yeah, but she played weak and out of it pretty well, I thought.

There's also Giles's fatherly concern, really early on, I think. With the forbidding, but also with the worry.

Oh, absolutely. It's just her face being greener than any other bit of exposed skin that throws me.

And Giles with the spellcasting. Again, aww.

I think I was dumb to be surprised when I found out Giles had been into black magic as a teenager. That was a fairly authoritative spell casting, if you ask me.

Ack! The black eyes of evil!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aww, Giles with his first concussion.

I thought he was a bit frantic at the end. (Understandably so.)
