Spike: Taking up smoking, are you? Harmony: I am a villain, Spike. Hello!

Spike/Harm ,'Help'


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?

Gris, if they were going to have a there-is-no-victory sort of post-modern ending, it would have had to be a shot of Spike dancing with Dru on Buffy's grave.

(and I wouldn't like that ^ either)

I'm excited. One of my friends and I have been talking about making some time to spend together. She has a husband and a son health issues, so the usual drink or dinner out is hard for her. We made some time last night, I brought pizza over and we hung out. Then she said "you know, i've never seen buffy. what say you bring the DVDs over and we watch them?" SO EXCITED. A new buffista.

I'm so jealous of your friend, Vortex. She gets it all brand new and shiny and fresh, with you as her sherpa--a sherpa who cries at all the right moments.

eta...

I sure hope 'sherpa' is the word I'm thinking of.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I quite like "Normal Again."

Me too. One of my favorites of the season. And of the series, probably, though maybe not in the top ten. I just thought all the metaphorical psychobabble was so cleverly done that they really gave you the horrifying idea that it could be true. Not for the show itself, but just in general.

Because books.

Aw. Seth Green is on Sesame Street this morning as the Letter of the Month Club rep. So adorable.

Heh, I think the Muppets are one of the few things he hasn't done extremely rude things to on ROBOT CHICKEN.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I believe he also appears in the new Weird Al video "White and Nerdy".

You're forgetting "Behind the Music: Electric Mayhem."

You are correct, Strega. I thought I'd discovered Seth's sacred cow. Kinda glad there might not be one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

except that someone else's first was "Superstar" (IIRC, Jessica).

Close -- my first* was Fear, Itself (which is a terrific introduction ep), and Superstar was my second. So I assumed for most of the ep that Superstar was a repeat from an earlier season, or something, and had no idea Jonathan wasn't supposed to be there.

*That I paid attention to -- I had previously watched short bits of what I guess would have been S2/3 in the mods lounge in between edit sessions. The reason I didn't get hooked at that time is because the television in the mods lounge was approximately twelve thousand years old, and recieved everything in a very staticky dark pink, with sound quality to match. So while I was peripherally aware of the show as a thing that some of my friends watched, I was never able to see or hear enough of it to realize I should buy a television and start watching it for myself.

I can attest to this, as this is the episode I happened to watch one time when I was staying at my brother's place and got him and his (future) wife completely hooked.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Aw, I love hearing everyone's "first Buffy" stories. My first was "Beauty and the Beasts", which was mildly incomprehensible, but also intrigued me enough to watch the next week's ep, which was "Homecoming" -- a FANTASTIC beginner's episode, with the hilarious bitchfest between Buffy and Cordy, and Faith punking Scott Hope at the dance, and Xander/Willow kissage plus angst, and all the great dialogue. LOVE that episode. Season 2 breaks my heart, but season 3 owns me.
