They don't have reflections in mirrors, and their clothes crumble to dust when they're staked. It's not as if the things are overburdened with the sensible physics to begin with.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or, as the Angel crew would say "IT'S A SHOW ABOUT VAMPIRES!!!"

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Handwavey magic, apparently. Though back in Buffy Season 2 there was speculation that they might be able to gorge on blood until their overall BP was raised enough to be able to function.
Other handwavey theories I've seen include the vampire consciously willing blood to go to the important places. (I read a lot of trashy vampire books, obviously.)

What is even happening?

That's all I really had to offer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You're right -- I forgot we separated the mythology into it's own thang.
Q. If vampires don't have a heartbeat or blood pressure, how do they achieve an erection?
A. Willpower. And a little touch of Jossy Dust.

Duly noted. I withdraw the notion.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I hadn't realised that Klingon arms and legs were ridged.
hehehe
Voltaire actually did a song called Worf's Revenge (Klingon Rap) which has the lines:
"I'm not a lowly white p'tak like that Barclay guy
I don't need a holodeck to get a parma'kai
When the ladies see the beast I got between my thighs
They say "Perhaps today is a good day to die"
I hit Ezri ,Troi, Jadzia too
Watch out Janeway I'm coming for you
I'm the MacDad Klingon with the humanoid bitches
Cause my head ain't the only part of me that's got ridges"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So I was skipping around slayage.tv while waiting for a FUCKO to give me the thing I needed so I could maybe get out on time, and I see there's a new Buffy book, and the Editor's description begins: Rhonda Wilcox is the world's foremost authority on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, its characters, and its themes.
Really? I don't know Rhonda, but I mean, I could be the world's foremost authority. So could anyone posting in this thread. It's just another thing setting off my rage button, today.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Really? I'd think, say, Joss would be a little ahead of her.

Hey. New board.
Dude, creators never really understand their own work. Haven't you ever taken a literature class?
