On a good night (excluding when Willow barfed up a snake and brought her back from the dead), Buffy took in about 3 million viewers -- maybe a few more.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

"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 think for me Jane stands out as Joss's second with episodes like "Earshot," "A New Man," "After Life," and "Conversations with Dead People" (my favorite of hers). But Marti Noxon gives her a run for her money with episodes like "Surprise," "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered," and "The Wish." I just think she had more clunkers than Jane, and took the show in directions I didn't want to follow once she was the showrunner.
To be fair, I could say that last about Tim's stint as showrunner on Angel as well, though aside from "Rm w/aVu" he wrote most of my favorite episodes.

Nick's Sci-Fi Channel movie finally has an airdate! And a new name!
Per Sci-Fi.com, Fire Serpent will debut Feb. 24. It doesn't yet have one of those delightfully overdramatic splash pages like Amber Benson's Gryphon got. But it did have an official synopsis:
A veteran firefighter tries to convince a young fireman and a government agent that the blaze they are fighting is really a fire creature spawned by the sun. Nicholas Brendon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Sandrine Holt (24) and Robert Beltran (Star Trek: Voyager) star.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
the blaze they are fighting is really a fire creature spawned by the sun.
Oh my God. SciFi never ceases to amuse me. What will they come up with next?

I love it! I hope to work spawned by the sun into conversation this weekend.

I think the entire final phrase is hilarious. They can milk it so many times:
"A veteran water meter reader tries to convince detectives that the murdered they are tracking is really a water creature spawned by the lake."
"A veteran flight attendant tries to convince the pilot that the turbulence he is experiencing is really an air creature spawned by the clouds."
"A veteran professional wrestler tries to convince the ring girls that the rock they keep tripping over is really a stone creature spawned by the earth."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sandrine Holt used to date one of my best friends. Broke his heart, she did. Good actress, though.

Sunil's love for Avatar: The Last Airbender burned with a white hot heat which only could have been spawned by the sun.

See, I think spawned by the sun just automatically lends itself to a certain boldness. And perhaps italics.

Let's see...

You're absolutely right.
Also? Nicky. Soon to be on my TV? In a Speedo. Wet. Is this true, or was I still dreaming?
