Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Only PC so far, but am not against mac on any sort of principle.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I loved Dr. Horrible, even though the ending surprised me a bit. I never realized how much I could love Neil Patrick Harris. So that was a revelation. But was no one else creeped out by the freeze ray? It reminded me a little too much of that one awful Angel episode that I've done my best to repress. With the freezing time in the middle of sex. Happy Anniversary? Something like that. The details are thankfully blurry in my recall. But I really didn't need the terrible association.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

since Buffy season 6 freeze ray has been a running joke for me and D. i.e. "we're with the freeze ray tour group" or "let's get the freeze ray out of here" so it only gives me the giggles. I must have slept through the creepy Angel episode.

I tried to get Mom to watch Dr. Horrible but she gave up after episode one saying they were talking more than singing and that it reminded her of Sondheim. I told her a lot of people are comparing it to Sondheim. So now I'm thinking I need to rent Into the Woods. Sadly, I'm most familiar with Sondheim through Musical of Musicals: The Musical.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Hey, Alibelle, I thought about Happy Anniversary too after reading Nilly's messages about how Billy's freeze ray is just about finding the right time to approach Penny. However, I don't hate the ep.

Tamara,

come on over to the tech thread, and put in your wishes and your budget and you'll likely have a computer picked out by 5pm.

Hey. New board.

I'm thinking I need to rent Into the Woods

Yeah you do.

I had repressed that Angel episode until just now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I too had forgotten about that episode. I had to look it up on wikipedia:

I hadn't forgotten Happy Anniversary, but I don't see the similarities. Billy never wanted to use the freeze ray on Penny, he wanted to use it on Capt. Hammer.

Vortex - he use it on her, in a way. In the laundromat song, in his imagination.

But did he actually shoot her with the freeze ray or did he just sing to her while she wasn't moving? Which is a common musical tactic.
