"So you're saying Ben and Glory have some kind of connection?" part that I never find not funny.
'Beneath You'
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.

Which was the episode that we rewrote? Because I think that was far worse than Weight of the World.
Spiral.
Spiral was bad, but you certainly can't say nothing happened. It had horsies!
Love this blog post. Thanks for sharing it, JZ.
Three things:
I kept crying, "Mom? Mom? Mommy?" not "Mum? Mum? Mummy", while simultaneously kicking myself and telling myself not to be such an insular pedant. I think this tiny thing bothered me so much because that episode connected in such a deep way, and this brought it to my brain instead of my gut.
and
I really like Dr. Who, but I find that I tend not to enjoy rewatching them. I haven't really been sure why, but I think that Rilstone may have it with,
What does Buffy have which Doctor Who lacks? The smart answer would be "good writing". But I think the truth is that Joss Whedon is always, at all times, trying to tell a story about a set of characters. Russell T Davies is only ever seeking to manufacture a product.
and
Oh, and Firefly rocks. Obviously.
The man is clearly a genius.
It just amused me that Whedon wrote, SMG said, and all the USians immediately understood "Mom? Mom? Mommy?" but Rilstone's ears instantly translated it from our cultural emotional gutpunch into his, and didn't even realize he'd misheard until commenters pointed it out.
I was very amused while watching an episode of "Spaced" to see the main character praying to . . . the Buffy poster.
I will always be the only person ever who liked Spiral, won't I?
I think I kindda liked it too, but I can't remember. I wanted to watch it again this weekend, but it seems like I taped over it The Weight of the World. So I watched that instead.
I know a guy that this is his favorite Buffy ep.
i'll stand in your corner, Trudy.
