"It's a ritual sacrafice. With pie."
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Hey. New board.
I watched Pangs on Sunday during my Friend!Thanksgiving (not to be confused with Family!Thanksgiving) and it was delicious.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I like to watch Pangs on or around Thanksgiving.
I showed Pangs to my 7th and 8th graders today. I showed them Fear Itself at Halloween. I'm trying to hook them early!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I can see Pangs as a reasonable intro into discussing Thanksgiving and the treatment of the Indians.
I'd take my copy with me, but the odds I could get my family to watch are right there with the odds of being hit by a meteorite.

Since I teach drama, I can use Buffy eps to teach all kinds of things: plot, conflict, character, setting, theme, mood, acting, movement. I plan on using Hush when I teach my 6th graders about pantomime.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The universe is imploding. My Mom sent me this link today. Where are they now?

What is even happening?
Some of our kids are looking a little rough. Eliza and Amber look awesome, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Uh, since when did Whedon want Brendan in the role of Mal Reynolds? I hadn't any idea!

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I really can't believe that. I like Nick, but he doesn't have the chops or the, I think presence is the word I want, to carry the role of Mal.
