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.
Book: Afraid I might be needing a preacher. Mal: That's good. You lie there and be ironical.

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.

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?

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?

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!

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Dave, now. Dave coulda done it.
Even though anybody but Nathan in the role is just...wrong.

“Not dead yet!”
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.
Especially given the "now" picture they used-- he bore an eerie resemblance to Jack Nicholson's Joker, sans makeup. Which really... not such a compliment.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Bwah! That is what DW and I have always said about him, though he seems to really be morphing into him as he gets older.

That seems like fanon, to me. Buffy was still on the air when Firefly premiered, and Xander had already become a nearly secondary (tertiary) character. Maybe Joss said he wanted Mal to be a Xander-type who was damaged by the war, or something.
