My problem with The Gift was the whole "this is my blood, so I can do this instead of you" thing. Both those points came out of nowhere, and it made no sense.
This was the very thing that prompted us to invent the word "asspull."

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 LOVED The Gift. I still cry every time I watch it. Totally the best Buffy season ender in my book.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Since I'm off on Fridays now (yay, reduced income), I'm still watching Buffy S3. The Prom still makes me cry, though not in as many points as it used to.
I used to cry at: (1) Angel dumping Buffy in the sewer [worst. breakup. ever.], (2) Buffy crying on Willow's lap post-breakup, and (3) the Class Protector scene.
Now, I got teary when (1) Buffy told Giles that Angel was leaving her and Giles said that he understood these things called for ice cream, and (2) the Class Protector scene.
Now I'm on to Graduation Day Pt. 1, and I just need to reiterate how much I love the mayor.

Hey. New board.
I love The Gift because it has good emotional resonance, but its logic is pretty nonexistent, so whether I consider it good writing/showcrafting sort of depends on my mood that day.
Home was great.
I LOVED Not Fade Away.
Chosen... I didn't love it. I loved some bits of it, but not it as a whole.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not sure anything in Buffy or Angel ever got me so much as the montage of all those girls becoming slayers. In that moment, the show was talking to me.

I have not finished watching "Angel" yet. I thought I did, but it seems like not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That made me cry. That montage summed up what the show was about, the whole heart of it, to me.
