yeah, I agree with you all. I still just can't do it yet. I'll try again next year.
I won't be able to rewatch "Doublemeat Palace" when I get there either.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

In our slow* viewing of all of Buffy and Angel (new for The Boy, obv. not for me), we most recently watched Doublemeat Palace.
Still awful.
*(Slow because we have been derailed by DVDs of The Big Bang Theory. Hey, it's happier than Buffy S6!)

I can usually think of at least one good thing to say about every Buffy episode, but nothing is coming to mind on that one.

Well, Spike wears a MAGNIFICENT pimp chain, which was good for a laugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally and unironically like Spike's pimp chain. But I don't like Doublemeat Palace. Which, sadly, was the episode I tried to use to convert a good friend. He never watched another episode of Buffy, and I couldn't even blame him.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I think that's the episode I most dislike. Except possibly Bad Eggs.

Except possibly Bad Eggs.
but that has the terribly unconvincing, yet amusing bit with Giles and the "gas leak". Yes, it's 2 seconds out of the show, but it made me laugh.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
We MST3Ked Doublemeat Palace here, as 3 lawyers from W&H, watching surveillance tapes from Buffy's life as punishment for screwing up minor things in the company. I also remember "Donna Martin Graduates!" getting in there, somewhere. And a lot of 12 year olds humor. And the Dead Parrot Sketch.
That was a good thing wrt this episode.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I did manage to convert a friend with that one - he was himself a recent fast food hell veteran, and the creepy, depressing orientation video they made poor Buffy watch had him simultaneously laughing, crying and screaming.
