Since this will get buried in natter - is anyone watching Ringer? I've got all the episodes on my DVR, but everything I've heard/read about it says it's not very good and I've secretly been hoping it was going to get cancelled early so I can just delete it, but if it's any good at all, I would watch it eventually.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's ... not that good. And SMG reminds me most of Buffy when she's the doppelganger which is weird.
I can't really say. It's amusing but I am not invested. At all.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Institutionalization in the Whedon-verse
Fantastic link, Glamcookie - thanks. I've long been irritated by the portrayal of madness in Buffy. I used to get told "It's only fiction - stop complaining," but that's hardly the way that Buffy was about representation in general.
I loved Season 7 (with a few exceptions), but I had problems with Season 6, as most people did. I didn't hate the depression theme, but the ridiculous mess made of Willow's story was annoying. The yellow crayon scene did redeem it a bit.

What Cass said about Ringer. I cannot recommend it, but I'm hanging in hoping it will embrace OTT soapiness wholeheartedly.

Right then. Gives me some space on my DVR so off it goes. If it somehow turns out great, I can catch up later, but it doesn't sound like I'll miss much for now.
Thanks!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Vid literate folks and Vividcon attendees probably already know this Buffy vid, but I just came across it attached to comments in the AV Club. It's pretty great.

Theme: Buffy vs. Kyriarchy!
(Spoiler: Buffy wins.)
Teppy, it's a must watch for you.

Thank you, David! I'd never seen that one before and it's awesome. Wow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I hadn't seen that one before either, and it was made of awesome. Love.

So, my coworker is organizing a viewing of Once More With Feeling in conjunction with a local con. She asked me to help out with some trivia questions, maybe some harder ones.
Do you guys think these are too hard or too easy? Any other questions would be welcome.
In Season one episode named "Out of Sight, Out of Mind," what was the name of the invisible girl?
What magical object was used to restore Angel's soul in Passions?
What was the name of Sunnydale High's principal that got eaten by students possessed by hyena demons?
What is the street address of Buffy's family home in Sunnydale?
What is the preferred food of the Demon Clem, who appears in season 6 and 7?
What Buffy writers/producers appear in Once More With Feeling?
