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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If he thinks Buffy's depressed now...

But I definitely regard it as a show capable of light heartedness. It's no BSG or Dollhouse.

Trust my rage

Does he really not know there is a movie? I feel like someone should at least tell him it exists. He seems super anti-spoiler, but it's not really a spoiler if it came first, right?

Does he live in a box? I don't read him, but I read about him, and he has to be the most unspoiled person who cares I've ever heard of.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Mark avoided SF & Fantasy for years for all the wrong reasons. He's rectifying that.

I swear my sister is more spoiled than he is, and she has no interest in the genre.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

He does know there's a movie, and I've suggested he liveblog it at some point.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Ha

from Mark:

Also, Angel is buff and such, so why isn’t he helping out? I seriously don’t get who he is and why he only acts as a really shitty and vague informant. WHO ARE YOU ANGEL.

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

It's a real delight, watching along with someone who's seeing it for the first time and has absolutely no idea what's coming. WHO ARE YOU ANGEL. That's what we were all saying! I wonder if Joss named him Angel to make us think he maybe was one.

I recall thinking he might be a partially reformed fallen one up until his eponymous episode revealed the truth.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I had insomnia the other night, and watched all of S1 Buffy (okay, part of it on fast forward) because of Mark watching. I hadn't seen it in ages!

I definitely liked S2 and S3 more, but S1 was fun.
