Wait, what? This must have been S6 or 7...
S6!
Willow: You know what they say. The bigger they are... Anya: The faster they stomp you into nothin'.
'The Killer In Me'
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
And I found myself welcoming Vonnie to the board for the first time
Ha! You just made me go look up the thread. Young!Vonnie (well, younger!Vonnie, at any rate) cracked me the hell up -- I was in the full-on "saucy wench" mode, trying very hard to be charming and witty upon my delurking. You guys were pretty intimidating to a newbie, you know. I cannot believe I have been on this board since 2002.
I just spent happy and nostalgic half an hour skipping and skimming through that thread. The contentious season 6 generated some fantastic discussions.

Well, we were arguing about Nietzsche and Kierkegaard and the addiction metaphor for Willow's Will to Power.

It did! Plus lots of names I'd forgotten but were very active: Mike Hicks, Lilty, Amber B., Jean A., Brenna, Nuella, Torez, Tick, India M...
And look at that, ita's already fucking with punctuation as :ita:
And remember folks the mnemonic is: "Smashed" was smashing; "Wrecked" is a wreck.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Damnit, you've sucked me into a rabbit hole! I've fallen into Buffy 10 and I can't get out!
Holy christ I was an annoying little shit ten years ago. Why didn't anyone TELL me????

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also I'd forgotten about the loan shark in "Tabula Rasa" being an actual shark-man.
We probably need a list of special effects and monster costumes that desperately failed entirely due to conception and/or budget.
I remember a fair number of demons with horns that wobbled, and giant snakes in cheesy CGI.
Of course, actually getting to see the Slime Demon with his neat I'm-going-on-a-date suit and antlers was fun.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I loved the loan shark shark! The extreme literalism makes me laugh and laugh.

Heh. I was pleasantly surprised to meet you in person!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anyway, Jess, it's better than the obverse when I look back and think, "I was both more cogent and nicer."

Huh. Now we're talking about Mighty Big TV turning into Television Without Pity. Forgot about that.
