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.
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 loved the loan shark shark! The extreme literalism makes me laugh and laugh.
Holy christ I was an annoying little shit ten years ago. Why didn't anyone TELL me????
Heh. I was pleasantly surprised to meet you in person!
Me too, Steph!
Anyway, Jess, it's better than the obverse when I look back and think, "I was both more cogent and nicer."

Askye: "How to tell a lackluster Buffy episode---The Buffistas have NOTHING to say about it."
The episode in question?
Doublemeat Palace.
You know, I knew that Jessica had worked at Starbucks, but I'd forgotten that Ple spent a summer working at Taco Bell.
eta: Oh, and that Tep worked at McDonald's when she was 16.
ION, I'd completely forgotten about Spike's pimp chain.
I'm amused that we are doing a read and post of Mark's reviews.
