Prophecy Girl is tomorrow for Mark. This ought to be interesting.
I love how much he hates Snyder.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

Right? I'd be bummed if he didn't love it and fist-punch the air a lot.
It's curious how much he's identifying with Cordelia. He's really going to hate Xander after she suffers rebar.

Ooooo. Probably the best hour of TV ever in my estimation.

Whoo, The Body. I had already decided a few years ago that I was never ever re-watching that episode.
I should spend today catching up on Mark Watches! That is a perfect use of my day, yes.

Jilli,
I saw it again for the first time (I think) after it aired about 6 months ago. It did not go as badly (for me) as I feared. I also feel like I saw things I missed the first time because I was freaked the fuck out.

I noticed that Hush was on this weekend and Tivoed it. I am feeling oogy, so I am drinking tea with the fireplace on. I am considering watching, but I suspect I will have enough trouble sleeping tonight without having The Gentlemen in my subconscious.

That's pretty much what he did. And I love the closing lines:
BRING IT, JOSS WHEDON.
Wait, I shouldn’t say that, should I?
Probably not, Mark. Probably not.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm enjoying Mark's remarks. Not least because he anticipates so many developments so perfectly but misses the mark so completely on others. I can hardly wait to see his reaction to Angelus....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Mark likes Prophecy girl - but I've watched it a billion times -- and I'm always on my feet with my arms in the air at the power walk .
and all i needed him to see is how fucked up that episode is -- Because it is
and I bet he starts saying trust in Joss soon. because all though he doesn't love Xander -- he is beginning to see that he can trust Joss to do something ...

Mark Reads:
So is it safe to say that the Anointed One will comprise the season two mythology arc? I’m okay with that. Creepy kids rule.
Boy is he in for a surprise. Several, actually.
