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....
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

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.

Jilli, you are not allowed to even think about watching The Body until 2013. Midyear.

I'm already placing bets with myself for what will freak him out most. Oddly, the one I keep coming back to is when Joyce hits Spike in "School Hard." He's going to love it.
I just have to quote this from Mark:
If there comes a point in your life where Cordelia Chase comes to you and tells you that you need to stop being rude, you’ve probably gone to far.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You guys know Mark is doing a tour, right? He'll be in Boston on February 24. Looks like he's trying to set up an event at a library.

I spent my entire evening tonight reading all of the Mark Watches Buffy entries that have been posted so far. I have never read any of the Mark posts before, but I absolutely loved them. I'm sort of jealous because I watched Buffy all sorts of out of order except for season 6 and 7, so I never really got the same watching experience of not knowing what was going to happen next in the first few season. I don't agree with everything he says, but I totally adore his posts and love reading his predictions. Some of them are so spot on.

Go back and read Mark Reads Harry Potter, SJ. You'll love that too.

I love Mark Reads The Hunger Games trilogy and Pullman's His Dark Materials.
