From Mark watches wrt Cordelia: "That is a smart choice for this show because I’d call bullshit if she suddenly became nice, altruistic, and well-meaning."
Ha!
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I got 3/4 of the way through Season 8
You actually probably stopped right before it got REALLY FUCKED UP. No, I mean REALLY.

There's also apparently a Faith and Angel comic out right now that's really good, but it starts after the Buffy S8 comics and is therefore spoilery for what happened at the end of that run.

DUDE. I mean, the mystical sex whatnot was eyerolly (but still fucked up, IMO), but Giles -- there was yelling on my part. Kind of a lot.

I'm really curious how Mark is going to react to Dru. And how the board is going to handle references to her. I mean, she is obviously not right mentally. But we're not allowed to call her crazy or any other term that means mentally ill?
And is anyone else doing an actual rewatch of the show? I watch the episode the night before, then read his review, then watch the next episode. That way the episode is fresh in my mind when I read his review.

I'm not sure what the DSM for vampires looks like: "Driven Mad by Angelus, see Indices 4c-e, 5a, 12c-f."

Yeah, one of the mods suggested "strange" or "wacky" until Mark decides what word is best to use. Not looking forward to more wank in the comments.

I've been rewatching a lot since Mark started his reviews. I've watched all of S1, and I'm up to "Ted" on S2, but I skipped ahead and watched "Becoming, Part 1 & 2" and then I skipped ahead some more and watched a bunch of S3, because I like S3 so much.
