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.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?
Willow ,'Empty Places'
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.

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.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
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.

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

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.

Oh that wacky Drusilla! (That doesn't quit sum her up properly!)

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But we're not allowed to call her crazy or any other term that means mentally ill?
Does he just not talk about mental illness in the fiction he discusses, or is it just the commenters that aren't allowed to talk about mental illness?
