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.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm rewatching "Ted" right now, and Willow just looked at a chocolate chip cookie under a high school microscope and determined that it was laced with a tranquilizer. She's blinding me with science!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're allowed to talk about mental illness, they just can't use the word "crazy" - which is ableist, I guess.

So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would think that "delusional" would be accurate and specific.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?

I have no idea. We weren't allowed to call Azula a sociopath despite her exhibiting all the signs. But Drusilla has a problem with her brain being missing. It's kind of a thing.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.

Can you drive someone delusional? Didn't Angelus torture her into a break with reality? She's not delusional--she's psychic, after all. She's just...unhinged.

I don't see how he could stop you talking about a plot point and have it be conducive to discussion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

I would think so.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

After all, a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet.

Can I just say this sticks in my craw, and I've actually flown over the cuckoo's nest in the last 3 months.

Okay, but I don't think that's what happened in the story.
