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.

What is even happening?

Oh, it's funny to see things through other people's eyes. I think SMG is in fairly full possession of the BBoC chemistry factor, herself.

I thought B/A had incredible chemistry. I thought Riley and Buffy had decent chemistry, but the whingier he got, and the more self-absorbed he got, the less attractive I found him.

Cindy's take on this, unsurprisingly, is mine. While I thought the B/A relationship was an immature one that should have been obvious as a doomed and tragic mistake from miles away, the actors had enough chemistry in the first season to make smoke pour out of my TV. Really, more than Buffy/anyone else, or even Angel/Darla.

SMG was very changeable in my eyes. Even with the same actors there were days I thought she had chemistry and days you could tell she was reciting her grocery list to herself. But, for me, when she was hot, she was smooookin'!

Huh, I thought his was May 20th.

Comedies on The WB's radar include "Modern Men," about three friends who hire a female life coach; "Twins," which stars Sara Gilbert ("Roseanne," "ER") and Molly Stanton ("Passions") as fraternal twin sisters; the female buddy comedy "Mindy and Brenda"; and "Misconception," about a young woman who meets her formerly anonymous biological father.

Wow, the WB is really making my boycott a second thoughts-free experience.

It was mentioned on Whedonesque. I'm not sure where you go to doublecheck that sort of thing.

I just got some spam advertising "SlayerCon" in Knoxville this September. Anyone heard of it?

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

This is slightly OT, but I was reading one of my favorite Iraq-based blogs, that I haven't read in quite a while, and this was the beginning of the most recent post:

The Dead and the Undead...
…She stood in the crowded room as her drove of minions stood around her...…A huddling mass trying to draw closer to her aura of evil. The lights flashed against her fangs as her cruel lips curled into a grimace. It was meant to be a smile but it wouldn't reach her cold, lifeless eyes… It was a leer- the leer of the undead before a feeding...

The above was not a scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer- it was just Condi Rice in Iraq a day ago. At home, we fondly refer to her as The Vampire. She's such a contrast to Bush- he simply looks stupid. She, on the other hand, looks utterly evil.

Rice doesn't look evil to me, but I was interested to see the Buffy reference. The rest of the post is at the Baghdad Burning blog at [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Who is more important to and/or for Buffy, Willow or Xander?
