Wash ,'War Stories'
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.
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?
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]
Who is more important to and/or for Buffy, Willow or Xander?
Who is more important to Buffy, Willow or Xander?
Huh. I thought I knew this. I was going to say Willow--then I thought "No, Xander's the Everyman she's fighting for"--then I thought about how marginalized Xander got by the end . . .
I'm leaning towards Willow but I can't say for sure why.
I'm leaning towards Willow but I can't say for sure why.
I'd have to say she's definitely more important for Buffy, just by virtue of her power (Angel's soul, the spell in "Chosen", etc.). On "to", though, I'm kinda stumped.
I think that Joss/the writers at least thought it was Xander, at least when it can to the "to". (and I will be editing my question to make the to/for distinction) In the very end, Xander was the one she trusted with Dawn. Also, when Buffy, Willow, Giles, and Xander were walking through the high school together before the fight and splitting up one by one, Xander was the last to leave her side.

True, but was that because he was most important to her, or because she was more important to him (than to the rest)?
This is a tough one. I'm gonna think on it some more.
As much as it pains me, I'm going to go with Xander. Willow turned dark and needed to re-earn Buffy's trust. Xander always had B's back, yo.
