Okay, having just read that, I'm not sure I could take this level of enthusiasm and ass capping on a regular basis. Power to him for falling under the spell, though.
There's yet much realer for shit to get.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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.

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

Although right now I'm more curious about how he's going to handle the discussion of Dru and the fact that she is mentally unstable and insane. I know this was discussed before. I'm not reading the comments and I'm not so much interested in how the comments will be moderated but how Mark will describe Dru.

She is...individual.

It is odd that he didn't mention her at all. Did she fail to make an impression, or did he just not know what to say? He's not going to be able to get through all of S2 without mentioning her. She's pivotal.

Maybe he thought she isn't going to be that much of a key player. He said he knew Spike's name but not what role he had on the show. So, maybe since he hadn't heard Dru's name he's not thinking she's not going to be in it much.

Well, then. He'll be surprised!

I hope that's it and he's not ignoring her because he doesn't know how to describe her without saying she's mentally unstable.
Is it just the term crazy that's not allowed or is it any term that means mentally ill that has a negative connotation, like insane.

The latter. Crazy, insane, psycho, etc.
I think he was just really excited about Spike and focused on the general plot, and there wasn't a good place for him to talk about Dru in the review. There have been other reviews where he completely leaves out or awards very little space to events I would have considered worth writing about, so I guess it's a matter of what he wants to focus the review on.

You know, he hasn't really seen Drusilla in her full glory. He may find he has to use crazy after all.
