Buffistas

I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Film and TV discussion

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 to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I didn't like any of the male characters is "Pretty in Pink." None of them. I so wanted Molly Ringwald's character to reject them all. I could not stand them.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" I liked better, but it was much thinner on plot and realism than the previous movies. The ending of course was unrealistic.

The thing with Xander is that we aren't really rooting for him like we are supposed to for the lead character of SKOW. So I think it is okay to like him some times and not others (especially Season 6).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My favorite character in Pretty in Pink was Annie Potts. And I sort of assumed Ducky was gay, maybe even before I knew what gay was.

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

My favorite character in Pretty in Pink was Annie Potts.

Until she rejects her cool vintage style to be some Yuppie's girlfriend!

I don't remember: did Xander keep his romantic intentions secret from Buffy? If he did disclose, are the romantic intentions in someone who is just friends still NiceGuy behavior?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Isn't high school all about romantic intentions misplaced--college too for that matter? Or was that just my experience.

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

I don't remember: did Xander keep his romantic intentions secret from Buffy?

He asked her out and got rejected in "Prophecy Girl."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I don't remember Xander being passive-aggressive w/r/t Buffy. Anya, later on, yes, but not Buffy (and I don't remember that he was with Cordelia either - that was more aggressive-aggressive on both sides).

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

I'm totally not getting the Nice Guy support citations for Xander over most of his relationships. Sure, he failed to get the girl sometimes, and he fucked other shit up, but not like a Nice Guy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I should clarify that I don't think passive-aggressive behavior necessarily equals Nice Guy behavior. It certainly can be, but I don't think it was in Xander's case.

Always Anti-fascist!

In my personal fanon of SKOW,Annie Potts' character tries out "normal" till she breaks up with that guy and goes Goth. But I can also imagine her being Ducky's Mrs. Robinson...is that gross?
