I don't know what I ever thought, but a quick glance at the transcript makes it understandable why he'd think that, given all the talk of presents and blowing out candles. I think I just figured Drusilla wanted a party. Because she's Drusilla.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Yeah, but -- vampires don't have birthdays. Right? At least in the Buffyverse?
I think I just figured Drusilla wanted a party. Because she's Drusilla.
Well, yeah.
Now I'm befuddled.
Also, P-C -- nice macro. I snorted and then had to cover, since I'm at my desk. I don't think it was a very convincing cough.

When I reviewed the transcript, I realized that that last scene is totally weird because you don't actually know what's going on. So, that seemed like as good an explanation as any. Especially because I didn't want to hint at what was really happening, assuming Mark didn't figure it out. Which he didn't, although one of the posters who is also watching for the first time did, so good for her.

Are you saying Dru can't have a birthday if she wanted to? Heck, she could have seen something in a store window and demanded one on the spot. It's not like Spike would say no.

Does Mark just watch the episode once and the write down his reactions and that's it or does he watch it multiple times?
Because if he's only watching it once and getting that excited and not rewatching I can see how he'd miss some information.

I would deny Dru *nothing.* I'm no fool.
But I just never got the idea that the specific party Drusilla threw in "Surprise" was a birthday party.

For these one-a-day series, he only watches once. Some of the weekly series, he'll rewatch (like he watched the Sherlock finale a couple times before posting).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought Drusilla threw a party because Angelus was coming back, which she knew, being psychic.

I always thought it was a party because she had her full strength back.
