Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

'Get It Done'


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.

At least no worse or better than anyone else.

It's all "You mentioned the Romani! You must now make an explicit effort to undo generations of bigotry or you're part of the problem!"

Is it just because they're young? I feel very old and cynical when I read the comments.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Eh, having people devote their lives to a vendetta based on someone who was killed before they were born doesn't strike me as the most positive of depictions. But then Jenny Calendar called out how insane the lengths they were going to actually were, so there was an onscreen counterpoint.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Definitely better than Native Americans!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Definitely better than Native Americans!

I wonder how they'll react when Xander's penis gets diseases from a Chumash tribe.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

At least the show explicitly "teaches the controversy" on the Chumash...yeah, that's probably not enough...

I wonder how they'll react to Willow's denunciation of Thanksgiving.

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

Is it just because they're young?

Possibly, but you can't say that because it's ageist.

It's all "You mentioned the Romani! You must now make an explicit effort to undo generations of bigotry or you're part of the problem!"

There was a very interesting comment from an actual Romani who was basically like, "It didn't bother me because they always get it wrong, and we don't tell anyone our secret ways, so whatevs."

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

SECRET WAYS, JON. SECRET WAYS.
