I wonder how they'll react to Willow's denunciation of Thanksgiving.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

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."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SECRET WAYS, JON. SECRET WAYS.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The thing about gypsy curses is they're not just a stereotype but they're also a horror trope. It's all over the Wolfman movies from the 40s. Joss does like to play with the tropes.

Someone noted that on the commentary, Joss jokes that he went with the gypsy curse because it's a "classic" and "Danish curse" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Plus he gets to make Jenny a "technopagan" to toy with the notion.
"Technopagan": A word which brings up dire memories of living in SF during the 90s. Dag, those were some bad neon-brite extensions.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wonder how they'll react when Xander's penis gets diseases from a Chumash tribe.
That is insanely earwormy. I read it and la la la went about my afternoon. Except I've been humming about Xander's penis for a while now and it's going to get awkward when I have to go interact with other humans.
