Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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.

"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.

Not as awkward as if you were humming on...
Never mind.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hee!
I had to go and rewatch that song and a) that was the moment that I actually believed Xander and Anya as a couple and b) WHY were his pjs sooo big!
