I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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.

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

I love his "I like the quiet" moment.

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

I love his "I like the quiet" moment.

Yup. A defining moment for the character.

Huh, when I think of Giles' defining moment it's actually when he kills Ben.

"Not like us. Not like us."

Has high school really changed so much? So many of the commentaters just seem baffled by the idea of school dances and the sports obsession. Or is are the commentators a self-selected group that didn't/don't get involved with those things?

I can't wait to see Mark's reaction to that.

A fair number of non-Americans I think.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I got the (possibly erroneous) impression that the baffled commenters are non-US.

Non-USians who didn't catch it the first time around and are now catching up?

I don't think having seen this one episode of television years ago means you fully understand homecoming dances and what the hell they're all about. It's a different culture.

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

I don't get homecoming, fuck, and I went to a North American university. That shit is opaque.
