'Trash'
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.
When I picture someone beating a dead horse, the horse is hooked up to a cart. I don't know if this is just my brain or if there was a story to go with the cliche or what.
Sometimes, there is a stream just beyond the horse, which the person doing the beating will not be able to lead the horse to, nor make it drink from.
Is the cart before the horse?
What color is the horse?

Huh. Never noticed that before. It kind of is.
What color is the horse?
Pink gingham.
Duh.
Is the cart before the horse?
No, but the barn door was shut after the horse left.
Pink gingham.
Ride the pink gingham horse? Sounds....naughty.

That's totally a drug reference. Though I am too square to know exactly what it means. Or too straight. Or whatever the kids are saying these days.
We are like an autistic linguists convention, aren't we?

I do enjoy that the Xander Lie keeps coming up. It's proof that it's dramatically real, you know? That it's not something everybody comes down on the same side about, that it's legitimately gray. I dig that.
Me too. It's the same reason I love the fight in the library among the scoobs where each of their motives/experiences is on full view and you understand all of them, and they're in complete tension.
Which is to say, Xander has many faults, but also many strengths; saying, "Kick his ass" was a failure to relate possibly-important data, but it was a prime example of Xander being supportive in a way he knows how to do. Frightened guy with a rock, blurty, occasionally cruel, avoidant, but also, all the cavalry available, and kind, and helpful, and once in a blue moon, wise. He is human.
Nutty speaks my mind again.
The cavalry's here! The cavalry's a frightened guy with a rock, but he's here!
