"So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?"
"I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?"
"Angel's here to protect Buffy."
"I haven't been evil for a long time!"
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

Comments from Spoils:
Pangs is even worse than I remember it. What a godawful mess.
the dialogue is often really funny! But everything about the thanksgiving/indigenous peoples/genocide plot line is extra cringeworthy.
So yeah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They are so totes interrogating the text from the wrong perspective. As if.

Damn it, Angel was in "Dopplegangland." Anya may have been more focused on getting her Necklace of Evil back, but he was there!
Sorry. I am fueled by pedantry.
But everything about the thanksgiving/indigenous peoples/genocide plot line is extra cringeworthy.
And it's clear from the episode that the show is advocating genocide, AMIRITE?
t edit I'm glad I started watching BTVS before I knew I needed to be outraged about things.

Because books.

I am so glad you said that. Because I'm right there with you.
Pangs could be in my top five episodes of Buffy, I love it that much.

Not to mention "The Prom", though, again, she was focused on Xander.

Don't get me wrong; I think Joss isn't the feminist he gets lauded as being. And that wouldn't bother me if he weren't promoted as being Mr. Awesome Feminist Dood. But, you know, Fred. And Tara. And Penny. And, oh, all of Dollhouse.
But I still don't think Pangs is promoting genocide. Or that Xander is anything other than a normal high-school guy.
Hmmm. I wonder what the reaction to "Something Blue" is going to be?
