Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But I still don't think Pangs is promoting genocide.
I don't think that's the issue. I think it's something about Native American spirits and...something? Making light of things? I don't know. You know, any time you do anything, it's problematic.
I wonder what the reaction to "Something Blue" is going to be?
What am I supposed to be outraged about there?

Because books.

I don't read Mark, but given his reaction to everything, I could imagine outrage at what Willow did, intentionally or not.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Buffy's OTT love for Spike, I guess. All the patriarchal hoo-ha around their wedding. I dunno. It just feels like it would be troubling. Maybe not.

Fridged to turn Willow dark, yes?

Haven't heard many rumblings about that one. People seem to like it and find it funny.

Cool. People's preferences align with mine!

I completely forgot that. I mean, much of the stuff goes over my head, but when a well-developed character dies and another character freaks the fuck out and people respond, I don't feel like it's a fridging, so much as a plot development and a catalyst.

I found it less funny when I rewatched it because season six made the ridiculousness less funny and more depressing foreshadowing.

It made it funnier, to me, because everyone had all their reactions, and then it happened for real. I have no idea, but that just cracked me up harder.

Twice - they got to have them again in the BuffyBot episode.
