River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Fridged to turn Willow dark, yes?
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.
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.
He made interesting female characters but then they bit it because it turns out they sometimes failed to be actual interesting characters. He's really only kinda feminist but he's also a guy and that inevitably means we're not going to worship him. Or think he can talk about how female characters can act. Which is, it turns out, factually true. I don't doubt he wants to do well, I just think we're going to make it complicated and judgy for legitimate reasons.
I think he did better earlier on before the women started having to be saved by the big, strong men. Or be hookers to empower themselves.
Mmm,HawkeyePenn...
That's one of the pleasures of rewatching, picking up some of the cameos. Recent observation: in Where the Wild things Are, the abusive children's home director is Mrs Landingham.
Apparently too, there are five actors who appeared on Buffy, Angel and Firefly. (One of them being the actor who played D'Hoffryn, who was also the creepy doctor stalker in I Fall to Pieces and captained an Alliance ship in Serenity).

I thought it was only three
Per imdb, there are five: Bob Fimiani, Carlos Jacott, Jeff Ricketts, Andy Umberger and Jonathan M. Woodward.
hmm. I guess it's time for another rewatch.
