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.
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.
'The Killer In Me'
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.

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

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I thought it was only three

Per imdb, there are five: Bob Fimiani, Carlos Jacott, Jeff Ricketts, Andy Umberger and Jonathan M. Woodward.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Huh. Gotta say, "Pangs" wnet better for Mark than expected. He acknowledges the wrognness (and really, I think we all admit there's wrongness) but it doesn't blind him to the great in that episode.
I've only caught a couple of the "Whedon hat tricks" (not to be confused with "pointy hat tricks.") But since Lea and I've started mainlining "How I Met Your Mother," (we're into season six) we can't help but notice the number of "Buffy" actors who've appeared on the show: Alyson Hannigan, of course, along with Harry Groener, Alexis Denisof and Tom Lenk. Maybe a few others I'm not remembering. (And of course, Neil Patrick Harris gets an honroable for "Doctor Horrible.")

Who did Tom Lenk play?
