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?
He worked in a coffee shop.

Amy Acker...
Also, a lot of Freaks and Geeks actors including Martin Starr.
if we're including Whedonverse, Morena Baccarin was in an ep too.

I was happy to see that he did this. Although, the commenters nsm.
Anyway, this was a really weird episode. I’m not sure if it was trying to be funny, or really serious, or some strange combination of both?
This is one of the Mark Reads comment. Isn't nearly every episode of Buffy some weird combination of both. To me that is one of the best things about Buffy.
I'm guessing IWRY is going to break Mark into teeny tiny pieces.

They even had Samm Levine (Neil) who hasn't been on much of anything since F & G.

True!
I never thought about the fact that IWRY is sort of a precursor to the Connor mindwipe. Consulting people before taking away their memories? Never!
Just read Mark's review of "Something Blue."
He really is that unspoiled.
It's been 14 years since Xander lied to Buffy about Angel, and I can't believe I'm
still
having that argument, but what I think is kinda interesting this time is all the assumptions that this particular Xander defender has made about me, based, I think, entirely on the information that I think Xander should have told the truth.
He's totally convinced that I'm a Buffy/Angel shipper who really likes Buffy as a person. It's fascinating to me at the prejudices someone thinks I need to have in order to take an unrelated position. Like, he's sure he has to undermine me by pointing out my irrationality.
He has a very low opinion of shippers, so obviously being one at
all
makes me suspect, but obvious a Bangel shipper is the worst right now at having perspective. And I must *really* like Buffy, because I'm looking at this from her sentimental point of view, not Xander's more rational position.
Basically, I think he probably thinks I'm wrong because I'm a girl, but he can't/won't frame it that way. All the subtext is there, though.
I mean, I've seen Xander supported with other arguments, but this particular one is really weakly predicated on me being too emotional to see straight.
