Figuring out that it was Darla in the box mere seconds before they showed her is one of the highlights of my viewing experience - the timing was perfect so I could feel all clever but still get the awesome shock of the revelation as it was happening on TV.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love those little moments, Matt. Where you suddenly get this creeping sensation that you know what's about to come and it's such a glorious joy to be proven correct.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I suppose in this crowd, I shouldn't be embarassed by noticing that the barmaid was Christina Hendricks by thinking, "wow, that one is boob-tacular! ...waitaminnit..."

Juliet Landau on tonight's Criminal Minds. (Also Robert Englund. This could go a lot of directions.)

Random trivia! I met Drew Goddard tonight, and I mentioned loving all his work and started listing episodes that came to mind, like "Lies My Parents Told Me." Since I brought that one up, he told me that the scene with Spike and his newly turned mother had originally been much tamer, as he'd written it, with, I guess, only the conflict about having to kill her. But Joss gave him the note that the scene had to be about Spike being a pussy, and his mom basically asking him to fuck her.
Which is why he loves Joss, because who else would give such a fucked-up note?

I may at one point have understood that reference.
Now is not that point.

Always Anti-fascist!
I was confused by that one, too, but as I recall, I hadn't watched nearly as much "Buffy" as he has by the time it came up, as I was trying to catch up with the current episodes and grab the backstory, too. Which works better with any other show, ever, than with "Buffy"(See also, "Normal Again",after which Mark will require a cold compress or something.) I honestly like his passion, but I wish Lloyd Dobler would come to his house all "You must chill," When I saw it twice, I could appreciate the humor and the comment on celebrity, and the funny credits. The police thing brings up an interesting point, however. When I wrote that Homicide Sunnydale fanfic, I quickly found out Joss was right to only have, you know, sketchy law enforcement...it would be hard for her to be "One girl in all the world..." within a framework of bureaucracy, people treating her like a kid, and her having to fill out more paperwork than Raylan Givens in his worst day.(Also, there is probably something about the patriarchy, too, but it's too early for that here.)
