I'm not the one who figured out how to make watching TV my job so maybe I'm the one doing it wrong.
There is that. But there are people like, say, Mo Ryan, who watch TV like they've been told a story before, and still make money doing it.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

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.

Mark's naivete is starting to wear a little thin. Even since he's begun his blog he should have started to pick up some of the basic storytelling techniques.

Because books.
I'm still a little surprised that his whole naif pose hasn't eroded at all.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Clearly us old, cynical fans need to follow the Doctor's example, and acquire young, unspoiled companions to remind just how amazing the whole thing is.
Heh. Seriously, though, watching him and the newbies go through Buffy and Angel (and previously, Avatar) and having so much fun in the comments really has reminded me how much I love them and made me love them MORE.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Restless! Probably my favourite Buffy episode, full stop. I quit reading Mark a while ago since I don't really dig his style, but I am happy for any newbie who is about to watch Restless for the first time. It really is something special.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Vonnie and I are in agreement. I love Restless so much. I just want to braid its hair and paint its toenails.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I will note again for the historical record that at the first Buffista F2F "Restless" was the episode of choice for a group watch.
