Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

WHY HASN’T GILES SANG BEFORE? OH MY GOD HIS VOICE IS SO DREAMY.

As always, Mark is not prepared. Can't wait until he gets to Giles singing in "Restless." Never mind "Once More With Feeling."

Because books.

WHY HASN’T GILES SANG BEFORE?

I just want to shake him and make him repeat, "SING, SANG, has SUNG." Argh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, I've seen "Restless" and I feel like I accidentally slipped and fell into David Lynch's laundry basket. Help.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ha! As if David Lynch could write something that funny.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I just want to shake him and make him repeat, "SING, SANG, has SUNG." Argh.

Sing it, sister! I've been seeing a real uptick in the number of times people mess up those tenses lately. See also "drink, drank, drunk," "swim, swam, swum," etc. I thought I was the only one who noticed! t /copyeditor nerd

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Poor, Mark. He's going to go all Kitten board after "Seeing Red."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Actually, Restless reminded me of David Lynch, with the red curtains, and that is totally why I stopped, watched Restless, and became a Buffy fan and Buffista. (I know I have told this story 100 times, but it was the red curtains which drew me in.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's definitely Lynchian, though Joss claims he didn't choose the red curtains with Lynch in mind. (They had turned up earlier in The Puppet Show, right? So they already had them.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awwww, he's so in love with "New Moon Rising."

Though now I want to run over to the recommend-stuff-to-him thread and pimp the hell out of "My So-Called Life." No metaphors, just pure undiluted gay teen struggling with his awful family and with the terrified certainty that he belongs "nowhere, with no one," and his astonishment that all that hatred might have been a lie and that he might, in fact, belong.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Mark started refering to Wolfram & Hart as Wolfram & Heart today for some reason. Which is weird because he spelled it right in the past.
