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.)

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.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
(Olbermann Voice) Look, everybody, Mark made a funny.(/Olbermann voice) I can't say I get the joke, though. Points for effort?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Was it a joke? If it was I don't get it either.

I think it was just a typo.

I think it was just a typo.
I was thinking that, but it was done more than once in the review, so maybe auto correct?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yeah. But nearly everyone gets Wolfram & Hart wrong, so I wouldn't think much of it.
Also, things I never realized until I started following Mark Watches: Dealing With Your Ex is a major theme of Buffy Season 4; Angel Season 1. Huh.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So Mark got up to "Blind Date" on Angel, and exclaimed that Holland Manners is Bernard from Lost! Which made me laugh, because my reaction when I watched Lost was the opposite -- "Aaaaaaah! It's Holland! Eeeeeevil!"
Also, Mark's reviews of Buffy S4 got me re-watching the back half of S4 this week (my back is acting up horribly, so I've been lying down a LOT; thank you, laptop with a DVD player). And, honestly, I like Riley. I always did. S4 was my introduction to Buffy, though, and that may have influenced me. But really, I just like him. I don't like what happened with him in S5, but I really liked him in S4.
Also? "New Moon Rising"? On re-watch, it just ripped my poor heart in two. I love Willow and Oz SO MUCH. (Over-identify much, Teppy?) But then I love Willow and Tara. The episode just kills me. I hate to see Oz come back but then leave again. But I love Willow with Tara. TORN IN TWO, I am.

Is he going to do both "Restless" and "Shanshu" on Monday? That should be entertaining.
