Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

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

I saw that and didn't immediately jump on it because I didn't remember whether the episode said anything at all about a possible death, but then it got reported by, like, everyone.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

He spoiled at least one person, and dammit, not cool. The next episode does start alluding to a possibly longer storyline--Joyce has more headaches, Buffy runs into Ben again--but still. That's just spiteful. Hmph.

(Is it wrong that I'm gleefully looking forward to the newbie heads exploding at the end of "I Only Have Eyes For You"?)

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

I can't start laughing over Mark's reaction to Spike's dream about Buffy at the end of "Out of My Mind". I don't think he is going to like S6 much.

That's just spiteful.

Not spiteful, just oblivious. He has a tendency to post trivia like that without thinking about how much a newbie might actually know at that point.

From season two?

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes I don't know if I want to hug Mark or hit him with a tranquilizer dart...it's most unsettling.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

So, the guy - kickpuncher - he's just messing with the newbies when he talks about Dawn's appearences in earlier seasons, right? Or is he really that delusional?

I just read the comments after Mark's review of Buffy vs Dracula.

Yeah, we're all messing with them. Those comments were glorious. We've actually been planning for that post for months. Every episode, we would guess what Dawn's involvement would have been in it.

Ah, a conspiracy! And he doesn't suspect a thing?

Well, it was all in rot13, and there were constant reminders that we couldn't actually call her Dawn since she isn't named in that first episode.

It was actually pretty timely because we'd just spent The Princess Bride doing the same thing (pretending Morgenstern was real), except that time, he was totally doing it too. Then the tables were turned!

It was fun to watch some of the newbies be totally confused, like, wait, did I REALLY somehow miss this character all this time?? Now it's an amusing little game to continue.

...We make our own fun.

So, what is rot13? Is that all the gibberish writing?
