Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Xander ,'Showtime'


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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But there's also the "Is Buffy going to try to die" part. I think he's getting prepared for season's end....

And didn't he make a comment that he never wants to see Spike cry again? Although, after Buffy jumps off the tower, Mark may be so torn up that he won't notice Spike bawling.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I don't think he CAN be prepared for The Body. It's just...GAH. So intense.

But he will love Tara even more after he sees it.

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

But he will love Tara even more after he sees it.

Setting him up for "Seeing Red."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Setting him up for "Seeing Red."

Well, he gets to see her brainsucked by Glory first, which I'm sure will get to him almost as bad.

Always Anti-fascist!

That will be hardest, I predict, cause it goes on longer and they say "crazy" or "insane", like throughout that whole arc. I'm also rewatching season 5 right now, though, and even I don't really want to see "The Body" again, masterful bit of television that it was.My mom kind of looks like Joyce, and she's had cancer, and I totally wasted the fruit-punch speech on that TV Tropes asshole, which, now if he dies, the sad part is, I can't claim responsibility for it.(Ironically, I am more angry about that with distance. Also, more people I know telling me how great TV Tropes is...it just makes me all "That motherless fuck!" whereas, at the time, I did what good detectives never do and got hung up on the "Why?" I guess we're never going to know.) Anyway...

Yeah, it may be another ten years before I go near The Body.

I got a linked in request from him the other day. Ugh.

That's chutzpah. And not in a good way.

Somehow Pete had not discovered TV Tropes until this week. So he's been burbling at me about it, and I finally told him the backstory. His comment was "So that guy's a dickhead. The site is still useful!" Pragmatic, that's my spouse.

Yeah, it may be another ten years before I go near The Body.

sits next to Brenda, offers her some tea.

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

I agree with Pete.
