I have in fact done this.
Me too, following Jess's example.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.
Anya ,'Potential'
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!
So this is pretty amusing: Buffy dubbings from around the world.

Lulzy unintentional Mark speculation, on his writeup of "The Trial"
I also understand that there’s another layer to this, though, because turning Darla into a vampire again could have utterly disastrous complications. What if she turns against Angel and his friends? What if she decimates Wolfram & Hart? Wait, can that happen? As much as I love those characters, it would be hilarious if she like blew up the building after drinking everyone. I know that would mean that Sam Anderson wouldn’t be on the show, but I would heal.

Also the last line of the review was perfect, re W&H:
My god, I hope Darla annihilates those assholes.

Well, Mark posted his "Triangle" review and, unsurprisingly, was lost in the hilarity. But what I'm starting to notice is - is it just me or is he really missing the warning signs about Willow? Or is it just that I'm looking back from a post-S6 perspective and the signs weren't as clear as I remember?

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

Actually he said something prescient about that other day but it might've been in an Angel review. Something about how lame it was to use the addiction metaphor (maybe for Vampirism?).

Yep. I was like...wait till season six, dude.

They're much clearer in hindsight, for sure. He's noted Willow's callous use of magic a couple times before, but he hasn't really identified it as a negative pattern.

I feel certain he'll get it as of the Actual Car Crash, if not before.
Well, unless the anvil dropping on his head actually kills him.

He loved the episode with Riley's departure - I think invulnerability to anvils is his superpower.
