Also the last line of the review was perfect, re W&H:
My god, I hope Darla annihilates those assholes.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.
Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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.

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?).

Riley getting sucked off by vamps.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hey Sunil, has he watched The Body yet? I hope he doesn't watch it in that coffee shop.

Right? Based on his general viewing schedule, I think he may watch it on Memorial Day? I am trying to finagle a way to watch it with him (I also have to present him with the Buffy board game we bought him), but I haven't heard from him since he got back from his tour.

Mark watched "I Was Made to Love You" yesterday:
I've pretty much been so fucked up about the end of "I Was Made to Love You" that I can't write. No this is the darkest timeline. Take it back. :(
Tweets:
Yes, I have seen that "thing" in season 5 of 'Buffy.' No, I am not "okay" by any definition of the word. Next week will be messy as fuck.
ps: joss whedon is evil and he just retroactively killed 40 million puppies and that's a lot of puppies. pps: THIS IS THE DARKEST TIMELINE.
ppps: i am going to watch the episode after the "thing" very soon and fuck me, i am not excited. pppps: how can i change fiction.
ppppps: i sort of treat twitter like a present for all my ~*fans*~ so I like to tweet stuff that will never be in reviews as a ~*thank you*~
pppppps: pretty sure joss whedon is going to punch me in the feelings with 5x16. just right in the fucking feelings.
