Like, a handful of us could spend half an hour collaborating and come up with punchier, more pointed, more true-to-the-characters lines with almost zero effort; just that meh.
Didn't a group of us do exactly that?
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yes, indeed we did, which is how I know precisely how meh it was. And I don't remember anyone having to fiddle much with the plot, just the dull dull things the actors were forced to say. And then the following week the writing was back on track.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
...makes me think he's watching a different show. Spiral? Really?
I'd like to point out that I loved "Spiral" at the time. And to be fair, it's one of those episodes that lends itself to watching the series straight through.
Also, Mark irony points:
So, at this point on this show, I basically feel like anyone who isn’t Buffy can die.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I now have nostalgia for when my job was so easy I could collate everyone's rewrites into an actual script while "working".

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

Me too. I love how it's a mini-action movie. I didn't notice any major dialogue issues. It's confused me that it's so hated here.

It was really hard to keep a straight face when he said that to me.
We watched the finale last night, and he filmed his reaction for the whole episode. It was pretty hilarious how much he cursed Joss Whedon.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I like Spiral, but I boggle every time Mark mentions Elizabeth Rohm's amazing range and how much he adores her character on Angel.
