So, Pylea? Love it or hate it? I've gathered it's not too popular, and I can understand why, since it's completely out of left field and weird and maybe doesn't fit with the tone of the show, but it is pretty fun, and it's good for Lorne and gets us Fred. Lots of love over on Mark Watches.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm always struck by how totally different it is from the same stretch of episodes in Buffy that year. Like everyone on the production end was sick of the grim and said, "fuckit, we're doing a whole other thing. And it will be fun, dammit."

Hate with the heat of 10,000 suns.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Sitting with Ginger.
I actually have not been able to rewatch those eps. And (she says in hushed tones), I think there is 1 or 2 of those eps I never actually watched.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I would have liked it better if I didn't have to hear "Handsome Man, saved me from the monsters!" every week in the previouslies.

Well, there were only three, so.
I enjoyed the finale when we watched it on Monday. I'm glad they didn't do something like that ever again, but for a one-time diversion, it was fun. Bring back my noir vampire show now.
I do remember my head exploding at Wolf, Ram, and Hart, though.

Oh God yes.

I thought they were a miserable, sexist and not as funny as they thought waste of good writers and characters.
eta: I count not only the actual Pylea episodes but also all the dreck they left in their wake.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I couldn't really enjoy the Pylea eps much because the sets just looked so cheezy and Xena-leftover.
However, there are lots of good bits and bobs like Angel flipping out about sunlight, Wesley getting his sword wielding on, Queen Cordelia, Fred with bloody fist (Oooh, now I'm remembering the Stor), Numfar doing the dance of shame.
