Well he's only wrong by one word.
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.
One of the newbies did have an eerily accurate set of predictions:
- Buffy will be brought back but she’ll have trouble adjusting to life again
- Willow’s use of magic will spiral out of control and shit will get real.
- Her reliance on magic will cause a rift in her relationship with Tara. They will break up or something. They’re too happy; Whedon has to ruin it somehow.
- Xander and Anya will break up right before the wedding for maximum Whedon-y pain.
- Dawn will have some heavy shit to deal with. All her family members have left her so I feel like she’ll be more withdrawn this season.
- I'd love to see Spike take care of Dawn because the thought of Spike cooking makes me lol, but I'm not sure how that would work
- Will there be ANOTHER SLAYER? :D :D :D Faith’s in jail, shouldn’t then send a replacement?
- lol I forgot about Rat Amy until I saw my S5 predictions. She will be de-ratted for real!
I'm cynical enough to best case assume contamination, IF NOT OUTRIGHT DECEPTION AND CHEATING.
I can't believe anyone found it painful for Xander and Anya to break up...by the time it happened, I was so *heartily* sick of "Anya blurts about sex...because she doesn't know it's tacky, isn't that HILARIOUS...oh, those wacky demons!" I would have made Emma Caulfield play her whole role with demonic laryngitis if it were in my power to do it. But then they would have just taught her dirty sign language anyway, because somebody was so in love with that one bit.
As I recall, they sort of did in "Hush."
I know...that was kind of funny, because it was early on. (I won't say I never liked those jokes, but by Season 6, it was like having frequent nosebleeds or something.)
Mark watches "The Gift." So now you can see that, yes, he really does react like that.
I do totally envy his unspoiledness. I would love to be watching Buffy and Angel all over again, with it all new to me.
Somehow he knows that there is a musical episode, but he has managed not to find out the title of it. I think the listing in the Comic-Con brochure is just "Buffy: The Musical," so that makes sense if he never read the description.
Someone just bought a video of him watching "Once More with Feeling." He has no idea what it is.
I don't know what that is but I hope it's not terrifying and I pee myself on camera.
Oh, I just watched a little bit of the 2nd part of the Mark Watches The Gift.
Damn, I started crying again, too. I sobbed for a good 20 minutes starting with the "Summer's blood" speech, and then afterwards.
As a person who has dealt with depression a lot, I actually quite like most of Season 6. I watch so MANY of those eps when I feel like I'm entering a depressp episode, and I need a good cry/role model. OMWF, I'm looking at you! (I think I've seen it probably 20 times -- it has its flaws, but I still love it like cake.
