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.

Okay guys, I expert help is needed. I finally got my wife interested in Buffy and angel and we are now in season four/one. I am trying to watch in a way to catch the crossovers right. The lists I've found are designed to reduce disk swapping which is great except we're watching on Netflix. I wish they had just bolded the places it was important to actually follow their order, as sometimes the mood is more for one than the other and I'd like to know if it matters., and without too much reminding.

So, help: which episodes in buffy/angel really benefit from watching one directly followed by the other and where can we go as we will? Our next eps are She in Angel and Goodbye Iowa in Buffy.

Well, there's the big "This Year's Girl"/"Who Are You"/"Five by Five"/"Sanctuary"/"The Yoko Factor" crossover, which you're just about to hit, so, er, better catch up on Angel. (There is an episode of each in between "Five by Five" and "Sanctuary," though.)

And then there's "Fool for Love"/"Darla," which really work as a duo.

There's, like, a mini-crossover that doesn't actually involve any actual crossover for "Carpe Noctem"/"Flooded"/"Fredless"/"Life Serial" that's basically just Angel and Buffy communicating and meeting offscreen, so that probably isn't a huge deal.

"Lies My Parents Told Me" should be watched before "Orpheus."

"Home" should be watched before "End of Days."

Once the shows were on different networks, the airing got out of sync, so it's not that you have to watch one episode before another in sequence; sometimes you have you have to watch episode 17 of one before episode 15 of the other.

The only real x-overs during the last season of Buffy/Fourth season of Angel ares when Willow goes to LA in memfault / comes back with Faith in "Dirty Girls", and Angel's brief visit to Sunnydale (can't remember if it was "Chosen" or the one before that).

The one before that. After traveling to Sunnydale to help prevent the Apocalypse, it was decided that he'd better go back to his own network Los Angeles and wait for signs that Evil had already killed Buffy and all her friends before intervening.

love it.

if someone can remember, would you please link me to his reaction to "Doublemeat Palace?"

Please?

I need to read that badly.

I still love OMWF(although not that much. I don't love ANYTHING, or indeed, *anyone* quite that much) but I have to admit I've turned against SMG's singing more than a little. She really isn't that good at it(nor did she think she had to be, I know that) But still.

She really isn't that good at it(nor did she think she had to be, I know that) But still.

She thought she had to be. She's a NYC kid who grew up going to Broadway musicals. So she didn't want to sing the part because she knew she didn't have the voice for it. But then she realized some singer was going to be doing all these important, crucial scenes for Buffy and she decided to sack up and do the best she could because that was her character.

I'm sure the Autotune helped her gain confidence.
