Oh, as usual, dear, from Mark reads:
PS: I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER, TVTROPES. FOREVER.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.
'Time Bomb'
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, Mark. You have been so, so set up.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
P-C, has Mark/have the moderators considered not allowing comments for his post on Seeing Red? It just feels like a huge shitstorm is coming.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Teppy is wise. No comments period, or maybe redirect all comments to a separate discussion thread well away from the actual review, where the other moderators can moderate the shit out of it and Mark can just completely ignore it all for at least a few days.
It sucks because some of the commenters are really smart and thoughtful and spicy-brained, but the shitstorm is just guaranteed to be so epic, bile-filled and distressing and nobody needs either a repeat or, God forbid, an escalation of the previous shitstorm.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Mark is prepared. He's going to be more active in the comments and has various pages to link to.

I admire him, and the rest of you moderators. I wouldn't want to deal with the comments on that episode.

Along with his gifs and all-caps Muppet-arms glee, Mark also has a gift for the occasional totally off-kilter understatement. From his review of "Forgiving" (the Holtz-kidnaps-Baby-Connor episode):
My god, I really hate Holtz now. He’s so gross and inconsiderate!
It's weirdly endearing.
