Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'


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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There was a lot of non-love in the comments!

They said it was racist! Dumbasses. They know nothing of Lucha Libre's proud history.

I mean, that episode is not only a super affectionate nod to Lucha movies, but it's also incredibly funny and it has a lot of heart and even as a standalone it reflects nicely back to Angel's story arc for the season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I bumped into a WEIRD commenter somewhere that thought Smile Time wasn't funny. I have no idea what the topic was, but still. I pointed out that whatever parallels he was drawing would go better with a less popular episode, and they seemed startled. Unsurprisingly to *me*, I got more "me too"s than they did.

HEATHENS.

I hated Numero Cinco and Smile Time. I also hated The Avengers. Do I have to surrender my Buffista card now?

No, but I'm not sharing my au gratin potatoes until you change your mind.

I am pointing and shrieking like Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers.

I would also like some au gratin potatoes, please.

They're not done yet. At the moment they're taunting me with the delicious scent of their spudly cheesy goodness.

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

We simply demand your firstborn. (This has nothing to do with your complete and utter wrongness; we just think he's ADORABLE.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I did not enjoy Numero Cinco. I didn't hate it, but I was just bored.

Oooh, I agree with P-C.
