Actually if you substitute "Hush" for "Something Blue" that list would pretty much be my top 10. Since I think of "Prophecy Girl" as the best episode of the series, I'm glad to see it up there.

Prophecy Girl is also, I think, the most accessible season finale to the casual viewer. (Unsurprisingly, as they'd had only half a season to build up mythology.)

I hesitate to say "hey, let's do a deathmatch to find our top episodes!" only because those who suggest such things usually get volunteered to run them and wow, do I not have time to do that....

(Amy and I are about to do a two person deathmatch in SPN--the accounting will be simple)

Wow, that sounds sad.

(Like that is news)

Beau asked me: "What was Giles' first name?"

I answered, but thought: "is THAT the Buffy trivia you want to test me with first thing this morning? Bring IT!"

(Want to see the post totals again and laugh at me?)

(Yes)

Blastr says that Jeff Pruitt has released a bunch of behind the scenes stuff from Buffy - which you can find on his youtube page.

The Theology Of "Angel" In The City Of Demons

While I've spent decades studying and occasionally practicing religions that appealed to me, I don't much believe any of them. The theology of the television series "Angel" is different, in that you think you're only watching a spinoff of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but then you realize it's an accurate reflection of reality. A religion usually starts off telling you it's true, and then goes about trying to convince you with this or that story or rule. Also, the realm of "Angel" differs significantly from modern Christianity or Judaism or Hinduism or Voodoo or the pagan-infused Catholicism of Ireland or Eastern Orthodoxy of the Balkans, because the realm of "Angel" is essentially Gnostic. Our world is a black iron prison ruled by cruel alien monsters, while a distant Powers That Be are separated from us by an immense gulf of space, time, understanding and several hundred thousand years of inbreeding with the demons who prowl our world.

Aisha Tyler interviews Seth Green for her Girl on Guy podcast.

Worth it for many things but not the least hearing him talk about doing "commercials with Sarah Geller in New York when we were kids and then later doing Buffy."

I'd known about him acting with AH in My Stepmother's An Alien, but not that he'd done commercials with SMG.

Also, interesting allusions to staying "at the Oakwood during pilot season as a teenager with all the guys cast in The Outsiders, and Leo and Tobey."

Also also, the previous podcast to this one is with Felicia Day.
