Although, upon reflection, that scenario seems more Anne Rice-ish than Buffyverse. Or perhaps True Blood.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Amber Benson is about to give a talk in my company's cafeteria, and I'm going to miss it because I have to go to a sprint review. #buffistaproblems.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aw! I was hanging out with her at BayCon. Sorry you have to miss the talk!

OMG, Mr. Trick was nominated for a Tony - for a second time. Again, I say that his character was WASTED.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
OMG, I love Todd Freeman SO MUCH. I think the first thing I ever saw him in was a recurring on Sisters, where he was playing a direct ripoff of the trans character from Midnight in the Garden. Script and series soap aside (also where Mr. Clooney had a juicy role he left for ER), Freeman was simply *luminous* in the part. And I've been devoted ever since. I'd have been SO happy if Mr. Trick had been the Big Bad, instead of Mr. "I just want to be a giant snake".

Relatedly, I slept very long last night, and I had a Buffy dream, which I haven't had in a long time, and which I always enjoy. This time, I had to run a 5K in order to sneak past the city limits without raising the suspicions of the Big Bads, and my shoelaces kept breaking and I was carrying a backpack of magic books needed for the asskickery, and I was BITCHING MIGHTILY that I hadn't trained and that I was actually Not A Runner, so I was going to get there WAAAAY after Buffy, so would she carry the goddamn backpack of books, Miss Superstrong?!
Which goes to prove that while I will help you save the world, I will complain every damned step of the way about the little stuff, even though I am pretty stoic about actual pain.

True story: my cousin just sent me an email:
"Steph, I just started watching Buffy. I am on season 1, episode 7. Please tell me Angel doesn't disappear forever."
AWESOME! I kind of envy her, getting to watch it all new from the beginning.
(I replied "Angel definitely doesn't disappear forever -- I promise! He's around for a LONG time.")

Please tell her to refrain from reading ANYTHING online about the show. I love the idea of someone coming to this completely without knowledge of what happens. Also, tell her to ignore any comics if she's a comics person at all.
