I particularly liked the icon: "Hating me won't make you pretty." Just says it all, doesn't it?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

On don't-feed-the-trolls front, I will resist the temptation to reply there; besides, the inhabitants seem to have done a fine job. However:
If you all were in a real zombie situation you would argue until you were all dead
And you would survive because your brain is so unspicy as to be inedible. Isn't that a comfort to you?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Bless us, Fandom, for we have sinned. It is four and a half months since our last update. Since that time we accuse ourselves of the following new recommendations:

I've seen it recced on BetterBuffyFic, but I haven't read any of it. I find virtual seasons odd.

Perkins, the writers involved are all good, and the first "episode" or two rocked. Then I stopped reading it, because of the whole pregnancy thing (and the finding virtual seasons weird, too thing), so I can't tell you anything more about it.

I agree on the weird thing, but it did seem like good writers. Mebbe I will read one or two, just to see.

For what it's worth, I've read most of them and wasn't impressed despite good writers being involved. Spoilery:
It takes elements I'd complained about in later seasons (everyone the protagonists meet being a demon or knowledgable about same, Spike & Angel's infantile "am not!"/"are too!" arguments) and magnifies them into about 75% of the total content. Oh, and there are the stories where Gwen Raiden races in to the rescue as a deus ex machina, and subsequently takes Illyria for a Girl's Night Out to teach it how a modern woman should be empowered by her sex appeal.

Oh! Oh! And the finale is essentially the Star Trek novel Q-Squared with Angel characters plugged into the plot in place of Picard, etc.
