I'm watching the S3 Angel DVDs for the first time. I'm quite amused by the Billy commentary.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Ooo, I told Allyson she should listen to that one. It made me appreciate the episode technically, even if I couldn't get past the, y'know, with the whatzis. And yeah, they were very funny, too.

With the exception of the title, the episode didn't bug me much. It didn't have me diving for the remote to rewatch, either. But, you know, didn't hate it.
The commentary cracked me up. "Everybody's wrong...We're so boring...Ooooh, that's cool."

I'm a big fan of that commentary as well. And the episode.

What's wrong with the title? What do you think it should have been titled? (Note: inquisitive tone, not bitchy.)

The Line What Joss Wrote bugged me a lot, and try as I might, I cannot separate it from the story. Plus at the time I had a crazy-making argument on TWoP about some aspect, so I sorta associate the episode with feeling frustrated and terribly incoherent.

Which line? Is it the primordial misogyny thing? Or a different thing?
ETA: I don't really remember the post-episode conversation. I think that maybe I walked away.

The primoridial misogyny, yes. The "Blame Joss!" chorus made me laugh and laugh.
I remember reading the conversation here, and being amused by it because it wasn't my problem. Heh. I think my issue at TWoP was some kind of weird thing that only bothers me, but since I was explaining it badly I got frustrated, and that did nothing to improve my temper. I may still have the thread, actually; I saved it for a while to remind myself to calm the hell down.
I feel like somewhere Tim is moaning, "First they bring up Spike again, and now they're talking about 'Billy.' Sigh. Let's talk about 'That Old Gang of Mine,' and then you can make me drink tabasco sauce!"

Don't forget the demon tree with DSL, Strega. Part of a balanced Tim-fest.

Let's talk about 'That Old Gang of Mine,'
I wasn't gonna go there. But since you brought it up...

And I'm supposed to be the mean one... Poor, poor Gunn. For both of those. And just in general.
On a kinder note, I saw part of "Reunion" this morning. It still makes me so happy.
