I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Anyone else think that the line "XANDER: And not a sister. " is a shoutout/flashback to Xander's dream in RESTLESS? Specifically, Buffy calling Xander "Big (?) brother".

I also loved the line that made Nora and Cindy laugh.

Oooh, victor. I like that a LOT!

And eww, I just had the horrible thought of what if Amy's "boyfriend" is Anya.

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

I like Victor's theory!

Ditto. I'd never heard that bit about Joss saying it was all about Anya, but I can see it. I'm still not sure about the Muppety part, but the Odin, yeah. Consider the time and place "Aud" came from.

What is even happening?

Oh victor, I've missed your Giles-is-Ethan-Rayne-get-out-your-tinfoil-hat theories.

Wrod. I think this one is even better, though, and is much more likely to be valdiated (since there seems to be some meta to support it).

I like victor's theor, too.

Of course, I wanted this:

Giles-is-Ethan-Rayne

To be true so bad that when it wasn't, I was very disappointed.

Also, from that review linked upthread:

"And I have to say I'm getting increasingly impatient with [Andrew]. I mean, he's apparently straight, yet in being surrounded by a legion of hot women he seems to make nary a move for them."

Did this guy even watch the last two seasons? Andrew is NOT straight.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

DeKnight and Goddard seemed to reclaim him for heterosexuality in "The Episode of Which We Will Speak No More. Ptui!The Girl in Question."

More power to them, as at least he now only represents a grave insult to me via the condemnation of his geekhood, rather than including condemnatory stereotypes of gay men as frivolous and weak.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That was my "favorite" part of the "review" as well, Sean.
