Hrmm. Hate Beer Bad. Didn't think I did, but then I rewatched it and realised I'd dressed up all the best moments in more splendid clothes than they wore onscreen.
Which left nowt in it for me. It's my second least liked ep, just above BvsD.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I think BB may be a writers' episode; reading it (the written word, literally, as opposed to the interpretation) left me nodding and going, yup. Showed this, and this, and this, revealed this about the character with two or three short lines and a lot of intelligence, yup, yup....
Whereas looking at the script for OMWF? Honestly, it's perfect or close to it, but it's really a libretto, or at least it reads that way to me. I can't read it as a writer's script; it's a musician's script.

I like Beer Bad.
Also, Plei has killed me with her Wesley drabbles. I am a puddle of lovesPlei'sWesleysoverymuch goo on the floor.

(actually, did Joss write that one? The knife-edged comedy in there smells Whedonesque or maybe Jane-ish)
I think it was written by Tracy Forbes (who--I think--didn't last long, but I think that's the Tracy Forbes mentioned in your FAQ entry).

correction...
Tracey Forbes (I missed her(?) e) before. She wrote:
4.05 Beer Bad
4.09 Something Blue
4.18 Where the Wild Things Are
At least, she's credited with writing those. In season 4, Joss was still doing a lot of rewrites, I think. Let's pretend he was in a diabetic coma for WtWTA.

Tracey had a taste for sharp-edged slapstick, it seems.

Always Anti-fascist!
OK, I'll cool it with the self-promotion for a while after this, but I know this crowd loves a Girl Power moment. This one is harsher than Joss', though. More Kay and Joyce bonding, cause I never thought Joyce had enough friends. [link] OK, looking at what I ended up with, if they touched a little more, it could be femslash. Which is ok, but kind of unintended by me.

re: Wes drabbles ... mmmmm. foamy.
re: Beer Bad ... tremendous fun. Xander searching for something awful enough to say to the bar owner: "You're a bad, bad man!" And the whole "60s in a [order probably wrong] funky, electric kool-aid Satanic haze" riff. "Want little people!" And Buffy knowing that the fire extinguishier is something she needs but not knowing how to work it . . .
Aw, heck, I love it, too. And not from any writerly way, I just think they had a lot of fun, and fun was getting hard to come by.
