'Serenity'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Primarily an Unamerican thing- although I'm now wondering if this should be in Previously. Oh, what the hell, here will do.
I just saw 'Once More With Feeling' (BBC cut). I haven't seen it before, and I'm tending toward thinking that it's the best 'funny' ep. since Superstar. Yes?
Define "funny"?
Define "funny"?
In this context, used to mean funny as opposed to heartrendingly sad ('The Gift' is sad; 'Superstar' could be argued as sad but is more likely to leave us laughing than crying). So, basically, I'm laughing not crying (mostly).
Well I think OMWF is one of the saddest episodes of all, at the end.
But I know what you mean. And there are three "funny" episodes, in the sense of "funny peculiar", aren't there? Hush, Superstar and OMWF.

I'd throw The Body (as it were) into that category.
OMWF is sad at the end, and I added a 'mostly' on because there were tinges of sadness throughout. But while I suspect that a re-watch with a mind for the things that are really happening to the people (ie, a fic writer's viewing) will bring me close to tears, my intial reaction was to try to fall out of my chair with the laughing too hard.
Hush, Superstar and OMWF.
I've never seen 'Hush'. Sadly. But I'd count things like Beer Bad and Fear Itself in the 'funny' bag.
In terms of format of the show, "The Body" is certainly different in that it contains no music, but I'm not sure I'd put it into that category.

Go out and rent it now!
Go out and rent it now!
I would, I would, if a) I could get to rental place, and b) folks who've been on my behalf in past have discovered that our local rental shops (both of them) don't have any Buffy. Which is pathetic. So I'm waiting for them to re-run it, which hopefully they'll do sometime. Sky One skipped it this summer. They also skipped The Body, which I also missed.
Before I was ill I really didn't keep up with Buffy very well, did I? And then I didn't watch any when I was very ill. It's this convalesing that's got me obssesive.

It's true what they say. That which doesn't kill us really does make us stronger.
