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.

Jimi--thanks for that link. One for the bookmarks!

In case anyone hasn't caught up with this, according to The Age yesterday, Buffy Season 7 will be starting in Australia on Feb. 11. (No word on Angel.)

Angus, did you see that I got your CD and was playing it at my office? (On nice headphones, so as to be polite to the other workers!) It's a nice break from the steady stream of vintage music that I otherwise soak myself in.

Connie--excellent, glad it arrived in one piece.

Anyway, some of it is vintage music! It goes back as far as 1990, for heaven's sake! In dance music terms, that's like the baroque period.

Does anyone else find the title of this thread slightly offensive? Because I do.

Zoe, it's from BtVS season 5 episode, "Tough Love" quote:

ANYA: Well, that's right, foreigner. So I've been reading a lot about the good ol' us of A (she says "us" not "U.S."), embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it.
WILLOW: Democracy?
ANYA: Capitalism. The free market depends on the profitable exchange of goods for currency. It's a system of symbiotic beauty apparently lost on these old people. Look at 'em. Perusing the shelves. Undressing the merchandise with their eyeballs all ogle, no cash. It's not just annoying, it's unAmerican.

Anya has both context and better delivery.

And it was suggested as a thread title by an Unamerican, I'm pretty sure, if that helps, Zoe.

To be honest it's not my favourite thread title either, although I'm not offended by it as such. But maybe we should compensate by giving the next thread a title that's offensive to Americans.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

I think (though I'd have to check) that it's my title. "UnAmerican Buffistas" certainly is. Frankly, I don't care how the colonials refer to us, though.
