All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American

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.

The more popular the boards are the more support there is for the show, and the safer S5 is.

I have yet to see any evidence that this is the case.

Not that I have any idea about Angel being in jeopardy or not.

I keep hearing this, I'm working on the assumption that the more people love for the show the better.

I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

In that case, I'm closer to central Europe than you. (Watford, Hertfordshire, too near London for comfort, UK.)

Buffy from European view? Yes. Very good, very good.

A Scot! I grew up in Scotland, Zoe. I even went to school near Edinburgh for a couple of years. (I live in Germany now, though).

(FTR, I love the UnAmerican name, although I've never been wild about the Anya quote.)

Edit: I think I'm the Buffista closest to central Europe, being, you know, in it.

It's a remora, dimwit.

I know one person who fled this page because of the thread titles, but that was because she thought we were trashing the shows since the titles were humorous and mocking. I could understand someone reading it and being offended, but if they took the time to read the thread, they'd get that the title wasn't really indicative...hmm, this is reminding me about that whole thing about people who won't watch BtVS because they can't get past the title.

Actually, the title could seem confusing, since there are a lot of people living in America who now define themselves as un-American - in fact I often refer to myself as a member of the axle of evil. Or one could even interpret the "all ogle - no cash" as this being the thread for links to free porn.

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

I keep hearing this, I'm working on the assumption that the more people love for the show the better.

For values of people that equal people with Nielsen boxes, sure.

None of them post here (now that Steph's excursion is done), and none of them are living outside the US.

iss gut ja?

Ja, si, muy gut.

(Behold! I can mix up European languages of which I only know three words each despite having studied them for two years in one case and three in the other! I can also do the funny German accent but when I try to do the John Cleese walk that goes with it I always fall over!)

Zoe, - personal details deleted. Email me if you missed them -

I don't know Dunfermline very well, but the Perth to Edinburgh bus passes through it.

Ed. Uni or Heriot Watt?

Ed. Uni. My Dad used to teach at Napier. No connection to Heriot.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Er, just for the record: My parents were victims of the McCarthy Era. Actually lost everything and had to start over because of it. And a great many of my family's closest friends suffered in similar ways. And I never for a moment found the title even slightly offensive. But, you know, that's just me.
