I'm always curious to find out other people's thresholds.
I think ita's got a little of her Mom's mad scientist in her.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Nou, I know exactly what you mean about the collective opinion and the freshness. It's part of the reason I've decided to stay completely unspoiled for the past year-and-a-bit. If it's one thing to partake if you're an American, imagine if you haven't even seen the episodes yet.
I love going back after I've seen an ep and reading the live posts, though.

I kind of agree with Noumenon about the groupthink. I mean, I've come across people, real hardcore Buffy fans, who seriously think that everything about Glory was utterly fabulous. I don't think I would have even let myself entertain that idea!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Angus, the "utterly fabulous" line as applied to Glory only makes me think about how wonderful the character would have been if Patsy or Edina from AbFab had the role.

Actually, Anne, I first wrote "absolutely fabulous" and changed it for that very reason...

I don't have a problem going against the groupthink. But I do understand getting Buffy-fatigue from discussing the show instantly after it airs. In that way, I'm glad that I have a 24 hour advance viewing, as my brain is fairly slow to process things. Of course, when the majority are in the "Best. Episode. Ever!" mode, I'm already in "Actually, now that I think about it...." mode.
I also have no compunction about skipping the show threads if I am not in the mood. And I love watching "live". It's a giddy thrill.

Oh god, is it too late for Joanna Lumley to be a Buffy villain? That's just a brilliant idea.

Yes, absolutely fabulous.

Fiona and other Un-A s who were asking about Firefly:
The second episode, Tim written and directed, rocked like a rocking thing. Giddy anticipation is again the proper mood.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
Buffy's back (reruns that is). on 7 Australia. Who with their usual custom are giving it no publicity.
Anyway Tuesday 10:30pm with Gingerbread which unbelievable as it is, is where they left off way back last year.
