Well, unless we someday get an actual Buffista living in Perth, I guess. It could happen!
True; I was thinking specifically about commenting on
Buffy
episodes, because if this is the last year (confirmation anyone?), then there's not much time left for that to happen. Um. Overthinking, as usual. And now I'm off to make dinner, so feel free to talk about "Beneath Me" in living color--I won't be back until after I see it.
Kate! Throw a rock and Min's house and wake her up so she'll IM me.
Or you could ask Angus, since he's at least on the same coast...
[Edit: Ooh yeah, slumbernut!]
comment by amych in the Buffy thread re: final scene that I really agreed with.
Wrod. I (spoiler for comment, and this may be going overboard with the whitefonting)
don't know Hamlet as well as I know some other Shakespeare plays, but that's a very apt comparision. The staginess didn't get to me until a third or fourth re-watch, though, due to the completely-wrapped-up-in-Spike thing I have going.
Serial: x-posty in a major way with Kate's post saying she's gone.
Holy shit. This show is so fucking good. I didn't cry, but I can fully understand why you would.
Glad you liked it Kate. And the fact that
I am still here
to see you post about it reminds me that I should bloody well go to bed now!
I think I did, the first time. There aren't many TV shows that can make me cry. But that final, ultra-dramatic shot? Had me. Totally.
No! Stay and talk to me! ...Or, um, go to bed and sleep like a halfway-normal person. Your choice.
But that final, ultra-dramatic shot? Had me. Totally.
I WAS SPOILED FOR THAT SHOT! Argh! I was so mad. (OTOH, I now think I've seen everything I've been spoiled for, which is good.) My mother, well-meaning as always, sent me a package here at my friend's house in which she included an article about Spike that she'd cut out of the newspaper, must've been the Boston Globe. I tried to resist, I really did... but of course, my Buffy-starved self couldn't hold out, and I read the article. In which the final scene of this ep was described, especially the final shot. And then I kicked myself. Grr, argh.
Oh! That's a shame- it does take some of the power out of it. But even so- pretty powerful, huh?
