Apart from anything else it was easier to do the maths in those days.
To be fair, US$0.50 and 33p UK aren't too hard to work with.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I can recommend Turkey...
Edit: seriously, in the year 2000, the only currency, anywhere in the world (including even New Zealand), that underperformed the Australian dollar was the Turkish lira. This was of some small comfort to us, since while we were there our dollar dropped 10 cents against the greenback.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, as you can tell by the Buffy thread message count spinning like an odometer at the Indy 500...it was a great episode. Scary too. And Funny. And HSQ.

And how about the season so far, Hec? (And others) How's it shaping up? Angel too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good season. I like it.
Angel is rockier, but still has some good stuff.

If I only had a brain...
Buffy's been one of the strongest seasons out of the gate ever, I think we agree.

Excellent.
I think I can forgive Angel anything, as long as there's lots of Connor-y goodness. Is Cordy still an angel? No, don't answer that, I'll find out for myself. Eventually.

I'd concur with Betsy and ita. No weak links so far. It's been exceptionally well written this year. New!Drew (one of the new writers) has got a raving fanclub already. It's bothering some folks, but I love the fact that they're revisting so much of their history, but with twists and angles and very funny jokes.
Angel too.
Up and down but pretty good. Opener had many "Whoa!" moments, and the last episode - written and directed by Joss - was very, very funny. They seem to be repairing some of the things that went off last year. Both shows are gearing up for major arcs - and my spoilage is such that I'm very excited about where they're going.
