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.

I don't know why I'm excited- I have several bits of fic that are going to be throughly Jossed. Are Jossed. Whatever.
This brings up an interesting question - what tense are you supposed to use in this case? There seems to be some realativity problems involved here.
Yeah- I have been Jossed to a reader who's seen season 7, but not to myself, because I haven't. So am I, or am I not, Jossed? It's a paradox- has things in common with Schrodinger's Cat.
You are Jossed, you just don't know it yet. And you should go ahead anyway, because I for one like AUs.
I don't plan on letting a little unknown Jossing stop me- I'm having too much fun.
I think the correct usage is "will have been Jossed." Although I can't remember what tense that is--future perfect?
Yeah. Future perfect passive.
The future, when I see season 7, will be perfect, and I can't do anything about it, so I'm passively waiting for Sky One to show it. Right.
A poster on another list just complained that she, as a Briton, finds Buffy unintelligible and wonders if she has a regional accent.
I said, nope, straight American, and most American TV actors do not use any regional accents.
Do you unAmericans think Buffy has a different accent than the rest of the cast (excluding English and faux-English characters)?
Not an Un-American, but I think Buffy is more unintelligible because of her way of speaking than her accent, which seems free of regionalism to me. Where is she from?
Isn't she from NY or NJ originally?
