To every idea a shelf...

I was spoiled for the whitefonted thing - I didn't know the context or which episode it was happening in, but I've been waiting for it for months. It was still a shock, but I wish I hadn't known it was coming. That's the only thing I was spoiled for so I'm good for the rest of the season, apart from one seemingly unavoidable casting spoiler.

Andrew's Faith backstory monologue/montage was SO GREAT!

That was priceless! I love Andrew. In an 'I want him to be my pet' kind of way. Okay, you twisted my arm... sometimes there's a smidgen of 'lusty wrong thoughts' love mixed in there too.

Nathan Fillion was great

Channel 7 have been screening the last season of Two Guys and a Girl at 2pm weekdays, so I just kept thinking: "Johnny! It's Johnny!" You know, in between the VCR brooding.

I'm used to BtVS being a leetle more subtle than that.

Mostly yes. But not always. Season 6 for example? The Magic=Drugs metaphor was like a baseball bat and an anvil in one. A banvill.

Just saw Sacrifice

Not sure how I feel about this ep. I enjoyed it but as with the last couple of eps I found it kind of boring. I liked creepy clicky demon guy. I was really creeped out when the little kid started speaking in Jasmine's voice. Not sure how I feel about ending another season with an inter-dimensional romp.

I'm picturing a Fred Nile-sponsored alternative to the G&L Mardi Gras.

Bwah!!! "We're here! We're repressed! We're sensibly dressed!"

Oh, I was totally unspoiled for it, BTVS hasn't shocked me like that for ages. It was great.

Leigh, I guess maybe you're right, but it's just nice to have a really charismatic villain after, what, three seasons without one? (Evil Willow excepted.) Pity he's only around for a few eps.

Oh, yeah. Still, Andrew lust in no way compares to the wrongess of my..uh 'thoughts' on Caleb. It's residual Firefly love, that's what it is. Uh-huh.

Indeed. But I was thinking mostly about the empowerment thing. It's been a goal of the series since the beginning (as seen in the tired old blond-in-the-alley story which interviewers always bring up when they're talking to Joss), but it's been handled with great finesse--it's never been the Issue with a captial letter before.

Oh, yes. It was a relief, really, after the First's ineffectual crapitude over the past half-season. I would have liked it better if they had realised how much the incorporeal thing wasn't working in terms of dramatic tension earlier, and had Caleb been less of an afterthought.

Oh, I get it. Yep, you're right, it's usually more subtle, underlying all the other Issues they deal with but not offered up on a platter.

Maybe it is the Firefly factor, because I've never seen it and I wasn't attracted at all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Aww. You people who haven't seen the rest of S4 AtS are SOOOOO CUTE!!!

Just saw Sacrifice. 'Twas a delightful gay romp.

The thinking with his heart stuff got the Wes/Angel crew going, that's for sure.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

4 hours later and i'm still in a daze. Xander's eye. Xander's fucking eye!!

on the plus side, it'll make sighting on the bow easier, plus he can now say "arrgh, me hearties" and not look naff.

I'm glad this is the last season of Buffy. My heart couldn't take much more of this. Damn. Xander's fucking eye!!

Reverand Tightpants is a great villian.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aren't they just precious?

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Notice how Faith ALWAYS moves in on Buffy's men.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, and there's Angel and Spike's women... what of it?
