You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

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.

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.

Mostly yes. But not always. Season 6 for example?

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.

To every idea a shelf...

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?
