Bob K., in Buffy, maybe spoilery, so whitefonted JIC.
-- I think the Hellmouth in Cleveland explains Drew Carey, who should be the first Big Bad on the spin-off. --
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
That's only spoilery if you haven't seen Doppelgängland.

UnAmerican, about what Fay should do when she arrives in the USA:
Fay: Perhaps just plant the Union Jack in the soil of California, then, and declare the land the property of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II?
Fiona: No, no, you need a Buffista flag. And declare the land the property of PORN. At least for the duration of your stay.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Jars, in and re: Firefly:
I, too, heart Sci-Fi, but by repeating the last week's episode, they're putting the new episode up against Alias on Sky.
Damn them, making me choose! It's like Sophie's Choice. If Sophie could have had one of her friends tape a child for her. So, not very like Sophie's choice at all then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Green Eyed Monster rears its ugly head in Bureaucracy:
Cindy:
I'm jealous that the Brits have new Firefly. I'd like them warned, suspended, and banned, please.
Allyson:
Secondsies.
Brits. The Other Canadians.

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
Erin G: My cat lost a fang about a month ago, and it's given his mouth a lopsided, sardonic look. I feel like he's mocking me more than ever now.

Maytree, the wise.
Cat fanciers use strange terms to refer to cat features. Persians are supposed to have a "sweet" expression, and while I've met several genuinely sweet Persians, their expressions, to me, always look like "Help! I ran into the refrigerator door face first!" with a touch of "What's that nasty odor?" added in. And short-bodied cats are called "cobby," another word I don't get.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Matt, discussing the randomness that was Nightcrawler's reaction to Storm:
See, now I'm flashing back to Nightcrawler's "so much anger!" to Storm and thinking it would have been funny if each person in that plane had a different extreme impression of her emotional state.
ROGUE: There, there, Storm, don't cry. It'll be all right.
BOBBY: If these guys scare you that much, we must really be in trouble!
JEAN GREY: This is no laughing matter, Ororo.
WOLVERINE: I'm flattered, and it's a tempting thought, but you know my heart belongs to Red there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Madrigal, on the relative intelligence of Rogue in the first X-Men movie:
"Hmm, how should I wake up a large man with obvious PTSD and the ability to shoot claws from his hands from his nightmare? Whatever I do, I should stand as close as possible, and not think of something like switching on the lights." It's like she's got some dominant schmuck bait gene.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
MiracleMan, on the difficulties of meeting up with Buffistas you haven't met before:
I suppose we could just use a modified version of the old "Marco Polo" game...
MM/Aimee: "Buffista!"
NoiseDesign/Aurelia: "PORN!"
