It was "Checkpoint," not "Triangle."
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Hm, maybe I could've missed it in that episode as a quiet reference.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oddly I don't recall hearing it air either, and unlike "Triangle" I rewatched "Checkpoint" several times without fear of traumatic amnesia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This did come up before, and the consensus was that it did air, but I can't find the cite close to hand.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just checked, and it's in the shooting script for "Checkpoint," but not the transcript.

It's like some conspiracy. I was going to check out the quote in the episode, only to realize that the tape it's on was borrowed by my friend's girlfriend and never returned.

Thanks for all the fish.
Fine, fine, I'll check the tape (at some point) and get back to youse all.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
Sorry to skip to the end just to bitch, and this may have been mentioned before, but I just couldn't bear to read 2800 messages when I'm so far behind in Buffy 2>3.
For some reason I get this quote:
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.
Gunn, 'There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb'
On practically every page. It's a classic, but I'm so tired of it! Is it just me?
Also, what was the upshot on the whole Buffy-Angel quotes not being separated to avoid spoilage discussion? (I was going to ask if there was any discussion of this, but then I remembered this was the Buffistas I was dealing with - of course there was discussion. That's why I ♥ Buffistas.)

They know, abby. It's a database thing but no one knows why it shows up more often.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
I've been wondering if it should be changed to Willow's line from Weight of the World about "We've already dejaed this vu," but then I think other people might find that more annoying.
Also, for the record: Angus G.
Perhaps we should have an "Aussie counter" (or a "Backward Antipodean Counter") somewhere on the site so people don't have to keep asking. Low priority feature request?
seemed to want to be mentioned in this thread.
