Me too, Dana.
Wierdly, Arcadia is the only episode of the XiFiles I have seen. And I have seen it several times, just flipping through channels.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If I were in charge of television, comas would be banned as a plot device.
Hee. In classic Buffista style, I read this as "commas would be banned" and was all, what? No! And then I finished my double take and was fine. Yes. Comas. Fine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Arcadia
I love the moment when she suddenly realizes that she was patting his hand.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
In classic Buffista style, I read this as
promos that say "the team loses one of its own" when the victim turns out to be someone we've met once, hacking into computer systems by typing random keys really fast and people who don't wear seatbelts.
Perhaps in my own classic Buffista style I conflated all the examples in the second quote, and was trying to figure out what stray team member we've seen die because they easily hacked into a computer system and didn't wear a seatbelt. Were they using a laptop? Maybe while driving? And then my brain wrenched its way back to the proper channel.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh, I would watch Ginger's network. In a heartbeat. I feel like adding to your list, but that may suffice for now.
The problem with the Medium finale is that she JUST HAD a fucking medical crisis like 4 weeks ago - the ep with Jeffrey Tambor. They stack these medical crises on Allison as if anyone normal adult could still be mobile, walking around and employed by the DA's office.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I am watching a syndicated episode of Bones on TNT. I hadn't realized that Zach had gotten home from Iraq in the same episode that the Gormagon's first victim was found. Also, I miss Zach and really wish they had gone deeper into what happened in Iraq and how it lead to him working for Gormagon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think we would have gotten that, if the writers' strike hadn't shortened the season.
And least, I choose to believe so.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oh, I do too. I think they could still give that too us though. The team still doesn't know that Zack didn't kill anyone. I was really hoping they were going to find a way to deal with it this season, and the delve into his motives for what he did do a little deeper, instead of that stupid dream finale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
