But are her character's parents still dead?
BWAH!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Wait, I may have missed the Buffy reference. Unless you mean "Bored now," which I didn't know whether to take as a reference or not even though those two words have a specific association.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I took "bored now" as a Buffy reference.

I think some of Joss' linguistic styles have made it into general popular usage, either through repetition from the show or because he identified and used particular turns of phrase just before they expanded from Southern California. I've heard Cordelia-speak from a number of unlikely TV characters in recent years and can't imagine that they're all intentional homages to Buffy.

Yeah. "Bored now" is just a concise and effective way to convey that particular sentiment.

Sure, but while some Buffy phrasing/es has been indoctrinated into the ordinary lexicon, you can't deny the origin.

True, but just because someone uses a word that was invented by Shakespeare doesn't mean they're making a Shakespeare reference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd like to think that if you have an ex-Jossverse actor say a Jossverse line, you at least knew it at the time, or you aren't paying attention to your own industry.
