Buffistas

Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think the half-length seasons have been good as they've encouraged more economical storytelling, though more time to breathe and explore in A:TLA was of course nice. This was the first season that really got the format down, though.

And the lack of a single overarching plot is also a thing, though not necessarily an Issue. It's just different.

Korra will never, overall, be as good as A:TLA, but it's poised to complete its run as a worthy successor.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Donald Glover cast in Disney XD's The Ultimate Spider-Man: [link] (character info at link). THIS IS PERFECT.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Has the show gotten any better? While I love that they're doing this, the last time I tried to watch the show it was pretty bad.

I haven't seen it, due to lack of cable and lack of motivation to buy it from iTunes (or wherever it lives). Still love the casting of Donald Glover.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just mainlined all 26 episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig.

I love grownup anime!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's good stuff.

Wait, there's a sequel series? I haven't even watched...any of Ghost in the Shell ever!

There's 2 called Stand Alone Complex. They're about 26 episodes each. They sre talky and thinky and you have to pay attention because nothing is really a throwaway. Very cool animation and future concepts.

animetoon.tv is where I watch.

And they have Season 5 Archer, and the original The Tick!

Season 5 Archer

Okay, I have 2 Archer-related general questions:

(1) Many non-Buffista people have complained on FB that S5 sucked. I thought it was a weird departure, but I still liked it. What's the general consensus on S5 around these parts?

(2) And what's your favorite season?

Not my favorite, but still had a lot of great moments.

(2) And what's your favorite season?

S2 in a walk! Archer's cancer storyline was unbelievable! So dark and so funny and so on point.

Plus it had Double Deuce (backstory on Woodhouse) which has some of my favorite bits and line readings ever. Emmett and I still emulate Archer's "That's a lot of scalps."
