I got a Very Important phone call which I'd been waiting for all day, and which I had to take, at 8:20. I couldn't tear my eyes off the screen even while I talked very serious stuff with the phoner until 8:55. I will rewatch immediately, but I wanted to come here and say, well,

I'm not sure what, yet. It still hasn't hit that this is it. THis is all. Game over.

Angel's broody enough as is, we don't need broody Buffy and broody Angel.

Oh, I want all broody, all the time on ATS! Think how funny that would be, them all trying to out-brood each other. Wes, Buffy, Angel, Fred ... and Lorne and Lilah just snarking at them. A whole opening scene of nothing but them moping in silence, and then Gunn comes in with jelly doughnuts and they perk right up!

Oh, hey how about the Mutant Enemy guy turning toward the camera, looking all uber vampy?

PB, that Trogdor link is fucking hysterical.

Anya. God did I love her tonight - she was just so Anya in all her scenes. And Xander still loves her.

But I think he should have just let her "I love you" go. Let her think he thought she meant it.

Oh no, I think his response just made the scene. Because, if nothing else was salvagable about their relationship/connection/whatever, they were past the point of lying to each other. It took Buffy a lot to get to that point on her side, and she deserved nothing less from him.

Plei, what was your Sunnydale partybus comment from earlier - damn, I will have to go look and repost (if it's unspoily).

Oh, it's in spoilers, but it's unspoily.

Ahem.

I love that Sidney Cartoning is now a verb.

That is all.

Ah, here it was, from Plei - earlier in the day (that spoiled hussy):

(Who gets to comfort Xander now? Will it be Buffy? Will it be Andrew? Will it be a WHOLE BUS FULL OF NEW SLAYERS?!? Stay tuned for this week's episode of SPB Sexapolloza!)

Talk about bogarting parens!

Except I've spaced on what SPB meant - damn! Back to the threads, ahoy!

Cindy, I live close to Atlanta. And a lot of the time I don't even bother to post because you've already said what I was thinking.

I've briefly met an Amber who is a roomie of a Boston (old time) Bronzer friend's sister, and if you were she, I was going to have a major freak, and make you be my new best friend!

Cindy, that is creepy.

I now have hairs standing up on the back of my neck, and also? I need major medication. I think the wine is having the opposite effect of what is required.

My goodness. I'm useless without this show. And yes, as a married mother of three, I realize that statement is completely infantile. BtVS came around at exactly the right time in my life. I needed things to talk about, thing to think about, that weren't my babies and husband. And I've been fortunate with the friends I've made in this fandom. There's not a bruised banana in the bunch. And I've talked, written and thought so much about serious and important things, and cream rinse, and pink leather pants, too.

t sniff

Slayer Party Bus, IIRC.

Slayer Party Bus

thw thing with Buffy saying I love you-- bear with ,me.. She was short on time and needed to get something through and that is what she felt in the moment.. I remember acting in a show, about to go on, snd the prop person was argueing with me about my prop... And all I could squeeze out of my mouth was "FUCK YOU " and grabbing the prop. Which is exactly what I meant in the moment, bot later on, if I had had more time and more words, I could have stated it better. That is how I see Buffy's "I love you:" She meant it exactly in that second, but 5 minutes later, she might have thought of a better way to express her emotions.
