Not to mention, not too many people can fit their assloads into Buffy's outfits.

Honestly? I have this sick curiosity to know Just How Small her clothes are, held up next to me. Because I'm with Aimee on the asshat thing.

They are very teensy tiny. Standing next her when I was 20 lbs lighter, she was still about 1/2 my width, if not less.

cereal.

Just got the Spike quote from Lovers Walk up in the corner.

You're *not* friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. (points at his temple) Love isn't brains, children, it's blood... (clasps his chest) blood screaming inside you to work its will. *I* may be love's bitch, but at least *I'm* man enough to admit it.

Wonder if this was going through his head while watching them kiss last night...

They are very teensy tiny. Standing next her when I was 20 lbs lighter, she was still about 1/2 my width, if not less.

When watching the Body I was utterly distracted during the scene where she's sitting next to Tara. AB looks huge in comparison to SMG. Then I find out that AB is my height, and most likely weighs a considerable amount less. Sheesh.

It's not that she's so small that's strange. It's that people her size look more normal on tv (to me) than "normal" sized people. (Don't want to offend the SMG-sized folk. Just commenting on who gets on tv, which is so bloody tired at this point I'm hoping nobody responds to my post)

Look! New thread! Shiny!

Am I the only one who thought her hair last night was very Season 1 Buffy? Like they actively decided to connect even her hair back to the good old days?

Cordy: "You're so gonna get your ass kicked!"

Angel: "You're so gonna lose."

DB's acting was off (what?!?!) when he read "Aren't you even going to say you miss me?" It wasn't a real question, it was just script bait for the kissage.

Ah, the kissage. The manipulative music. The Angel smirk. The flirting. The punching in the face. The "don't touch my fucking woman, Father Asshole" look.

GOD. DAMN. I MISSED THIS SHOW!

It was in season 3's "Lovers Walk" that Spike ate the shopgirl.

Le oops.

Angel: "You're so gonna lose."

The first time I saw this, I thought he was talking to Buffy. Sigh. Really bad editing on the whole episode.

Again, I find myself with Hayden. It’s a good place to be.

Woo hoo! I'm just happy to find myself among such great company.

Really bad editing on the whole episode.

The fight scene between Buffy & Caleb was the worst. It looked like community-theater fighting.

A long, long, long while back someone objected to the Potentials using the word "punished" to describe their feelings about the bomb. I disagree:

(1) It's Amanda talking. Amanda (the one with a personality!) has worried about rules, entitlement, and approval as long as we've known her (the first "Buffy the Guidance Counselor" episode--was that "Help"?). It makes sense that she'd articulate the feeling of having deserved the loss and injuries as "punishment," because that does seem to be how Amanda perceives the universe.

(2) The Potentials are still kids. Most of their lives have been about learning the rules (of life, of Slayerhood--especially if they were picked up and trained by the Watchers at an early age). They still believe--they probably have to believe, for their sanity--that if only they can figure out the right rules (the right leader, the right way to fight), they can be safe. They can get out of this alive. I think another Potential might have said, "So we got we deserved, huh?" and Kennedy did indeed rephrase Amanda's statement into the more Kennedy-like "It's our fault for following Faith," but the feeling makes sense for all of them.

(3) I really loved Buffy's response to that. And I loved Buffy rescuing them. I love that her actions indicate how much she wants to protect them, but she's still very brusque and uncomforting with them when they ask questions. She's still all focused on the First, and still bloody awful at just chatting with them and trying to make an emotional connection.

Even if James refused to know the answer to the soul/chip puzzle

I'm curious as to why he might have wanted this - any of the actor-people in the crowd have any idea?

RE Buffy, I've figured out part of why her arc didn't really work for me so well this year, and I think it's a POV issue. We were given so little insight into what was going on with her - with any of the regulars, really - that I think I ended up seeing the season from the viewpoint of the potentials. Which is probably not what they intended, but explains a lot about my irritated reactions to her since they showed up.

Did you all catch the Python shout out last night-Giles talking about the holy hand grenade?
