Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hmmm. 3, 2, 4, 1, 6, 7, 5.

As an Angelino-in-Exile, I can say that this is funny, funny shit.

I had a feeling you'd appreciate that, victor.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, and prooof positive that Buffy and Spike did not have sex again: Spike was clothed. Now, Buffy may well put clothes ona gain afterward, but--as we've learned these past two season--Spike has an immense reluctance to put on clothes unless he really, really has to. If he could, he'd be all nude, all the time.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd probably go 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 7, 6. But I was pretty happy with each season, do there's really not much distance between seventh place and fourth.

That's why I thought there was no sex, too. I think his t-shirt was even tucked in.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7.

As bad as Glory was, S6 and S7 both felt like a completely different show to me. Maybe they were better, but it's like apples and oranges comparing them to the first 5 seasons. They just don't feel like the same show at all to me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, and prooof positive that Buffy and Spike did not have sex again:

Not in the first scene. We think they did it in the SECOND scene, where she comes in from outside, they look at each other, and the next thing we see is a school bus outside an abandoned school, an obvious symbol of the fundamental emptiness of sex with a dead man.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Victor-- I think they may have had sex the second night (reading the script there really are 2 nights and I am not crazy) when there is just a shot of Buffy coming down to the basement and her and Spike looking at each other. i think it is delibrately ambigious.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Favorite season? 3. All the rest are in a jumble - the ones that had arcs or Big Bads I didn't like had some of my favorite standalones, the ones that had some of the individual worst episodes ever also had some of the best - sometimes even the greatest defining moments for this or that character. The best I can say is 3, and then a long list ranking all the individual episodes from all the other seasons, but I absolutely cannot rank the seasons themselves.

I loved last night. Someone else, or possibly multiple someones, pegged it as not specially intellectually satisfying, with any number of plot and season and arc nits to pick, but immensely emotionally satisfying, and that's exactly what it was for me. Everyone was absolutely emotionally true, Joss gave the writing his all, and the actors gave their performance of that writing their all. I can't wait to rewatch (going over to David's to rewatch, in fact, in just about an hour, and impatient to be there already): there was such energy and joy and rich, layered truth and weight to it. To these characters, these people, whose imaginary world may have any number of logical inconsistencies but who are themselves Real in all the most important ways.

Can't wait to read the shooting script.
