Okay, I go to visit family for one day...not even a full 12 hours and there are 256 posts! See, this is why I cannot leave the computer for lengthy periods of time.

So I'm kinda caught up...Plei, the evil cow. May I tag? I like cows, I think they are cute, it's kind of fitting.

Also one thing I forgot to mention last night, but a small detail I wouldn't normally notice on the first watch. Buffy was wearing pointy shoes during her battle. And okay, I get that is sort of in now, but pointy dress shoes? Come on...wear you damn knee highs, its the end of the world as we know it, bust out some ass-kicking gear. Anyway, after the Magic School Bus stops and Buffy jumps off, the scene where they show her leaping to the ground, my sister was like "hey, the shoes aren't pointy anymore!" Clearly the pointy shoes should have been omitted altogether, they either got nubbed down during the battle...or the stunt double couldn't hack the big leap with the pointy shoes.

I think this works nicely with Buffy's desire for shoes. And, subsequently, mine. That is all.

Oh, and Daniel? I had the bestest dream that you wrote a filk and got JM to perform it for the Buffistas. We were all suitably impressed, too.

heh. Wow. I'm....honored to be filking in your dreams.

DCJ-- LURVE the Sports Night ! Dead on.

Season Five: Buffy dies/Buffy gets to live her life for real.

Also, a portal is closed thanks to someone's self-sacrifice

And he LOVED her and admired her because she was the only thing that he ever believed in and he emulated her and t dissolves into tears

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.

I am posting in slippers! Hee!

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.

BWAHHH!

It seemed to me like on some level Spike was horrified at his connection to the Turok Hans. I'm not able to really articulate this right now, so I'll let someone else do it for me.

Yes! I felt that too. James Marsters is an amazing actor who can express in the silence and the tiny motions.

Wow! Every time I think about that insecure little girl at the plate suddenly no longer being insecure, and how far she's gonna hit that ball, I just get all teary.

Man, Sean, all of the GOOD cyber-husbands are taken!

Angel/Spike/Lindsey. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I like that we don't know what Spike and Buffy did. It was private.

I'm drowning in footwear!

Hey, I also just want to say how much I love the Buffistas! You guys made every good episode of Buffy better and every "meh" episode interesting. And if I combine all of your fanwanks, I actually get a season that made complete and total sense!

Wenda - if Spike and Buffy did have sex in the pre-school bus scene, how does that mitigate your bad feelings about her?

It's not the sex in the sacred pre-schoolbus, uh, or whatever. It's being in love with him, or willing to be in love with him once this whole darned apocalypse is over, that mitigates my feelings.

The sex is really a separate issue. Though, were I forced to link them, I would probably argue that in Entropy, Buffy told Spike she wouldn't sleep with him because she didn't love him, so if she did sleep with him, that means she loves him.

*Throws victor a shoelace*

Grab on!

I like that we don't know what Spike and Buffy did. It was private.

It just occurred to me that we never did find out what was in the note she left him after the best night of his life. Just like we never did find out what happened last year when she and Angel met up someplace in between. I really love that - that this character whom we and countless others have been scrutinizing and micro-analyzing to death still managed to have these little pockets of her fictive life entirely secret and private unto herself.

And if I combine all of your fanwanks, I actually get a season that made complete and total sense!

You're too kind, but I think if you combine all of our fanwanks, you'd have a story with all the clarity of Umberto Eco and the direction of a blind gopher. But it would definitely be entertaining! (As both Eco and blind gophers often are.)

Hee - I noticed those pointy shoes too, and thought "aww, it's Buffy wearing inappropriate clothes for a battle one last time! Yay!"
