We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Another monster meara, or may I say Smonster Meara?

the clarity of Umberto Eco and the direction of a blind gopher

victor, may I tag?

Yes, I feel bad about the house. The tilework on the sideboard was gorgeous.

Umm, gorgeous foamboard (S2 or 3 DVD extra) (but I agree)

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.

Dear Spike, ...
Teppy!!

The cross Angel gave her

No, that's on eBay.

Yup. 3 of 'em going for over $2K

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the start of the season none of the creative staff knew if SMG was going to sign on for another season or not?

Your reasonness, joss has said he already knew, but I don’t know if that was a factor in crafting the major arc.

Anya would have died killing Caleb. Vengeance Demon Champion of Women vs The Ultimate Misogynist.

that would have rocked

btw, I actually typed sin-off but caught it in time.

A faith/oz sin-off?!? jilli, your hubby broke me too!

I adore Pete's take, but I seriously think Oz would have given us another pateneted "Huh." not "Oh." You all may debate that as you will.

Whoa! I was just going to post that. Me 3!

That initial blast of power shot through the top of the Hellmouth cavern, and through the roof of the school building. Spike was, essentially, and aided by mystical mojo shit, channelling sunlight.

Teppy you’re a friggin’ genius, or I’m an idiot, or both.

They start in one position and end in the other, though I haven't quite decided who starts on top and who ends there. Quiet, as you say, and they make it last as long as they can. And they fall asleep promising each other, "one more time, in the morning," but as it turns out they oversleep and there isn't time.

I like Susan's version.

So Spike said "I'm drowning in footwear"? I thought he said "I'm drowning in Cool Whip!"

Apparently our hivemind is very focused on Cool Whip. At least where Spike is involved.

Rewatched part of EoD and all of Chosen last night. During the Anya/Andrew hospital speech, she talks about how humans all know they're going to die, yet they are always surprised. So during Chosen, she is killed from behind and yes, very surprised.

If you're like me and have a sick fascination with this, Spike's FFL outfit is at $8100 with 3.5 days to go. It's the highest priced item right now.

Nah -- if you're like me, when you watched it you were just trying to take all the activity in. I didn't notice it until my second viewing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This has probaly been mentioned, but am I wrong in noticing that everyone on the Buffy Big Bus was human? That NO demon-y type things made it out of Sunnydale?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That NO demon-y type things made it out of Sunnydale?

Well, they only had the one.

I'm still making my way through the Spoiler thread, and Plei practically *wrote* the Cookie Dough Speech (date of post, March 9):

it's not having Buffy deal with her issues to crawl into the lap of a man. It's not. It really isn't. She needs to learn to love and trust herself, not to love and trust the All Healing Cock of Forgiveness. Fuck that shit. She has *never* learned that it's okay to be single, that you aren't a failure just because things don't always work out. She's still a child of divorce with a fear of abandonment and failure, and I don't see that a romantic entaglement is really a good idea.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well, the Slayers, arguably.

Well, I know a bunch left but they had 2 at the end. Anya, even though was "human" was a demon for the better part of 2 thousand years.

Herding cats for fun

About spoilers: I've enjoyed the Buffista way that protects those that wish to be unspoiled. It's very civilized.

I'm still pissed at the stupid bitch woman who leaned over during the damn film and said, "Hey! Did you know that Darth Vader is Luke's father?" Man, that sucked. All that careful spoiler avoidance, and I thought I had made it to the movie clean. Hope she has suffered a lifetime of inconvenience since then.

Oh, and (Heart) Pete, Husband of Reason, for the Oz scene.

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

All Healing Cock of Forgiveness

Y'ever totally forget that you said something?

In that they had special powers, yes. But, they don't fall under the category of demon and are ultimately human. No "poke em in the eye to the left of the 3rd arm with a knife made of goldenrod" parameters under which to kill them.
