Willow ,'Chosen'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
"As can the entire series. How else to explain that BTVS was a favorite of The Nation AND The National Review; The American Prospect AND The Weekly Standard."
Everybody walks away happy, I suppose. I've been tinkering with the idea of Buffy as television's only libertarian heroine, but it requires an involved explanation and I just don't have the time to put pen to paper on that. But I'm thinking about it.
Heh. Awhile back, I interviewed David Nolan, who founded the Libertarian Party. He's a very conservative politics and economic wonk. And a rabid Buffy fan.
I also have it on good authority that there's a whole mess of Buffy fans in the State Department. In fact, many of them (including a friend of mine and Thessaly's) went en masse to see James Marsters play outside D.C.
Maybe Joss should run for president...

The theory of maximum pain? Works well cinematically. In real life? Not so good...
Ah, Hell. Who am I kidding. I'd vote for him.
I'd move to Chicago and vote for him twice.
Buffy re-enters the basement and they face each other across the room. We flash to the next shot, and it's morning, and we're looking at the school bus. The evil genius found a way to have his cake and eat it, too.
You know when I first watched this scene it seemed clear to me that that was Buffy coming down to get Spike right before they left for the school. I'll have to watch it again, but weren't the lighting and Buffy's clothes implying that it was the morning of the big day? It seemed like the "meaningful glance before we go into battle" shot.
Huh. It seemed like night to me.
But now I'm wondering, how did Spike get to the school? Was he on the bus, covered in blankets (or tucked in someone's backpack - he's quite compact, you know.) Or did he do the sewer tunnel thing and just popped up in the hallway? I can't really remember.
Huh. It seemed like night to me.
No, you were right. I just re-watched that scene. It was indeed night. Well, I just don't like that!
Just catching up, and I DID read every post...and I got nothing.
Except, I think that I was probably the only person watching "Chosen" saying "Man, I wish Molly was still around for this."
I'd move to Chicago and vote for him twice.
On behalf of my city -- HEY!!! Contrary to popular rumors, we do not vote twice here. We have the dead vote. It's a whole other thing.
