Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Thanks for all the fish.

What about the talisman? Who left that in the bathroom? And why did it target Dawn? And why did the zombies in the basement seem to have personal vendettas against Buffy? Was the talisman specifically left there so the zombies would go after her? Or was the vendetta thing just a coincidence? Or what?

Yes.

Okay, this. This is a question I've been asking myself all fricking year.

And if UPN was playing Lessons tonight - there might be fruitful discussion of it in a mere couple of hours. But NOOOO - they have to be all "there's only 14 weeks of summer and we can't show Buffy three nights a week because we have to show Girlfriends too."

Dropping it. Letting go. Just couldn't resist.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's Sunnydale, it's littered with talismen.

1. Rona, shut up or leave
2. Now digging the eye. Buffy turned "the slayer line must end" on it's head. Suckaaaaaahs!

Saying they show Buffy until Premiere week for this fall shows in Septamber *without preemption* they only have room to show 13 or 14 eps.

Which ones to show? There isn't time to start from the beginning and to end with the finale.

True. It probably wouldn't be quite so annoying if they hadn't spent the last few weeks claiming in the TV Guide that they were rerunning the first episodes, and then running those damned model show things.

(beams ray of hate at UPN schedulers)

In other news, the "Body/Forever" twofer on FX was kinda brutal. I am sad now.

Those damn animated promos for "Lucky" in the corner of the screen got really fucking irritating, though.

Okay, just cracked open my S4 DVDs, and I find myself wondering why Riley couldn't have spent more of S4 getting beaned in the head with textbooks.

Thanks for all the fish.

Or being a lesbian. Riley was a good lesbian.

Psychology geek. Riley was a GREAT psychology geek. Resurfaced briefly in The Replacement for a sad, brief moment of nostalgia.

I've been working out a better season 4 in my head (it includes my idea the Buffy hooked up with Forrest instead), although it contradicts the ideas in my head that improve season 5 (which needed it more desperately), but maybe I'll work it out in another medium and post it.

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

Riley was a good lesbian.

Who didn't die! So, really, there was no need for Kennedy to survive after all...

Ah, Xander's little pep talk...

For all its flaws, I'm very glad to have my hands on S4 right now. There were plenty of good eps to keep the season afloat.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I remember watching "The Freshman" and then complaining about how joyless and disconnected Buffy seemed. Boy, if anyone had told me that version would be like Maria Von Trapp dancing through the meadows in comparison to what would come later...
