Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

You're kidding -- see the schedule is so screwy that I missed it.

Again.

Nobody

I didn't think they'd re-run it at all. Every week I bothered to check TVGuide online, they'd list Buffy, but then that stupid model show was on, instead. I stopped looking.

Sumi - have you asked in the "When Come Back - Bring Tape" thread. I know you wanted to catch this episode on your own, but I betcha there's a Buffista superhero out there, just ready, willing and able to dub and send you a copy.

Aw. I just got the Season 2 DVDs. I'd never seen "Inca Mummy Girl" before. Good times! And knowing that Willow is later "kinda gay" made the attempted mummification by girl-on-girl action kinda interesting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hmmm... reading back the conversation from yesterday, I find myself wondering if the "she shall not choose you" was originally intended to be in reference to the medallion that Spike wore. Dawn still qualifies as supernatural in origin, and she does have a soul. If the creators of the show changed the qualifications to use the medallion later on -- that the user had to be superhumanly strong -- it would have DQ'd Dawn....

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I find myself wondering if the "she shall not choose you" was originally intended to be in reference to the medallion that Spike wore.

I think you might be right. I remember hearing that there was supposed to have been a scene addressing this in "Chosen," but I can't remember if that was a fanwank, something from an interview, or a bit from a draft of the script.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

I thought I'd read that UPN lost the rights to the show after S7 ended (their 2-year contract was up), but apparently they got them back.

I always thought that a network could broadcast each episode at least 2 and maybe 3 times before their rights expired and syndication rights took over. I also think there is a time limit for broadcasting the reruns, but I don't know what they would be.

Now that I think about it, I do know that CBS has broadcast certain episodes of CSI multiple times, so it all probably boils down to specifics in the contract.

Up with the sun

Technically, Buffy chose to activate all the potentials. So "she won't choose you" to me meant "you won't be a slayer."

Which is kind of lame, yeah. But it's the best I can do.

sj -- are you sure you mean "Get it Done"? The last season 7 Buffy I've seen is "Showtime" - - you know Buffy in the Thunderdome.

"Get it Done" is the one with the First CoW.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just watched it last night, too, with my BF who is watching the entire series in order for the first time. He loved IMG, and liked Some Assembly, etc. I'm so excited for him to see eps like Passion and Becoming II-- so good! It gets so much better! Damn!

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

Don't you just want to date Shawn's BF?
