Without even looking up the transmission date, that would be Spiral. And not a demon. Knight of Byzantium.

Spiral was near end of S5, that would be May. 11/05/02 would be <quick check> "Him". Don't remember it. After reading the summary -- "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered, Pt. 2" via a magic letter jacket -- I know I watched it, but like much of S7 it didn't stick with me. OTOH, the ep before was Anya spotlight "Selfless", which I loved. "Spiral" <shudder> guys in chain mail on horseback chasing a tinfoil covered Winnebago through the desert. Ay yi yi!

Odd. Without looking back, I don't remember any demons at all in "Him." Except maybe the one Xander recalled from talking with the older brother.

OTOH, how would PTC have reacted to the idea of Buffy attempting to use a flame thrower on the principal, an authority figure? (And for that matter, wasn't Spike's flying tackle violent, too?)

Wasn't it a rocket launcher or something like that?

As a parent there are definitely shows out there that I don't want my kids watching at a young age. Buffy is one of them. But I do want my kids to watch it when I feel they're mature enough. And the show would never exist in the PTCverse.

Right. My bad.

And Wolfram, I think we're in the same neighborhood. I have no objection to parents setting limits for their kids. Where I object is being told that I have to live by other people's standards in my own home (though, of course, it's just common courtesy to take a guest's opinions into consideration).

You guys are insane. The Bible will never get an Emmy.

LOL!!! You people kill me! Quite probably the only group whose members have wackier senses of humour than me...I know a lot of fans think that the Bible jumped when they killed Abel off after only a few episodes, but in interviews w/ God and w/ Glenn Quinn who played Abel they both say that it was planned from the beginning.

Man, that Camden Toy seems to get all the best villains to play.

btw, what's the link for the PTC's reports on violence in shows? What's amusing is how I've seen pretty much all of those episodes they mentioned-X-Files, Millennium, Buffy of course.

Whoa, Limp Bizkit do a cover of "Behind Blue Eyes"...I liked ASH's interpretation better. (that might be old news, it's the first time I've watched music videos in a long time).

t unamerican And is May not the fifth month? t /unamerican

yeah my bad. I read the date as early May. It seemd so right, I didn't notice the year was wrong for S5.

My favorite UC ship would have to be Moses and Cain.

Wonder when they will finally give Moses that fucking spinoff that we have been promised.

Guys, guys, guys, you're not giving the Big Guy enough credit. Sure, He followed up that great one-two punch of Genesis and Exodus (Creation! Floods! Lot offering his daughters to the mobs! Egypt! Battles!) with the really poorly conceived Leviticus-Numbers-Deuteronomy arc--really, too much backstory, nobody cares about the begats, sweetie, and the laws!--but He finished that season up really strong with the Kingdom of Israel and all the Kings.

Esther was such a great season opener, too. And, really, don't we all have copies of that great Job musical, especially when the Boss Himself did that amazing song about Leviathan and the rest?

Granted, when the Israelites got carted off to Babylon, all the prophets got hard to follow, but, really, I'm an early season fan myself.
