I started watching in S5, so I can't be objective about it. Am rewatching in order; I got up to FFL last night, so I have 15 eps to go.
Seeing Out of my Mind made me get the Riley hatred. That episode is very, very bad. I also now understand why so many people wanted Dawn to die at first -- they were making her annoying on purpose, but still, ANNOYING.
Also, did anyone else notice that during Family, Allyson Hannigan seemed to have a zit or something on her right cheek? She's still gorgeous, but I wonder how big it must have been to show through the makeup.
And Amber Benson = gorgeous.
Oh see, I liked
Out of My Mind
this time out. I've only gotten that far, I think. I've found S5 pleasantly surprising. I know the arc falls aparet, but I've enjoyed the episodes, themselves. I put off watching it for a while, too.
Scott--so far--won't watch the
Firefly
DVDs (that he bought, for heaven's sake).
Do the DVDs frighten him? Does he think that Tim Minear retroactively killed him off in some episode?
I'd be worried about that, myself.
I had a promise from Tim--dammit--in writing. Narrator, get on that, will you, please?
(Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and where the holy heck have you been?)
No, he just doesn't care anymore. He bought them for me, for Christmas. He liked FF, but was never as into it as I was. Then Out of Gas really grabbed him, and once he saw Serenity, he thought it was a damned shame the show didn't make it, but he's not a fanboy where FF is concerned.
1. Wait and see about "Wonderfalls" (or whatever that is called). Perhaps someone named "Scott" will die in a grusome manner and you can attribute it to Tim Minear.
2. I've been around. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too.
3. See, if Tim had killed a "Scott" off, then your hubby would have been hooked.
Wow, you were right three times in a row. I need to sit down.
I loved early Dawn. She and Buffy cracked me up with their sibling interaction.
Okay, I just watched FFL and I was wrong (I can admit it). It's a good ep. Certainly not the worst ep of S5. I mean, Buffy vs. Dracula was S5 after all.
While I don't think the latter was a work of Jossian excellence on par with the prime Season 1-3 episodes, it was cheesy good fun. Season 5 is the one that gave us "Into the Woods" and "Spiral," after all.
