Up with the sun

I did not hate As You Were, but that's largely because of the "My hat has a cow on it" line. Also, if you watch S4 all at once and come in at the middle of S5 and watch everything out of order, the Riley arc doesn't suck as much.

It's a remora, dimwit.

"Pangs" was the one that first had me laughing out loud, and I've used it to try to convert people. It's well received, but I haven't managed to get anyone really into Buffy yet. So no toaster for me, still toasting my bread directly over the flaming pits of hell, thank you very much.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

There have really only been two episodes ever, in all this time, that ever left me completely cold. One of them was whatever the thing with the Snot Monster Cockroach from Outer Space, and even that had some of Ms. Sutherland's best work as Joyce, talking to the giant alien bug on the ceiling.

The other one was this season, I think - everyone swooning over the high school kid. I think he had an enchanted jacket or something, but the episode actually bored me to the point where I went online instead.

That's 1.5 episodes out of how many? Best ratio in the universe, I'd say.

Damn. Getting weepy. But we will at least have an incredible menu for the Mother of All Buffdinners tomorrow night.

Thrive to spite them

"Him" is the episode with the enchanted jacket. I don't like most of the episode, but I do it once Anya and Willow are enchanted and it's a race between them and Buffy to get RJ and then Xander and Spike to stop them.

The party isn't over. The party is moving to Angel's house. (And telling myself that is how I'm going to get through the last episode.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

"Him" gets better from the moment Dawn runs outside crying and Xander's foot comes into frame.

Yeah, the second half is entertaining, when it stops being all about Dawn and her pathetic crush.

This is so sad; the local Buffy group isn’t doing anything for the finale. Even the “Fear Factor” group had a barbecue tonight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I found the first half of "Him" painful and the second half a total hoot. C'mon, running past the window with the rocket launcher? Comic genius.

Who did they barbecue?

What are you looking at me like that for? It is Fear Factor.

Ah. The farthest I got in that one was her pushing the kid down the stairs. I wandered away and never saw the second half.

Problem is, I had a low tolerance for 13-year-old angst even when I was thirteen, so I bailed. It improves, you say? I'll give it another shot.
