When does he not, except when he's shouting "Who are you baking for??!??!?"

Sometimes he just talks. Hmmm. Maybe I'll ragewank about that, for a while.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I also have the XF in my queue. How far in the series is it worth to watch before it jumps the shark?

Well, I own S1-7, but there are vocal fan contingents for ending it with S3 (which I think is dumb, because you miss "Paper Hearts" and the cancer arc, some of the series' finest moments); "Redux II," which is the second episode of S5, and brings certain elements of the mytharc and the Mulder/Scully relationship to reasonable closure; or at S5 and/or the movie. The last contingent is the largest, I think, and I find their arguments more reasonable. The movie takes place after S5, it sort of wraps up the mytharc in the patented XF "we don't need no stinkin' closure" way, and after that the cinematic style of the series changes significantly because they shifted filming from Vancouver to LA.

There are actually fans of S8-9, although I'm not sure any of them are on this board.

I keep forgetting S9 exists. I watched the opener, felt a great tremor in the force on how unfamiliar the show was, then watched the last couple of eps. The epic end of Cancer Man. Have to drop a mountain on the man to finish him off. I shrieked in ecstasy when I saw him.

I'm probably one of the few admitted sickos who loved "En ami".

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.

I wonder what would have happened, had they followed through with the Willow/Anya vibe they teased us with, rather than giving us Kennedy.

Ya mean aside from poor Xander having a massive anyurism?

"But--but--you're my ex-fiancee! And my best friend! God, is it me? Do I make girls gay? Why--hey, can I watch?"

Sexual jealousy would have made for a way better B-Plot to the First Evil's A-Plot, than speechifying did. There's a natural thematic tie-in. All the mixed emotions between Buffy, Spike, Faith, Wood, and Xander would have been the icing on the cake.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I'm not a big Tara fan, so my dislike of Kennedy had nothing to do with her. It did, however, have everything to do with her personality.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not to mention his plan to go gay after dating the Ashanti!Demon.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if not for those meddling kids!

Ann, that's a ferret.

And it all comes back around to the Potentials, ruining S7.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Y'all should get Freaks and Geeks. It's great stuff. And Sarah Hagen is fantastic as Millie - totally unlike Amanda, though.
