Of course, my conversation partners are likely to be my 112 cats.
Not as long as the Buffistas are around....
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'
Xander ,'End of Days'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.

Well, there's always the possibility that John will be a lone deported survivor of the great Ashcroft Porn-Instigators Pogrom should such coincide with one of our f2f gatherings.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Why does the episode start out with the title and time/date? I've never understood this.
Because they wanted everyone to know it was my birthday.

Oh, sure. You guys talk about CWDP and I get ear-wormed with "Blue."

What is even happening?
Someone on another board is saying Xander's family was Episcopalian. Is that canon or fanon? Was it mentioned in Hell's Bells or one of the episodes leading up to HB? I don't ever remember knowing this thing about Xander.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I can see it being mentioned in early Xander/Willow conversations about their childhood in some sort of Xmas/Snoopy dance context, but I can't recall anything specific regarding his religion, Cindy. If it's there I'd need to re-watch to know.

It's said by Cousin Carol (Whose cousin is she - does Xander call her cousin? She seems more like an aunt) at the wedding:
UNCLE RORY: Yeah, well, the thing is, if you expect Xander to bring up his kids in some kinda foreign-speaky bow-to-the-easty kinda cult-
TENTACLE DEMON: So you think the children should be raised in ignorance of our ways? (Xander's Mom looking nervous)
COUSIN CAROL: No! No, the Harrises are very broad-minded. We're Episcopalians.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Don't ever recall a specific mention of Xander's religion.
eta: But I'm wrong!
Idle thought: What's Buffy's greatest badass moment for you?
Some of them came in otherwise not-great episodes. Like wiping out the vamp nest that was sucking on Riley, finishing with the javelin toss dusting. Or in "Anne" with the "I'm Buffy."
It's easy enough to write a scene where Buffy's the winner, but harder to have it bear all the narrative weight and character development that has Buffy stopping Angelus sword with her palms and declare she's enough (probably her greatest moment).
Hmmm, the power walk in "Prophecy Girl" was good. Also Buffy winning by smarts against Kralik. Your choices?

Yikes! There's a lot. But what stands out to me isn't so much physical- it's "I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions."
The authority she takes on with the Watchers in that scene is great.

The "You have fruit punch mouth" moment in "Prophecy Girl" was pretty good too, as was Buffy locking and loading her bazooka in "Innocence."
I think I got the most sense of a buildup to a badass moment during "Walk through the Fire" in OMWF, where the song crescendos along with Buffy kicking the Bronze door off its hinges and confronting Sweet.
