Buffy, season 7 and Angel, season 5 are both there. 39.98 for each, I believe. Mine are not on my doorstep yet.

Angel S5?? For reals?

My Buffy was $38.38, thanks to the A9 discount.

deepdiscountdvd.com has a 20% off sale going on until Nov. 20. Good on all DVDs except pre-orders. Use coupon code "NYTIMES" or "USATODAY". With free shipping, Buffy S7 is reduced to $32.91!

Now my Buffy dvds are "shipping soon".

I just rented a couple of the discs from Netflix. Returned disc 1 today. That'll do it for me.

Ok, you know what, I'm watching Bring on the Night and I still feel completely validated in thinking that Giles was the First (and thus, real Giles dead) when this ran. (I wasn't a Buffista when this was on, so I'm sure that the topic has been done to death, but really.)

Buffy: We need to find the First! Opens door.

Giles: Hello, Buffy! Walks into the house wearing a light-up "I'm the First" t-shirt.

Ok, maybe not exactly. But, still.

(I wasn't a Buffista when this was on, so I'm sure that the topic has been done to death, but really.)

Actually, Victor (with Thessally's help I think) came up with the theory that, yes Giles was dead, but that Ethan Rayne had assumed Giles form either to help the First, or to keep the First from winning because, while Ethan may worship chaos, what the First was planning was a whole other thing (sort of like Spike wanting to save the world in Becoming).

It certainly fit with some of the clumsier things Giles was doing around then (pretending he could understand Chinese, the tacky line about the Scoobies worrying about him that he wasn't touching teenage girls).

I've still got my tinfoil hat on for this one - they never said it WASN'T Ethan.

wonders if this will be an x-post

Hmmm. Keeps watching S7 DVDs.

Most of these eps I've only seen once, aside from Conversations with Dead People, Storyteller, and Chosen. (The first two I've watched since on FX, and I watched Chosen probably 3 times in the week it aired- once in the last meeting of my beloved Buffy club, once when my bro got home from college to see it, and once when we had to watch it so we could tape it off the TiFaux to give it to a family friend who had missed it.) And a lot of S7 blends together in my memory blah blah speech blah blah Potentials blah blah mmm Spike...... and I think there is even an ep I didn't see. (Valentine's Day?), but I don't remember being satisfied as to the explanation of Giles not getting killed when an axe was about 2 centimeters away from his neck.

(Notes that soon there will likely be a flashback showing how Giles got away, which will turn on a lightbulb. I just don't remember buying it.)

According to Giles, (spoiler fonted in case you didn't want to know) squeaky shoes. Yeah. Right.

Suddenly I'm totally memfaulting on whether there was an actual flashback or not.

That's where I am- I need to see it. Giles saying "Oh, I got away," wasn't enough for me because we saw all but the spurting blood. Getting away from Axe Dude seemed to require a level of acrobatics I don't see Giles having.

Fruity Pebbles to ask:

Also, was Anya's hair color directly related to her demon status, or did she just get a dye job according to how evil/good she was feeling that day?
