They are! In fact, because it goes more quickly it doesn't seem like this eternity of a house clogged with potentials and Buffy lecturing them.
The airing schedule did the season a dis-service, I think.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

I tried "Storyteller," and the stuff I remembered as funny was still funny
I absolutely loathed that episode. Then it had lots of fans and I realized it was written by Jane Espenson, so I feel like maybe I could give it another chance.

Who? moi??
Nilly, thanks for the link. It reminded me of this-----

Some of my plans with Nilly involved watching Objects in space too.
Aw, you can have Objects in Space. I most want to see Nilly's face when she meets Tim. And vice versa. Must pick up several disposable cameras. -------------------------
Allyson, did you do it? Were there pictures? May we see them?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, there weren't pictures.

Were there pictures?
marty, I had my camera with me, but couldn't manage to, you know, actually use it and take pictures. My excuse is around 40 hours straight of no real sleep. But it's still not a good enough one. Lame, I am.
My friend T still hasn't forgiven me for not taking pictures at that dinner. She probably never will.

Well, not even Joss had a 1.000 batting average with me, so it's unfair to hold Jane to a higher standard. Hated it.
I think Joss and Jane are both occasionally prone to the same flaw in their writing, which is to assume that everyone else is as crazy about a given character as they are, and go over the top in writing as if that's the natural order of things. Which works great for those who actually share their love of the character, but is very off-putting to those who don't. "Everybody Loves FredA Hole in the World" is another example of this.

So, how did you guys feel about Puppet-Angel?

Yeah, Joss wasn't 100% with me either (though he had a higher batting average on Buffy than on Angel (I wasn't as fond of "Spin the Bottle" as others were)), but when I did the Favorite Buffy Episodes By the Numbers meme (favorite first episode, second episode, etc.), Joss and Jane episodes made up the bulk of the list. I also didn't realize Drew Goddard had written so many S7 Buffy episodes.
I think Joss and Jane are both occasionally prone to the same flaw in their writing, which is to assume that everyone else is as crazy about a given character as they are, and write as if that's the natural order of things.
And it's clear from the commentaries that everyone loved Tom Lenk the actor in addition to enjoying writing for Andrew the character.
So, how did you guys feel about Puppet-Angel?
Oh, I did love "Smile Time." I wasn't in love with all the lines everyone else was, but it was damn funny and very well executed.
