AYW had its moments (Willow's "Bitch!" most definitely among them) but that horrible Mrs. Riley person was So. Bad. Worst acting ever. The GF and I still love to imitate her (mostly facial expressions when she "bonded" with Willow in the kitchen). And that's really fun so maybe it wasn't so bad after all :) See how I did that there?

I've been watching this show since S1. I can remember thinking in S2, wow, the show's doing OK, maybe it'll run as long as seven years! And trying to imagine the me who'd still be watching it. And here I am.

And S1 is about when she started nagging me to watch. And I said, "nah, looks stupid." And then we were out of touch for a while, and then we got back in touch, and started right in and nagged some more, and I said, "yeah, so maybe there's something there, but it's just not my thing". And nagged some more, and I said, "okay, it's really good, but I'm busy on Tuesday nights and I don't want to get too involved in it." And she kept on nagging me to watch this show, and I said, "It's the best damned thing on television, and I need to find a way to watch it." And then once I was thoroughly hooked she started in with the hints about this crazy group of people online....

Yeah, it's Misha's fault that I'm a Buffy fan, and that I'm a Buffista. I was late to the party, and now here we are at the end.

Stupid freakin' allergies.

If there's such a thing as cablema, could you send some my way? Yesterday evening a big, black box started intermittently covering up our TV picture. It wasn't constant and didn't affect every channel, but UPN was unviewable when I got home from work this afternoon. A cable refresh seems to have solved the problem, but this cable company's fixes have in the past had the distressing tendency of unfixing themselves on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

It's not like we really needed another reason to be sitting on the edge of our seats tonight, you know?

The VCR prayer doesn't quite cover cablema per se, but it's in the right spirit, I think.

Attention all religious people, established or not, pagan or Wiccan or Bible Belt or Jewish or Bead Jiggler (like me): Please pray to the VCR gods tonight for all of us who are Unavoidably Unable To Be Home. May the cable systems all remember. May the tapes be fresh and have plenty of space. May our power not brown out and reset the VCR clocks. May kids and SOs and stray kittens not wander by and reset the apparatii. May our UPN affiliates not fold, spindle, or mutilate the show with weird crawls, ads for other inane shows, sports, or teasers for the Ten o'clock News. May we all come home to Buffy, just Buffy and purest Buffy, from Previously to the previews. Amen.

I was late to the party re Buffy and Buffistas, although I've known some posters for some time, just talking about different stuff. I watched one or two at the very beginning, but it didn't take till s6. I want to thank the people at fx (even if theirwebsite is run by poorly socialized gerbils) because without them I might not have ever been Buffista.And I liked season 6 a lot, but not AYW.And I hear some network is going to run Angel from the beginning soon, and I'm glad about ittoo, because I find it confusing to jump in on, but ymmv.

Did this get posted yet? Such a cute photo!!! No spoilers :)

Buffy's little sister

Aww, I've only been here a few weeks, and I wish I'd found this place sooner. But I just wanted to jump on the Buffista-lovin'-bandwagon with a thanks for making these last episodes that bit more enjoyable for me.

I've loved reading all the theories, debates and crazy rants here. So I wish you all a very happy last episode of Buffy ever. Excuse me while I quietly sob into my tub of ice-cream here!

Hey - does anyone know, are any Buffy stars doing any appearances on talk shows tonight? I missed AH and DB, last night.

Someone keeps posting this link -- [link] -- at the Bronze Beta (CAUTION -- THERE ARE SPOILERY PICTURES OF THE FINALE IF YOU GO HERE), and saying that SMG and Joss will be doing a live chat. I haven't checked it out, but I'm having a hard time seeing SMG doing a chat, but who knows.

Miss Vanna, AH and DB were on Craig Kilbourn last night (missed it myself).

Good thing about Angel reruns is that they're going to be on TNT, which has a higher number of viewers than FX does. I think that they're pairing it up with Charmed reruns, but I was thinking that it would have been cool if they hooked it up with L&O. I mean, big city crime fighters with lawyers, right? ;-)

Also late to the show. Actually, got here via Firefly. Started watching Buff mid-season, and DW convinced me to get the Season 1 DVD. Subsequently, became seriously hooked. Been obsessively watching all available DVDs and the FX reruns.

FX is showing Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest, evidently in honor of the series ending (sob). I'm all sad now.
