Thank you, Nilly. My memory is so shot. I will remember to give due credit to Pete/Frank/Hec in future for the perfect coda.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Art Crawl!!!
The quote below is from a review of the Season 7 dvds, does he mean a scene in the "previouslies"? Or an actual scene from the show as aired?
As a final note, for some unexplained reason, Fox has decided to not include the "previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer" intros to each episode. Normally this would not be a major bone of contention, except that by omitting them a potentially key scene involving Faith is also removed. Shame on you, Fox.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm assuming a scene in previouslies, but I'm not sure. Did we get any scenes of Faith on Angel in the Buffy7 previouslies? That would be my guess as to what would be missing.

Trust my rage
I'm *so glad* they don't put the previouslies on there. It's the one thing I *hate* about the Alias DVDs. Who needs a previously when you've got the DVDs? OTOH, I can see how the Faith scene might have clarified some. IIRC, The Sopranos and a few others have the previouslies and next times as separate options so you can watch if you want.

Always Anti-fascist!
The Wire, too. Which saved my suburban whitey ass trying to watch it.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
A question about something in that literate Buffy thread Jim linked to -- one poster said,
in a S7 episode, one minor character begins to quote Invictus when the building he's in explodes - obv. reference to Oklahoma City, but only to the clued-in).
What's Invictus, who's the character, and what's the quote?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Invictus is the poem with "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." I assume he's talking about what's-his-face the Watcher who gets killed when Watcher HQ explodes; I don't remember what exactly he was saying (though if I had to guess I'd say it was the above, since I believe that's the best-known line from that poem).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd guess the character was Travers, before the Watcher's Council blew?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Invictus is a poem. But I don't know who quoted it, and which line.

What is even happening?
I thought it was a crime that the 99 episode previouslies that appeared at the beginning of The Gift weren't on the Season 5 DVD. I know they use little bits of it here and there on the DVD, but that was wonderful, and I'm still terribly disappointed.
I would like the previouslies, because Giles voices them over, and because I don't always watch episodes in order. I'll pick an episode based on my mood. Seems like they could at least include them and rather than a person *having* to see one, s/he could choose it from the menu. Feh.
