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.

Whine. I am going to MISS my show, DAMNIT. At this moment it is not helpful to think: Better to go out on a strong note than to last too long, etc. I think the world is going to be a weird place when Tuesday is not Buffy night.

Awww...gloomcookie, that made me very sympathetic to Dawn...I always loved MT, but I thought Dawn was often shafted on her possibilities. Awww...
