I thought he was pretty mad when he left the community. Was that a mistaken impression?

It's a weird error, and if anyone here is in contact with him, maybe you could tell him that people are having difficulty getting to his resource.

I don't think he was especially mad at the community, although there probably were some hard feelings about Anathema. I think he was mostly angry with the admins.

He told me I could link to it in Press when I asked. Good thing I didn't do it right away since I would've run into this weird referer issue. (I've been following his glob all this time since it's the next best thing, or maybe even more convenient than searching for him in Natter.)

Did we ever get a sense of how much time was passing during Season 6? I know that a lot of the time, it seems like a season takes less than 9 months for the characters, but I can't recall if there was something specific in that season that was that way.

All I recall is that Season 6 felt like an eternity to me.

I'm trying to think...I can't remember any specific mentions of time having gone by (i.e. "it's been four months since...). The first few episodes (Bargaining 1 and 2 and After Life) took less than three weeks, just lasting for a few days, as did the last few episodes (Entropy-Grave was a few days at the most by my reckoning...heh...reckoning...it's a fun word). I think the season took 9 months at the most.

I watched "Consequences" last night; great episode, and really the final word on the Willow/Xander relationship (love the brief scene of her crying in the bathroom). Apparently, Faith was originally meant to kill Wesley as she escaped from him and the CoW thugs; imagine how different things would have been if that had happened. There are also some "really interesting in retrospect" moments with Angel and Wes.

Yeah. It was a very long season to watch. Ok. Thanks.

Older and Far Away was s6's Buffy Birthday episode. It was originally broadcast on 2/12/02. I can't remember a mention of Buffy's birthday in season 5. The Buffy birthday episodes were originally broadcast as follows:

S6 02/12/02 Older and Far Away
S5 02/06/01 Blood Ties
S4 01/25/00 A New Man
S3 01/19/99 Helpless
S2 01/19/98 Surprise (with Innocence on 01/20/98)

But I think, during season 6, at least a few episodes picked up right where the episode prior left off.

edited to include the s5 birthday episode

Was it in "Blood Ties"? I feel like S7 was the only time they skipped it entirely.
