I can't remember a mention of Buffy's birthday in season 5.
Was it in "Blood Ties"? I feel like S7 was the only time they skipped it entirely.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.
Giles ,'Beneath You'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.

Lyra, I checked a synopsis, and you're right. I can't remember that part at all, but the synopsis began with something like "As Buffy and friends celebrate her birthday."
That episode aired 02/06/01.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I thought it was established somewhere that Buffy's birthday was in January?
Other time-points: Willow and Giles are said to go away for the summer after Willow's breakdown; S7 opens in September with Dawn's first day of school. "Conversations with Dead People" is in November and after that all the timing went to hell in some way I can no longer recall.
I think S6 was supposed to cover more-or-less the schoolyear, as is typical for BtVS seasons, but the jury's out on BtVS S7 and AtS S5.

In some episode-- I Robot, You Jane, maybe, Buffy's school records show on the screen, but the birthdate is different in two different shots. I *think* it's the year that is changed, but I'd have to find it.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I remember this and I think the date changed completely. There are a bunch of screen shots for buffy at: [link]

Did we know that Michelle Trachtenburg is starring in a movie about ice skating? I saw the trailer in the Disney store today and it looks ... well, Joan Cusack is in it, and Michelle has shiny shiny hair, so it's probably not *that* bad. But it's funny that MT is wholesoming it up again, after the character she played on Six Feet Under.
(From the buffy.nu article, it looks like this may be old news, but it was the first I heard of it.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw the trailer. She skates with mathematics. Just like River would.

Art Crawl!!!
It looks like a very fun movie. I want to see it.

Hey. New board.
The trailer looks very dumb. And requires that I see the movie at first opportunity. Because MT (who I have an unholy love for, especially and including Dawn, and anybody who doesn't agree can just GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!), plus incredibly silly-looking cheesy feel-good Disney teen movie makes it my kind of entertainment.

We've been watching the past seasons of 24 like it was the crack it is. Wednesday night, we put on the first disc from season 1, even though we've watched it before, just because we must! have! more! Anyhow, it wasn't playing right. It mostly froze up, and then played, although occasionally, it skipped, too. The DVD didn't look too scratched up, or anything--actually looked fairly pristine, but we tried the second disc, and had the same problem.
Last night, we broke out the BtVS S7 DVDs, because they were still shrink wrapped, and we wanted to determine if we were having a problem with the 24 discs, or the DVD player. It must be the 24 DVDs.
But oh! I miss my girl. Season 7 wore me down a bit, and is not one of my favorite seasons (although I was thrilled by the ending itself), so I'd forgotten how much I loved the beginning of it. Lessons was wonderful. I remember being wary of Kit and Carlos, because I really didn't want a Scrappy Gang season, but...well, we got a Scrappy Gang season with the SiTs, anyhow. That said, there really were some great moments in Lessons. The teaser with the unnamed Potential running (but not talking!!!)through Istanbul! Buffy's, "It's about power," ending the first scene (proper), being bookended with the parade of First Evil Manifestations, and the Master's "It's about power," was just great. Insane in the basement Spike! Giles', "Do you want to be punished?" (yes please). Willow all drained and guilty. Giles's handwaving away the magick!crack aspect of Willow's storyline. Anya and Halfrek in the coffee shop! There's always a talisman! Spiffy in-a-suit Xander! It was nice to remember I had some love left for the show itself, and not just the characters. I remembered that I also liked Beneath You, even the Spike-sizzling-on-cross scene (although I haven't yet re-watched it while awake).
I hope that the entire season does as well for me in review as Lessons, even though I mostly know it won't.
