'Objects In Space'


Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness  

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's "In my plan, we are beltless." Hee.

I so wanted to tag this, too. Very funny episode with a nice twist at the end.

I'm going for connected!

It's all connected.

The students being turned into Bringers really threw me.

Makes sense, though. The new ones have to come from somewhere.

And Kennedy's part of the inner circle again... Fuck. But did you see the quality sash work? That's talent, my man.

That was certainly a quick rebound. And the woodwork was fantastic.

I was more pissed off with the whole "A student just EXPLODED and all you could do is shrug?" thing.

Yeah, that didn't make any sense. I loved Buffy talking down the girl from going blinvisible, though. Maybe what they should have gone with instead of the explosion was having the door open and close by itself.

Elena, in the Bitches thread you said:

Now I'm trying to remember if NS has a censor board

We don't have a "censor" board but we do have an agency that does Film Classification, aka ratings. They are under the alcohol and gaming authority so I picture the film classification people watching porn, drinking a lot of booze and cleaning their shotguns. I may be misguided.

Though it should be porn, drinkng and gambling. No Guns.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't want to roll my eyes at Buffy! Sigh.

Laura - Did you like "The Zeppo"? Felt like the same level of Buffy mockage.

They have a destroyed school to explain. They have footage of the principal beating up students.

Ehh - No one will remember anything and they'll blame it on a gang that was using PCP. No different than in years past.

Gameing = gambling. I knew that.

Now I'm thinking about the heritage moment. "He never drew no gun! Why didn't I shoot him!?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It would be great if the tape fell into the wrong hands. I just don't remember it even being so blasé before. Whatever must the receptionist have been thinking?

And I loved the Cordy eyes.

Yeah, I enjoyed the ep. I think they worked the "I'm taping this" angle very well.

Disappointed about Willow and Kennedy, glad about Xander/Anya (if it's over), thought that Spike/Hottie could have been directed better, but Lenk was great.

That's what bugged me about the exploding student. It's one thing to be blase about weird stuff happening, but the frelling kid exploded! That said, that was the only thing I disliked. Totally got the Zeppo vibe.

It's interesting that Robin tried to off Spike when there was an opportunity to be able to cover it up from Buffy.

I was wondering about that. I'm thinking he was under the influence of the Giant Manhole Cover, 'cause I don't think he'd otherwise try to off Spike. Not yet, anyway.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

That's what bugged me about the exploding student. It's one thing to be blase about weird stuff happening, but the frelling kid exploded! That said, that was the only thing I disliked. Totally got the Zeppo vibe.

At first, I was thinking it was way too meta, but then the episode suddenly clicked and "The Zeppo" feeling hit for me.

I was wondering about that. I'm thinking he was under the influence of the Giant Manhole Cover, 'cause I don't think he'd otherwise try to off Spike. Not yet, anyway.

I like the ambiguity of this. Also, Hellmouth vibes is a good way of explaining the indifference that Buffy and Robin showed at the exploding boy. Plus, since there was a cut right after that (or was it a break?), how they reacted after is up to conjecture. I thought there was a line that they closed the school.

Still, I think Jane went for a quick joke there without worrying too much about what it implied.
