Buffistas

Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Loved Mom and was thrilled with the clarity that Spike has with regard to the demon vs his mother. Mmmm looking forward to watching again tonight.

See, I think Soul!Spike was wrong. I think Vamp!Mummy was being honest.

Also, I thought the "I just want you to know that" worked better on Angel, with the pillow.

I was very confused by Spike's suddent assertion that Human!Mom and Vamp!Mom were two completely separate entities. Despite it being canon, I've always had trouble swallowing it; the vampires in the Buffyverse tend to carry with them the psychological traits of the human.

Oh, and Buffy admitting offhandedly that she would let Dawn die now also bugged the hell out of me. Hello??? "The gift"? Not even two years ago?

Wrod. But it did set up a major HSQ. I was almost disappointed to see the principal left alive.

I didn't have a problem with that. She's supposed to have grown since then, and she's become big picture slayer.

...Despite it being canon, I've always had trouble swallowing it; the vampires in the Buffyverse tend to carry with them the psychological traits of the human.

IMO the demons simply work to relax any restrictions or inhibitions that the human might have had. This way the traits stay, but the demon acts to prevent the voice of reason/sanity to work its way into the picture.

I don't believe that the demons are present in a controlling fashion, broadcasting "do evil" vibes to the host. Otherwise vampires would be consistantly evil, would they not?

Thanks for all the fish.

Copy that over to the main Buffy thread, if you please. It's an interesting point that should be argued over.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Hmm. Nora and I disagreed over whether Vamp!Mummy was being honest or not. Nora thought that she had only experienced little flashes of those feelings as a human, while I assumed that she was telling the truth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hee! Can I join your country? [link]

Thanks for posting that amych. A shorter text version of that has been floating around for a few weeks now, attributed to Colin Mochire's colleague Rick Mercer. It's nice to see the actual video of it.

I'm so, so sorry he was making fun of your country. t /passive agressive

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Lots of nosema vibes heading northward, Megan. Best of luck!
