Just got done minding a 10-yr old boy whom I instructed to watch less television and eat better. Now to start a near-weekend long Buffy marathon with a Portuguese sausage meal and a couple of Sam Adams' summer ale. The most fun thing about being an adult bachelor is the unbridled hypocrisy I...

The joke at the end of the Halloween episode that Giles should have read the description under the picture of the goblin- "actual size"- was cute. But this show has a habit of taking one-off moments and making them relevant later (who would have thought Anya would become a regular character...

Halloween episode good. Beer bad.

I had no problem with the villain or the plot of the first episode- it's more the rhythm of it, and the look of things. This show works because the total is greater than the some of its (often quite stupid) parts, and when it's not "clicking," it can feel really off. By the middle of the 2nd...

"gentleman of leisure" Keep watching Buffy until my Angel download completes, which at this rate should be next week.

Oh, best line of the series thus far: Sunnydale, a place that has witnessed some truly spectacular kickings of my ass.

Anyone know what the hell happened between seasons 3 and 4, and then again after the 2nd episode? Because I watched the 1st episodes of 4 last night and the first two were terrible. Dialogue was painfully lame, fight scenes were bland and boring, plots were completely silly- not in a fun silly...

Just found the profound time-waster that is buffyguide.com. It confirms that the mayor-demon did indeed Larry the once-closeted bully jock and alterna-universe White Hat. :( This show has magic shops. Has anyone here ever seen one? I mean obviously such a thing wouldn't have real magic but...

Thanks VL. Alternating eps between series was my assumption, but I do remember you or someone saying that that changed at some point for some reason.... I'm sure we'll cross that bridge blah blah. Poor Xander- wants to be Jack Kerouac but of course will fail (otherwise how can he continue to...

Love the CGI of the mayor demon. Reminds me of classic B5. Xander's soldiering talents consisted of yelling "fire" and "fall back." Good work there, buddy. The big reveal of everybody coming to graduation armed was pretty sweet, and a nice pay-off of the umbrella award at the prom. Yeah the...

Well this season certainly went out with a bang.

I'm not much of a baked goods eater, but a lightly toasted blueberry scone with a bit of butter is some seriously scrumptious shit right there. Ooh, Buffy's back on...

Is the blueberry scone bit? That was cute. I think the funniest moment was the Family Guy cut scene to why the guy tried to ruin the prom.

TWSS Break between episodes.... First I watched the thing about the box full of crabbies. Another wonderfully put-together fight scene in the mayor's office. Another Jackie Chan like sequence, I'm impressed. This aspect of the show, like Gellar's acting, is something I didn't hear about...

Oh yeah then I'll definitely knock 'em out tonight. Btw I rag on Oz/Seth Green, and he and Cordelia are my least favorite characters, but I do love his self-deprecating cracks about his own band. Last night he pointed out that some bands actually no more than 3 chords, and when told they...

Yeah that was good, and actually reminds of something I was thinking but didn't want to bring up for fear of side-tracking the conversation and bringing an old argument from the B5 threads but what the hell... What's with all the not fucking on this show? The most egregious case is Xander /...

Well I just figured it would be the actual sex- or, more specifically, the orgasm- because at that moment you're not thinking about anything else, no distractions, just pleasure and joy. Angel spends lots of alone time with Buffy, cuddling and smootching and whatever, being all lovey-dovey, but...

Xander: "I can't believe one of us would shoot up the high school for no reason" Cordelia: "Because that would never happen in an American high school?" Um... Columbine?

When it comes to Angel, the curse is lifted when he has a "perfect moment of happiness," which this show pretty much equates to sex. Now, look, I love me some sex, but I wouldn't call it a "perfect moment of happiness" most of the time. Faith's turn to full-on evil is a bit hard to swallow...

In my last post I said I was waiting for the show to drop. Of course I meant "shoe" not "show," and even that wouldn't have made much sense because the saying I was thinking of is that you wait for the other shoe to drop, which doesn't even work in this context, so... yeah, there's that...
