5 minutes into Afterlife and Aeryn has so far said "Why are they all assuming she was in Hell?" and "she needs to talk to someone who's not one of her close friends. You know what, she should talk to Spike."
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Does Aeryn know what a smartypants they are?

I had forgotten baby Kal Penn is in Beer Bad! Aeryn immediately recognized him from House.
I had ALSO forgotten that slightly-less-baby Kal Penn was in TVG as the demon sending Cordy the bad visions.
Hivemind, help me remember - are there any S6/S3 crossovers where it's important to watch the Angel ep first? AtS moved to Monday nights in S3 and so the chronological viewing order is Ats -> BtVS, but it still feels like Buffy should go first.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I don't think so. Didn't Angel get the phone call about Buffy being alive at the end of the season premiere? That should really come after Bargaining Pt 2, but you're already past that point in your watch and I can't think of any other crossovers those seasons.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Huh. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don’t like it, vibes all wrong.
Unless they pull of the seemingly impossible and find a way to make the answering machine thing work today

I associate The Rockford Files so completely with James Garner's charm and the vibe of 70s California, I can't imagine anyone doing well in a modern remake. And I've not observed David displaying that much charm in recent decades (though he's certainly the celebrity with the strongest physical resemblance to Garner). Maybe they should have aimed a little lower, like a remake of Spencer: For Hire.
I suppose the answering machine thing could be voicemails on a phone Rockford is always forgetting to check. But you know whatever modern interpretation of the theme song they do is going to be vastly inferior.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have Hawaii 50 redux fears. They'll take what what was 70s-smart and 70s-sexy and replace it with a bunch of shooting.
I'll give it a shot though.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
We find that hard to picture. Yeah, they could do voice-mails or a weird text or e-mail once in a while. Somebody picks up his phone and says "Don't you message with anyone who likes you?" "Yeah, but I guess it's been a few weeks." If the internet and Rockford had shown up together, Jim's eye-rolling face should have been a meme. Only absolute and total deal-breaker is if Angel shows up as a woman with huge ta-tas and tight -t-shirts.(They could even do that, if somehow those people managed to have the same relationship and not some dumb will-they-or-won't-they?)
