Buffistas

Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Film and TV discussion

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.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I have a migraine, so while I was lying down in a dark room waiting for the meds to kick in, I came up with a list of my favorite Giles moments. In no particular order:

• demon Giles in "A New Man"
• "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead."
• all of "Band Candy"
• cleaning Buffy's wounds in "Helpless" while head watcher guy says "You have a father's love for the child"
• "Wish I Could Stay" in OMWF
• that tiny scene of Giles drinking and listening to Cream after Joyce died
• "If it's guilt you're looking for, Buffy, I'm not your man. All you will get from me is my support... and my respect."
• skewering the mayor (with a type of sword I can't remember)
• "I'd like to test that theory"
• the flaming baseball bat of vengeance (my personal favorite)

I could probably list about 20 more, but those are my favorites.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Pink sparkly hearts around all of those

Well damn, I forgot this one: "Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats. And, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and... everybody lives happily ever after."

So many good moments.

Our wings are not tired.

• all of "Band Candy"

I need to rewatch this now. Yes, all those moments.

This is just so sad.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"It's Giles!"

"It's Giles...with a chainsaw!"

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Wearing the sombrero!

"I thought it was...festive."

You have a tail!

Only a little one!
