Jilli,
I saw it again for the first time (I think) after it aired about 6 months ago. It did not go as badly (for me) as I feared. I also feel like I saw things I missed the first time because I was freaked the fuck out.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

I noticed that Hush was on this weekend and Tivoed it. I am feeling oogy, so I am drinking tea with the fireplace on. I am considering watching, but I suspect I will have enough trouble sleeping tonight without having The Gentlemen in my subconscious.

I'd be bummed if he didn't love it and fist-punch the air a lot.
That's pretty much what he did. And I love the closing lines:
BRING IT, JOSS WHEDON.
Wait, I shouldn’t say that, should I?
Probably not, Mark. Probably not.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm enjoying Mark's remarks. Not least because he anticipates so many developments so perfectly but misses the mark so completely on others. I can hardly wait to see his reaction to Angelus....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Mark likes Prophecy girl - but I've watched it a billion times -- and I'm always on my feet with my arms in the air at the power walk .
and all i needed him to see is how fucked up that episode is -- Because it is
and I bet he starts saying trust in Joss soon. because all though he doesn't love Xander -- he is beginning to see that he can trust Joss to do something ...

Mark Reads:
So is it safe to say that the Anointed One will comprise the season two mythology arc? I’m okay with that. Creepy kids rule.
Boy is he in for a surprise. Several, actually.

Jilli, you are not allowed to even think about watching The Body until 2013. Midyear.

I'm already placing bets with myself for what will freak him out most. Oddly, the one I keep coming back to is when Joyce hits Spike in "School Hard." He's going to love it.
I just have to quote this from Mark:
If there comes a point in your life where Cordelia Chase comes to you and tells you that you need to stop being rude, you’ve probably gone to far.

You guys know Mark is doing a tour, right? He'll be in Boston on February 24. Looks like he's trying to set up an event at a library.
