there are some times you've just got to not worry about where Capt. Logic is.
For some reason, this phrase seems very useful.
Kaylee (quietly, to Zoe): Why are we doing this?
Zoe: I don't know. I think Mal isn't being Capt. Logic at the moment.
Or Xander could use it:
Buffy: You really don't like Spike, do you?
Xander: Well, when Capt. Peroxide is around I tend to not worry about Capt. Logic.
Well it is derived from a Buffy quote:
"Capt. Logic's not driving the tugboat"
Memfault on who said - I want to say it was Riley, but I REALLY don't want to say it was Riley, if you get my meaning.
It was Anya, if memory serves.
t edit Phew, I was first! There's no surer route to a cross-posting pileup than a "who said this?" question.
Somehow I missed that-- must not have been listening hard enough. Oh, dear, I'll have to go back and watch every episode with Anya in again. What a hardship.
Anya? Huh. I would have gone with Xander or Buffy before Anya. It fits, but I can't put it in context.
Did Oz and Anya ever get a scene together of significance? I don't recall one, and it's a shame that never got to happen.
The talk of quotes above just made me think of that. I think they interacted a little in Season 4, but Oz departed too soon for any quality exchange of dialog (I think).
Found it!
From Flooded:
XANDER: Anya. If I tell them we're engaged right after you dared me to ... wouldn't you always wonder if that's the only reason I did it?
Anya thinks about this, realizes he's right.
ANYA: Oh.
XANDER: Score one for Captain Logic.
ANYA: No, no. Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat. I smell Captain Fear at the wheel! (lowers her voice as Tara and Dawn move toward them) God, I hate this. This tone in my voice? I dislike it more than you do, and I'm closer to it!
Cereal: We should maybe move this to Previously.
Probably the most glaring continuity error in the whole series is in "Innocence," where a whole day somehow gets inserted in between Xander having the Urgent and Key Army Base Plan and it actually being carried out, although Joss has fanwanked that one (or I suppose I should say "writerwanked").
Okay, that's one I never picked up! What was Joss's explanation? I don't remember him saying anything on the commentary.
Yeah, I saw the Buffy costume blips in When She Was Bad, but didn't feel particularly bothered by them. It was a screw up but not an important one and it just felt like part of the rich Buffy tapestry.
