if anybody finds a video link for the q&a Jared did for Zach Levi's charity, please post it here.

I think I saw SuperWiki tweeted it, tiggy.

sweet!! found it!! don't know why i didn't think to check there first. thanks, Amy!!

hmm I just don't know about the anime. Especially with JA not in them all. I won't avoid them if D wants to watch but I'm not going to seek them out.

Thanks for all the comic con links, guys. Did I miss a link to Misha talking about the antichrist or has that not been posted yet?

Why did I watch the S7 sneak? tearing hair out

I couldn't fall asleep last night, and I started thinking about all the parallels between Buffy and Supernatural.

They both include the loss of a parent, and a surprise! sibling.

They both include a surrogate parent/mentor figure.

They both have the protagonist befriending and/or working with demons.

They both had a natural endpoint in S5, with a major death.

And they both came back anyway, with a character changed by "death".

Both S6s included a very surprising relationship -- Buffy and Spike, and Dean and Lisa.

Both S6s end with a sort of death/rebirth -- Buffy underground with Dawn (epiphany time!) and emerging from a grave, and Cas losing his angel self and being reborn as a god.

It makes me nervous about S7, because even S7 Buffy has some good moments and a couple of episodes I loved, it was for me such a huge disappointment, I almost never rewatch it.

I was posting/ thinking about similarities the other day. Besides the trip to hell thing, I think the shows just have a similar feel. I'll have to think about exactly why. But I was just thinking today that the shows sort of clicked for me in parallel ways.

Fighting monsters via a combo of research and badassedness, with angst being heaped on the pile season by season. There's a lot of similarity in the basic premises.

ita, I'm reading dizbil.

It's hilarious. I can't --maybe it's heatstroke --I feel kinda bad, cuz maybe it's a second language thing-- god, it's just beyond grammar. I suck at grammar. But between Castiel's cock being inside Dean's (OMG: extreme sounding!) and their asses slapping together (what are they *doing*?! is this physically possible?!!!) and poor Dean being pressurized by his family (I envisioned a hot air balloon with bowlegs), I am beside myself.

Buffy: I can see the similarities when it's laid out as words in print, but I don't feel it. Maybe in some of the lighter eps where they bring out more of the humour? But otherwise, Show has more X-Files vibes in look, tone, and the way it deals with humour. And also that it revolves more insularly around two central characters, and not a sprawling team.

My LJ note for dizbil says "English not a strong point". But I was reading not logged in, so I didn't have the benefit of the asterisk, so I read it by mistake. Oh, dear.

I think you should take your mind off it by looking again at the PG D/C from V-S: Worm. It's adorbs.

I came to the conclusion that it's not the language that's a problem, but the lack of a strong hold on reality.

I saw that. So wrong. "It's a snake!" I think my favorite part is how atrocious the art is, when there's also entries like "A Poor Substitute for God".
