"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I have one thing to say... Simon and Simon slash.

Well, there's probably Full House slash out there too. And RPS Olsen twins. shudder

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Err. Yeah. I have accidentally found Olsen Twincest.

It's certainly out there. In all senses of out there.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ooh, ooh! I came back here and found my name being dragged through the dirt, but let's leave that aside for the moment. I just had a blinding flash of inspiration as to the source of my Class Protector hate.

There's something about that whole scene, the prom, all the kids around, the look on Buffy's face...that makes my brain take a screeching U-turn back to the kind and queen crowning scene in Carrie. And that scene fucks me up so badly - seriously, I think my psyche was scarred by it and has never quite recovered - that I have this completely visceral and negative reaction to the scene.

Wow. This never actually occurred to me before. But that's totally what it is. The unconscious mind, she is a strange place.

With the Class Protector thing, I got a "Yeah, a cutesy umbrella makes up for three years of funny looks and shunning. I don't think so" feel. Cordy and Xander smiling at each other gave me a bigger happy. OK, well, and Angel in a tux. And Giles and Wesley in tuxes. And Xander in a tux. There's a trend there, isn't there.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well, yeah. (:

But I love the class protector bit. All of it. Her perfect moments always got ripped away from her, and she deserved to have one unsullied good evening.

Plus, narratively important to show that the kids had gotten a clue to what was going on around them.

Fuck yeah, my excellent twin!

(If I'd wound up with that graveyard news shift, MAN, we'd have really been twins, eh?)

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

The only time in S7 that I got really pissed about a story line was in "Get it Done". I just left me with a big old "that's it?" for the creation of the first slayer mythos.

I didn't understand it. Did all of the Slayer power come from that demonic force? I don't believe that, because it always worked for good. I would have loved a partly demon origin, to explain Buffy's darkness and death wish, but not a purely demonic origin. Did Buffy reject the demon just for herself, or in the place of the original Slayer? What would have happened if she took it, or did anything happen differently because she didn't take it? I thought "Get It Done" was cool, but it doesn't seem to have any meaningful content.

Michael Ian Black: "Flappers. Why did they call them flappers? I wonder what they flapped?" pauses, looks around. "I was the voice of the dog sock puppet for pets.com. Did you know that?"

I don't know who Mike Ian Black is, but this is still funny.

That would have been REALLY funny.
