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

No shit.
Also, it would have made this family a Total News Family (sure, I'd have been doing Tech stuff at a News Place, but hell!).

Fear the total news family. Half my paper is married to someone else at the paper. And they're all in different bureaus. It's weird and strange.
Paul says there are a lot of news families.
My unscientific speculation, having met many ENG peeps, is that it's because they have no social skills, and are forced to mate with each other.
I don't believe that, because [the Slayer power] always worked for good.
It did?
(I know it would have screwed up the moment, but does anyone else wish we'd seen an "evil Slayer" in the Chosen montage? My ass would have been off with the laughing.)

Maybe, but I'm inclined to lean more toward it being the ungodly hours you have to keep.

Thanks. (bows)
He's the guy who runs the Bowling Alley for Ed on the NBC show "Ed."
He's odd.

Snork.
TV news, which is what he's in, isn't so bad.
He's 8-5, and when he was working News-News, he got off at 11, unless there was a story that needed the truck. Of course, he was also periodically gone for weeks at a time on Major News Events.
Though it occurs to me that my perception of wacky hours is completely detached from reality.
Cindy: The class protector award. I'd always admired BtVS ability to avoid pouring the sugar on, and while being emotional it avoided blatant emotional manipulation. That scene had my teeth rotting and was sooo manipulative that I just thought it jarred compared to everything else that had gone before it.
