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

Ah. See, this I disagree with. I don't give either of them a moral pass for being Super People, and I was increasingly disturbed by her habit of smacking Spike around every time she saw him pre-relationship. I mean, if he's evil and needs killing, kill him.

I don't see it as a moral issue so much as a nod to genre tropes. To me, it's morally neutral and kind of funny, and very much Tom and Jerry.

Plus, it wound up backfiring on her, when ~~Tom~~ Spike hit back and discovered that gee, he could. And without that pesky pain.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, there are shows that I'd handle like that too. Buffy doesn't happen to be one of them, but I see where you're coming from.

Don't read these people any more, Plei. You could be writing me some more Sunrise.

But I was *soooooooo* sucked into the two hundred post Spike flamewar I found in Usenet archives. Sooooo sucked into it.

I *did* work on it yesterday.

I think I handle it like that because it seems like the show creators do. I mean, they're big old goobs, and it shows in the writing, especially on BtVS. (AtS, there are nods, but more in the offhand reference way than the actually making it onto the screen way.)

It seems that a lot of things I accept as neat genre twists piss people off (including the end of Chosen, with the Slayer Powering), so it could be that my POV is just overtly nerdy.

The evil is this way?

Narrator, do you have a superkink we should be aware of?

I keep my superkinks to myself, thankyouverymuch.

Does Xander. In a Speedo. Wet. count? Because Narrator's well known for that kind in places of Bronze.

*cough* Well, except maybe one or two.

very much Tom and Jerry.

You misspelled "Itchy and Scratchy."

Feh. I was going for the primary source material (which I'm certain probably isn't, but still.)

Heh. I just think Itchy and Scratchy's perfection of mutilation is much more Spike N Buffy.

Missing in action since 2002...

Jane Espenson. Gilmore Girls.

I liked. Quite a touching episode, once you got over the urge to kick Taylor in the privates.
