Ahh. Leave it to me to do something like that. Thanks for the fix.

Gleebo, the quick edit code to make the text smaller and indent it (like when you're quoting someone else) is really easy. It's just the greater than symbol. You put it at the start of a new line and it indents your paragraph, and changes the font to typewriter type. So you take this:

and you get this

There's no tag to close. Starting a new line (with a return) breaks it for you. Up above the posting box, there is a link to all the quick edit codes. It produces a pop-up window, so you can look at it while your posting. You don't have to leave your post to check out what code does what.

I'm not trying to make you conform to the coding ways. It's just really easy, and less persnickety than HTML.

Thanks, sounds a great deal simpler than what I have been using since I started here.

It's disconcerting to see DB Woodside in ads for the new season of 24 while watching him be Principal Wood in Season 7 Buffy, isn't it?

(I watched the very end of "Same Time Same Place" and the first half of "Help" before work this morning.)

Becoming part 2 will always win in my book. I don't care that Angel got to come back later. For me, that episode is all about teeny tiny girl has a swordfight with her hulking asshole ex-boyfriend, and she completely beats his butt all around the town.

I swear, I could just fast-forward the whole episode to that bit where she catches the blade between her hands and shoves it back at Angel, so his wrist collapses and he smacks himself in the head with the butt end of the sword.

It is like unto the Flaming Baseball Bat of Passion.

I've so thoroughly inculcated my Mom into Buffista-speak that she called me and asked me, "Did you know that Principal Hottie is going to be on 24 this season?"

Go Mom.

Oh, yes. This. "No weapons... No friends... No hope... Take all that away... and what's left?" - "Me".

Again, I am Nutty. Well, a non fast-forwarding Nutty, because despite thinking this moment is the core of the episode, I do love the rest of it, too (both before and after it). But still.

"No weapons... No friends... No hope... Take all that away... and what's left?" - "Me".

In the final summation, however, it does take weapons, friends and hope to save the world, doesn't it?

I'm with Nutty and Nilly on Becoming 2 (and that is a fun sentance to read - hee). I don't think it's cheapened at all by Angel coming back - it didn't make the act any easier for Buffy at the time.

My biggest problem going forward was that the reprecussions of Angel coming/being back were kinda swept under the rug after Amends (with the exception of Enemies). That and it took so long to get any followup on THE BIG LIE.

Also, Steph's mom - funny.

It does, and despite winning this battle, being deprived of pretty much everything else, Buffy herself did have a hard time to cope, and she ran away. But on that moment, she really didn't have anything else. She was all alone and she still hit back. And won. Willow was casting the spell, but even without that Buffy would have won.

She wants her battles to have friends and hope and weapons, she knows they're necessary, but even when it seems they're all gone, she still holds on to herself. To me, it seems like one of those things that once you realize you still have something - even when they don't exist - that's how you can reclaim them, if I'm making any sense.
