"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I'm rather more of an end = means type of person, I think, and the Council's means as we saw them absolutely blew.

Yes, I realize that's sort of like trying to judge all English bureaucrats by the yardstick of James Bond, but at the very least the Council desperately needed a really good publicist who could lie them out of the stupid blunders they committed.

I don't have a problem with the concept of a Watchers' Council; clearly they gathered and preserved a lot of resource that were useful in the fray; but they desperately needed things like an honor code and some modern management techniques if they had any intention of surviving their proteges. Which, they didn't.

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

I find Charisma Carpenter to be that insanely too-pretty-to-be-human type of pretty

I was just coming on to post about this very thing, because I saw the Charisma Carpenter episode of Baywatch. Way too hot to be a ninth grader. Other than that, she did a pretty good job at playing a high schooler opposite Jeremy Jackson in 1994, when he was 14 and she was 24.

There's a lot of Buffy castmembers on TV lately. My Tivo showed me Alyson Hannigan in My Stepmother is an Alien, Outside the City Limits, Hayley Wagner, Star, and an episode of Roseanne that she was in for about ten seconds, all within two weeks.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I think the Council enjoyed wielding the power the secret-identity-issue gave it over the slayer. I don't think that power was its only motive for keeping the slayer's identity a secret, or even the biggest one. I think was a motive, though.

exactly.

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

I think was a motive, though.

Without the Slayer, they're just watching Masterpiece Theater.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If they knew about the Angelus-in-reading-glasses-as-host option, they might have opted for it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That line-up focuses heavily on Xander.

The evil is this way?

Isn't Xander the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Halloween? (After candy corn, of course.)

I was just thinking that's a Xander-licious way to spend my Halloween. Though they'd better to a rebroadcast for the Mountain time zone, because I love my Xander but I'm not getting up at 5 for him.

If they knew about the Angelus-in-reading-glasses-as-host option, they might have opted for it.

Sort of an upscale Tales from the Crypt type thing.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

If I want to show someone the Willow/Oz arc in four, maybe five episodes, which ones should they be? I'm fairly sure I'll end with New Moon Rising, but I'm not sure where to begin.
