Wait a sec, Wolfram. What about that episode of Blossom where she and Six have to go undercover at the strip club?
Hey, wait...
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.

That was a very special episode.

Okay, Belonging is the one where we see Fred for the first time and Cordy gets the tanning lotion commercial with the sleazy director, and they end up in Pylea. Ooh, and Lorne hits on Angel.
It must've been *really* forgettable.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The beginning of Belonging is really good. Angsty Wes with the stiff upper lip for Gunn.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I hated that whole story line. I thought (hoped) it was going to be about Willow's abuse of power and how she kept using magic because she was so insecure about who she was.
And the return visit to Rak in "Wrecked" was where the story line shifted to bad places.
And Wolfram, your comment is generally fair. But it's also why clunkers like DMP hurt so much more. We know they're capable of so much more. And we identify enough that it hurts when, say, the skies open up and a dozen 747s full of crap land on Buffy.

I totally agree. It's like watching a good friend do something really stupid. Even if lots of people do it too, it hurts to watch your friend do it much worse.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The part of Wrecked that really, truly disgusted me wasn't the Magic Crack Car Crash stuff per se, it was the way Willow was treating Dawn. Agghghghrhrgh. And no, I'm not saying that one character can't treat another character like crap, just that there needs to be more justification for it than "High now!"
Just for a moment, compare [Wrecked] to any episode of Blossom, Jerry Springer, COPS, Joe Millionaire, Full House, Fastlane, any UPN comedy, or any reality show with celebrity in the title and tell me which you'd rather spend an hour watching?
The latter. I can ignore the awful parts of those much more easily, and I don't feel like I'm being betrayed in the process.

It's a cheap cop out and stupidly innacurate. People are mean drunks but, really, how many people get really belligerent when they're stoned.

Depends on the drug, doesn't it? (not debating that it was a dumbass story-line and that they missed an opportunity to address how willow used magic to compensate for her insecurities)
You know. Gang-related. PCP.
