I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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

Willow's Magic Crack® trips seemed more like LSD than weed or PCP to me.

I was thinking mushrooms or ecstacy. But then again, I'm always thinking about those things.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

I thought it would be hilarious in much the same way that one "BArney Miller" episode was so funny.

"Good in milk. Go 'mooshie, mooshie.'" I loved Jack Soo.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I just found out that in "I, Robot" when Giles is listening to the radio the announcer is voiced by Joss himself.

Am I going Tru Calling nuts, or did you post that somewhere yesterday?

Yep. just noticed I posted that in "Previously" so I deleted it there, and moved it here, where it belongs.

Phew. It still doesn't explain why I had an Aerosmith song running through my head yesterday when I just heard it on the radio today.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

A lot the terrible episodes, like She and The-One-where-the-entire-plot-was-Buffy-and-Riley-having-sex, have redeeming seriously good moments. She is actually great up until Alternate-Dimension-Chick shows up.

As You Were, on the other hand, blamed *Buffy* entirely for the B/R break-up. Not even a mention of Riley's cheating. Or serious psychological issues. Or the fact that he barely mentioned somthing was wrong until after she'd found him getting bitten by a vampire.

I *liked* Riley, and I'm saying, that's got to be one of the worst episodes ever.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

I like AYW. It had RILEY! the same Riley from Smallville, Iowa that I liked as grad student, military guy and normal boyfriend .

Not even a mention of Riley's cheating. Or serious psychological issues. Or the fact that he barely mentioned somthing was wrong until after she'd found him getting bitten by a vampire.

Huh! What is this. I know nothing of psychologically disturbed Riley.

I have erased Shadow to Into the Woods from my Riley arc as I have erased Smashed to Double Meet Palace from my Willow arc. (It's nice here by the pyramids).

And finally reached the end of the active NA Buffy thread. yay me!

Wait. this means that BtVS is really finally over. t Willow banshee scream from two to go

I know nothing of psychologically disturbed Riley.

"You're attracted to the dark supernatural broody so I'm letting these Initiative enhancements kill me" blah blah blah.

I can live with the one-sided-ness of Riley's return, simply because I don't have a dog in that fight. I was happy to focus on Riley in the ways he wasn't connected to Buffy, few as those may have been.

The demon eggs and the not telling about not killing the first demon, not so great. But not a disaster for the story.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Eh, everyone has different standards. Allyson's been saying forever that Buffy died for her (along with Buffy, go figure) in season 5. But she was one of AS YOU WERE's biggest defenders. I think she may have liked it better than OMWF, but don't quote me on that.

Granted, I don't know ANYONE who liked SHE or DOUBLEMEAT PALACE that much. I personally kinda like that latter, but that's because I worked enough in that sort of environment to really enjoy the satire without it taking over my life so much that representations of the same send me screaming from the room.
