Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[Almor]

S3E2 - Buffy's friends and mum are being seriously harsh. The girl had to stab the love of her life and send him to another dimension for all eternity! On top of that she was expelled from school, framed for murder and had her mother reject her!

I think that should permit someone a little wigging out and dealing time without getting "you abandoned us and we're upset about it" on her return.

But that's just me.

That episode is part of the reason I couldn't stand Xander the last time I watched some Buffy.
You can't blame her mum that much for being upset though

Someone asked about the order of the Buffy/Angel crossovers?
I used the first answer here once:

although I've been watching Angel recently and not caring at all about the crossovers.

I was so anal about it because Angel turning up in season 7 just seemed idiotic until you have some context, even then it's all a bit 'SMG isn't doing another series, let's wrap up the Angel situation now, wait what about Spike, er, let's just bottle it and not actually wrap anything up, yeah, that works for me!'

'Riley, my sister's boyfriend is soooo into her. They're always kissing, and groping.....I bet they've had sex!'

Why can't I be Little Miss Pumpkin Belly?


(Totes got a new name for Ben now!! )

I agree, but I think it's probably accurate to how humans react and feel. I'm watching Homecoming. 'Cordelia, the spatula' I do love the running theme that guns are never useful.

Except if you're Warren (although I guess technically that didn't work out that well for him )

Also, smart cookie Darla busted out the guns on Buffy in the first season.

But yeah, the over-riding theme was definitely anti-guns.

Rocket Launchers, on the other hand -

The Judge: You're a fool. No weapon forged can stop me.
Buffy: That was then...
[pulls out a rocket launcher]
Buffy: ... this is now.
[Angelus & Drusilla run for cover]
The Judge: What's that do?

I just remembered this thread - http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/the-guardians-top-50-television-dramas-of-all-time.240330/

Completely taken over by a Buffy discussion in the middle, including a good ding-dong regarding feminism and misogny

Think it starts around page 6 or 7.

I didn't just go back and read that, oooooh no, not me, I'm just a good old friend of Xanderrrrrrs here

[Lord Camomile]

I've got 99 problems and watching too much Buffy might legitimately be considered one of them.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh good, more Angel back story.

Because that's never excruciating.

 

[red rose]

Put the box-set down

 

[Manter]

The accent isn't great, is it?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Boxset? It's Netflix

The accent isn't great, is it?

No.

No it is not.

 

[smmudge]

I like when he completely gives up doing any accent with the angel/drusilla back story but I swear he hasn't even stepped foot in America by then.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's the way his inflection goes up at the end of every sentence, like an Australian leprechaun.

Well, that's part of it, anyway. It's a big green sack of horrible plastic shamrocks.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, and Buffy's hair is shocking in this episode. She looks like she's been taking style tips from one of her mother's frumpier friends.

Is that the bad fringe hairstyle?!?!

 

[red rose]

Is that season 3? I swear they go way too far in trying to make her look goody-goody/frumpy to offset Faith's bad girl leather look and she ends up dressing like a 1960's president's wife.

The very same

There's been a lot of trainers and jogging bottoms, which is always satisfying, but she is looking very non-slayer at all.

Another thing: it's said in the very first episode that when you look at a vampire you are no longer looking at the person, you're looking at the thing that killed it. They get your body, but they don't get your soul.

If that's the case, why is everyone so fucking down on Angel? It wasn't him, it was the demon! I think these people just enjoy the melodrama...

He does have a habit of losing his soul. It'd worry me a bit....

I was looking on a fan blog for examples of First Lady Buffy and instead I found these. Which are infinitely better.

OMFG eta: at the Riley kittens. The fuck?!

Lord Camomile I think we're on the same episode

 

[Manter]

They are quite terrifying. (red rose)

Is Angel being all mopey and Buffy's all conflicted and Willow's adorable?

Ok, not narrowing it down much...

Not much, no Jenny Calendar/The First is being all evil. It's making me feel rather *ahem* confused

 

[Manter]

Ah, I'm about three episodes ahead of you. It's a very confusing season IMO

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, that's the one.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's fucking snowing?!

 

[Rebelda]

Shhh you're about 5 minutes ahead of me
