Did you mean to put this in the Supernatural thread? Best navigation skillz eva! Bahahahaha.

phew. I've been wondering what I was missing

I'm doing a TV Theme, and Sundays are Buffy days. I haven't pinned down exactly what I'm doing for Buffy Sundays, but I have a list of 5 just in case I can't think of some better ones to replace some of the crappier ones.

To be clearer, my theme is food that was in television shows, not food inspired by them. So for example, I'm doing Doublemeat Palace Burgers for Buffy and not, say, Graveyard Gravy or something. However, I do think I'm going to do something inspired by the best line in the S1 finale.

But if a couple other people would be in on the group project of a just Buffy MoFo, I could contribute as well.

I did! Wow, I even get lost on the internet.

I feel like there are some here who will appreciate this article.

Best part:

I really think I may be the only person who likes Season 7.

When I say I like it, I don't think it's the best season (that honor goes to season 5, even with how annoying Glory and Dawn are) and I hated it the first time I watched it. But once I rewatched it, I liked it a lot more and the last three episodes really seal it for me. I thought the ending was perfect - I still get misty even thinking about Buffy's "so here's where you get a choice" speech about how each and every one of them can choose to be strong. Yeah, the Potentials are so annoying most of them don't even have names and the Faith the leader thing is awful and the ubervamp is so impossible to kill right until the last episode, but Conversations with Dead People has to stand up as one of the most genuinely horrifying episodes of the show and for a space filler Him is still really funny.

So yeah, not getting the season 7 hate :\

I love Season 7! There are bits that annoy me - KENNEDY - but most of it's still a great storyline, CWDP + Chosen are amazing eps. Also the interactions with Giles and the lactose intolerant potential always give me giggles.

I especially loved season 6, but season 7 is great too!

ahhhh my favourite show! I always spend the day of competition watching Buffy and eating vegan muffins... my next fight entrance song is the Buffy title theme ha ha, gets me in the mood :D

I just finished my BA and I wrote my 20-page capstone lit theory paper on Buffy, specifically on Xander's performance of masculinity and how his narratively-sanctioned misogyny undermines the purported feminist mission of the show. I got an A, natch!

I have THE BIGGEST nerd boner for you right now.

An A and a nerd boner - now I feel like the paper was really a success!

I want to read your paper, it sounds pretty darn awesome!

That's awesome, my sister had Devin Townsend as her fight entrance music. I have BTVS as my ringtone, I want it at my funeral too.

Me too! The term "narratively-sanctioned misogyny" have officially entered my lexicon.

Oh rad! It makes a good ringtone :) Funeral music is an epic idea...

That is just amazing ♥

Thanks guys! I could go on and on about it, but I'll just say that the show's treatment of Xander has always really bothered me, and it was great and kind of cathartic to get to redirect all of my angry rants into a formal academic paper.

I was gonna say something funny but now all I can think is, "Be my deputy" which sounds oddly dirty but I just have that scene looped in my head right now. Haha.

Oooh, I need a hug.
Back in the days when claddagh rings were all the rage, I caught bits of late S2/early S3 and later OMWF. Now that I know the whole thing is on Amazon Instant, I'm giving it another go. (Currently up to "Beauty and the Beasts.")

I really want to read it!

I want to read your paper too!

I had a dream a few weeks ago about finding one of the Giles/Ripper action figures. And then I woke up and went :( because they CANCELED IT AND STOPPED MAKING BUFFY TOYS FOR ME.

We buy a Whedoneverse figure every time there's an achievement or momentous occasion. When my sister got a pay upgrade we got a Lorne figure coz Andy Hallett had only died a few weeks previous. Most birthday's or xmases one of us receives a Buffy/Angel/Firefly figure.

That sounds cool. Pictures, please!

Lorne, Spike (complete with cross and blanket), Darla and Real-Willow-Dressed-As-Vamp-Willow from Doppelgangland.

Jayne, River + Mal




Angel, we left him in his box coz he's a limited edition. He comes with a Claddagh ring.
