My dad took me to see R.E.M. in 96, and a band I'd never heard of called Radiohead opened for them, followed by Natalie Merchant. I got a key chain.

They weren't marines. Some of them were former marines, but they were mercenaries working for a space mining company.

Yikes
His tiny eyes are creeping me out. It's like he's looking THROUGH me.

Hmmm
Perhaps they hit it off during The Marriage Ref. Oh god, is Madonna going to be on next?

I always forget they call him the Host for most of this season, until we're introduced to Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan.

I love that Angel's obsession with Mandy is a recurring joke on the show. One of my favorite exchanges:

Brush the leg
Put him in a cadaver pouch!

How can they not mention it? It takes up the entire screen!

@Chartex: See also S7 re: speeches.

I just never felt invested in Riley and the Initiative. While Adam was a decent villian, everything leading up it was beige. There are some fun and stand-out episodes in the 4th season (Restless, Hush, Something Blue, the body swap), and I think what they have in common is a lack of Riley/Initiative.

As far as I can tell, looks aren't always an indicator of popularity in high school. I know there were plenty of pretty drama nerds and band geeks, but in my high school it had more to do with where you grew up and what kind of car you drove. Buffy may be hot, but she's also been labeled as a "weirdo."

No, no, baggy jeans are fine, baggy jean OVERALLS are not.

Totally worth it.

NOBODY LIKES SEASON 4.

God yes, those baggy jean ones at the end of season 2? Really unforgivable, even for the nineties.

Ok, I loved Event Horizon. And Resident Evil. Wow, I have really shitty taste in movies…

No way
No. No. I do not believe she has EVER made this cake for a anniversary or a wedding. No one in their right mind would want something that awful. So not only is she an awful cook and terrible person, I'm adding LIAR to the list of offenses.

Or they're both just douchey baristas.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the soundtrack to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was probably the first time I really fell in love with a score.

That was Dru's fingernail, not Darla's.
