The James Marsters interview is pretty great. Maybe the one thing on "Buffy Week" that finds a way to still give a fresh perspective to a show I've been fixated on for 19 years.

How wacky. There's some funny comments about it in the Newswires, but I can no longer link to them. I think my favorite is in the Hannah article: "This is what happens when the women leave the office for ONE day?"

He has to be one of the best celebrity interviewees of all time. I remember when Buffy was still on he said something akin to: "Chekhov, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it's all about the same thing… beautiful losers!" Which has always stuck with me.

Honorable Mention: "It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big."

- "Anthropology 101"
- The Wire "The Target"
- Firefly "Serenity" (the Pilot, not the movie)
- I think most of the best series finales are not intended to be finales (Party Down, Deadwood) but Rectify had a good one.

Austin Aries looks like an exact combination of Ringo Starr and Elijah Wood.

Season 2
"Restless" (alternately "Passion" and "Who Are You?")
Willow & Xander, s1-3; Faith s4; Spike & Buffy s5-7; Darla for the whole shared universe
Angelus (hm for Glory)
Not a pun but I have some favorite bits:

Just from the first description I read of Paterson, I thought of that quote about how in Italy or Paris workers discuss literature and classical painters. Rosenbaum has repeated that excerpt from their conversation a lot, it makes Paterson feel like a culmination of a long thought process that's gone on throughout…

I've never felt better about owning a cut-rate, generic TV.

Never tell him the odds.

Happy sad, late Birthday, Spy!

I was probably in the first camp, owing more to my ignorance of Harrison's solo career as much as anything. But the second group is so intriguing that I'm trying to learn more.

I dropped off from B99 in the same place. I'd like to catch up, assuming it doesn't get as mushy as later Parks & Rec did.

I kinda feel like there's a division between people who think George Harrison was a relatively minor, background Beatle, and people who think he's one of the greatest musicians ever, and very little overlap or space between.

I want TBD!

He just needs to eat it with pasta in a bathtub for the trifecta.

I hope they don't reduce too many shows down from full length reviews to just discussion points, but it might make sense for most wrestling shows, which are a series of segments anyways (though Smackdown feels a lot more cohesive as a whole show than Raw does).

This is what they serve at the food truck by my house. I've never had the legit version, but the one with potatoes is pretty good.

Some days, that's the only thing that comforts me.

The weirdest stealth change to The AV Club is that it's now like 20% wrestling clickbait.
