THANK you.  This is one of my favorite episodes — placement be damned, it's charming!

The show was lessened by his loss.

So, which makes you feel worse — the sudden, shocking death of Tara, or the drawn-out (complete with hoping against the odds) death of Fred?

[BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP] you old dirty slut!

I'm still surprised there are people who don't like Walk Through The Fire.  Yeah, the metaphors are cheesy, but it's a musical episode — it's all about making the subtext text, and in song form!

I do like Why We Fight.  It doesn't receive a lot of positive attention because it's in the middle of a "You're Welcome"/"Smile Time" sandwich, but it is a fun and thought-provoking episode, if not up to the high marks set by its predecessor and successor.  (Still, I don't feel right that Lawson is so easily able to…

There's always BLOOD in the banana stand.

Over in Buffy Season 9, I'm a little weary of surprise ending after surprise ending, but Angel & Faith has been consistently awesome.

That's not how the history books are going to remember it.  I expect my own chapter.

You know, we can talk about the ending and how screwed up it was, but this was a game with a lot of great moments.

I'm just kind of pretending the ending didn't happen and the Reapers just died and that's that.

Just finished it.  99.9% of the game is really great and fantastic and exactly what I'd hoped for.

@avclub-bc3e14e2ab565f7787d753233df681d1:disqus I'm rereading them, she's reading them for the first time, passing them back and forth.  Just trying to explain some of the Season 8 storylines shows how out there that season was: "Time of Your Life" makes no damn sense to anybody who wasn't already aware of the Fray…
