And of course, how could I forget (more spoilers):
Happy people (half the people who die)
Shiny happy people (Jasmine's victims)

Other groups Whedon hates (SPOILERS):
Best friends (Jesse)
People named Andrew (there were two people named Andrew who were turned into vampires; one was slain by Buffy, the other got away from the gang in the season 3 premiere)
Pilots (Wash)
Students (too many to count)
Young people and their companions (too many to count)

I think everyone is missing the true oppressed minority that Whedon hates: vampires. Vampires die on Buffy all the time simply because they are vampires. When will people finally take a stand and tell Whedon to lay off?

Spoilers for The Wire:

Sam L, does that mean that any of the X-Men could sing Buffy's part in "I've Got A Theory"?

I agree with Jordo. Nothing is perfect, but every episode has some relevance to either the overall plot or how the characters interact.

Willow and Tara
I saw bits and pieces of this episode before I actually started watching Buffy. I was in a bowling alley, and a muted TV set was tuned to FX, which was re-running the series. It seemed like every time I looked over, Willow and Tara were in bed together (I knew that Alyson Hannigan played a "lesbian

Why even buy the rights if you aren't going to use the story/character?

Given that this is a show inside the world of advertising, in which the company executives sometimes do bad things or the members of Sterling Cooper (Draper Pryce) have to work around disasters related to the companies, you'd think that the sponsors wouldn't want to be the subject of product placement.

Nostalgia appeal for overly obvious synthesizer music cues.

Regarding Spike at the end of Chosen, they address the withdrawn sacrifice pretty well on Angel. Spike acts like someone who was ready to give himself over to the world, only to be forcefully brought back against his will.

The Only Way This Can Work
Is if the show treats Dice like Pauly Shore and is basically equal and opposite to Drama; both incompetent morons, but Dice would exist to make Drama lovable.

There are many things I'd tell Andrew Dice Clay to stop saying…

Although, by casting Dice, the creators' views towards women may reflect views in actual porn, so you weren't far off.

I think it's a very important moment, but it gets lost in the shuffle of important moments at the end of Season 6.
