That the same person who wrote Where the Wild Things Are and Beer Bad wrote a good episode boggles the mind. WWTA might be my least favorite episode that's not in S7.

I feel like most of the episodes on this list would lose 99% of their impact watched apart from the show as a whole. Only Hush and maybe The Zeppo really work divorced from the show. I mean, Graduation Day without any buildup? Becoming, Pt. 2 without Pt. 1?

My bad then. I'm still not seeing that as the media-pushed narrative but I'm willing to admit I could be in a bubble.

A much more notable story. But it doesn't fit the narrative Wikileaks wants.

Wait till he finds out they've hacked his fair-trade sandals.

This headline perpaetuates what I think is a false narrative about this dump. Basically, if the CIA has the ability to listen on Samsung TVs, then yes, they've probably used that ability. However, this infodump is more like an instruction book—it doesn't contain any info as to who this has been used against.

This seems like a weird description of Therous based on his other work I've seen.

I liked Spike generally, even in S6, but he was pretty awful in S7. It kind of turned into the Buffy and Spike show for a while.

Also, yes, it was definitely an axe.

That's fair. I really dislike S7 so some of it might be just grasping at what I could get.

I'm not going to claim it made a lot of sense. But it had the right vibe for me, something most of S7 was sorely lacking.

Not a very nice thing to say about Louie and Doug Benson.

AMEN

The thing is, the way it happens—I'm not saying you couldn't guess, but it's basically impossible to predict. She's not the victim of a demon or an elaborate plot. She gets hit by a stray bullet from an asshole. I understand why people who aren't white dudes like me would be upset by it. But I wouldn't change it, even…

I like S6 a lot. But man, I wanted Warren to get hit by a very slow meteor. I couldn't really feel negatively toward Willow for filleting him.

That's great. I'm a Christian and in the time since I've watched the show, my view on what "Hell" is has slowly moved to where I basically agree with Manners.

Thank you for sharing. I think that's really cool, the connections you found and how they shifted with life.

"Angel might not have been cool, but he was very complex."

Agreed on all points. I actually think all of Angel is fantastic except S4, which has some good stuff (I like the jasmine stuff) but also performs some awful character assassination on Cordy. She does get the redemptive episode in the last season which is nice…

I like all the love for Angel here. I've found that most discussions are all Spike, all the time. Don't get me wrong—Spike is a fantastic character and I wouldn't want to have to choose. But as someone who sometimes like Angel (the show) better than Buffy, I think he often gets the short shrift because Spike was so…
