...did either of you read the part where people are 1 star review bombing her on Amazon?

Amazing Lange

Catholic school? That explains it.

It makes me sad, too, but I think the point is "look at her face. Somebody said that to her face. You think it's bad holding the sign? Imagine hearing it out of the blue."

I COMPLETELY understand your sentiment. That said, it seems that they were already weighed down by those words. They remembered more than the mother did it seems. They retained those words and, it seems, knew what they meant if they could come up with instances that the mother didn't even remember.

What the shit?! Adults say those sorts of things to children? I sadly expected to see horrible things from the mother, people are awful but I didn't know how awful. Why on earth would people say these things to other families…just because something flits through your brain doesn't mean it has to come through your…

As an adopted child and a birth parent, this really hit home to me. When I was struggling with the idea of abortion vs. adoption, I actually had someone say- "why would you give your baby to a stranger? How could they love your child as much as you could?" They said this to me in full knowledge that I was an…

Glad you're little one is doing well.

I'm going to ignore your egregious Riley comments (HE IS THE WOOOOORST) for the purpose of responding to what you wrote about Spike. I've always felt that the attempted rape was a really sloppy storytelling move, so I feel okay not making it the be-all and end-all of Spike's characterization in my head (although the…

I believe both Marti Noxon and Jane Espenson admitted the scene was written to manipulate the audience. It was Marti Noxon's idea and Ms. Espenson was against it for, well, because she's a person with sense. I recall her relaying an exchange where she basically tried talking Marti Noxon out of it. However Joss Whedon…

You are so wrong. "I'm getting my own spinoff!" is the best reason to break up with someone ever. What are they going to say to that? They can't get mad, or they won't get to make a cameo in the pilot.

It's so obvious. When he goes to that demon to get more power he goes through all those trials, what does he get? HIS SOUL! So that - in the demon's own words - SHE can get what she deserves. Which, apparently, is a really hot vampire with a soul. You know, again.

And Angel(us) tried to murder her ... a lot.

I'll take Giles...

Not even Ripper Giles. Sexy fuddy-duddy Giles for me.

The only correct answer is both, alternating or together depending on how much kink you can handle (although having them constantly trying to one-up each other would be simultaneously the best and most annoying part of the latter arrangement).

You forgot to mention how Angel asks Buffy to stay with him in the new universe they created and be together, and let all her friends die on Earth, because it's her "destiny."

Ugh, Angel is go gawddamn whiny I can't deal. I've been rewatching Buffy since Pivot started playing them every weeknight and it's a stark reminder of how annoying he was.

I feel this is appropriate.

IT'S ALL ABOUT SPUFFY.

At least Riley wasn't a choice. Anything is better than Riley, even Clem the Loose-Skinned Demon.
