I understand the appeal of speedster villains, because Barry is so overpowered what do you throw at him, but thank God they're doing something else next season.

Yeah I think he realized his problem was trying to straddle the fence when he's just so GOOD at politics and clearly it's something he's passionate about. No one wants to see the Cavs when Lebron is on the bench.

Every time Colbert brings back "Colbert" I get excited. The character formed my whole idea of satire and got me into politics. Thank God Stephen has loosened up about bringing him in and that he's dominating the ratings like he deserves.

"You stayed?" broke me into a million pieces.

Oh I completely agree that none of those films did it, but I have noticed a trend of people picking their least favorite film of those few years and blaming it for the end of the Renaissance.

I've heard arguments about it being Tarzan, Treasure Planet, and Lilo and Stitch. It basically comes down to which one you didn't like.

So like a "Last Action Hero" kind of situation?

They filled in Walt's backstory by very subtely splicing in "Malcolm in the Middle" footage.

I think it definitely was a fucked up and yes, evil thing to do, but I do think her going from that to flaying a man alive and trying to murder her friends using some of the greatest fears is a pretty big leap.

And I understand that, but they made a big show over Willow becoming sociopathic in her dealings with her friends as if she was a brand new character.

Yeah by the time the end of the season rolled around I was kinda upset that the Trio was basically a boring place holder for a more interesting Dark Willow that we only got to enjoy for three episodes.

I'd go one further and say they had been setting up the potential for an evil Willow storyline for years by all the talk of her over using magic and the brief glimpse of her power against Glory.

My main complaint with this season is that they never showed dark magic having the affect of turning Willow evil until the finally. The drug metaphor made her seem more like someone who would do anything to get a fix rather than someone who wanted to cause active harm.

I think Joss is on record saying this was the dirtiest thing he's ever written.

I always figured that they never had the budget for it until Joss Whedon said screw it and got her that Series Regular pay for a week of shooting so he could do that joke and compensate her for her final week.

Good call

Oh wow, other than dating Buffy, a Xander who didn't get into college so he "joins the army" would've been a really interesting plot.

For me it was because it was the laziest metaphor for what was clearly a studio mandated episode.

It's all the damn PCP addicts!

Plus there's something really awesome about Spike getting his groove back fighting Buffy without throwing a punch.
