My (totally unresearched and probably wildly wrong) theory is that this story presents an accurate depiction of marriage among the wealthier classes during the time period portrayed. The daughter has to marry whomever her father chooses, at the time of his choosing, and most of them would never even have met their…

B-mo? Fantastic!

It almost seems as if Erickson is complaining about private industry responding to market demand.

I just replied to someone else about how Xander is the worst. And the cherry on the Xander is horrifying sundae was his dumbass comment in the finale upon finding out that Anya was dead.

Xander is the absolute, fucking worst. THE WORST.

Yeah, it’s pretty amazing that despite not having a soul, which is always Angel’s excuse for being an ass when he’s Angelus, Spike managed to FEEL REMORSE. As a soulless creature. After it had already been established that the chip didn’t work when he was violent with Buffy. And he made the CHOICE to seek out a soul,…

Absolutely worst male on the show was Xander. The guy was such an incredible douchebag but he got a pass on all his really terrible behavior. And Buffy and Willow were the worst for always standing by him no matter what he did.

Seriously. Back in the day I thought his lines were funny. Now? It’s not so funny anymore after the PUA/MRA thing. Half the time he sounds like he’s quoting from the handbook.

omg omg the way they wrote him off, like it was HER fault she didn’t NEED him enough like a weak widdle wimmin, and then Xander being all patronizing to her about how she was “using” him which was bullshit...it makes me ball up my fists in rage. I can’t watch that episode where he leaves, not because I give a shit…

Kate Beaton should direct!

Yeah, I’ve been weepy all through this damn post.

Don’t make me cry. I can’t believe that Matthew, Marilla, and Gil have all passed away. SOB SOB SOB

They’re fancy too!

The only couple I feel actually ok rooting for on the show! They are adorable.

Bitch, please.

They’re European. I hear it’s perfectly acceptable for the bride to fuck all of the groom’s friends/relatives over time, as long as she maintains an air of ennui.

For anyone who wants to relive the recaps all of TWOPs old recaps are here

I never watched it religiously (pun completely intended) but I used to LOVE reading the recaps on Television Without Pity. That recapper was savage as fuck. It was hilarious.

so thats what a seventh degree burn looks like...
