Grin I've just started series 7.
Poor Spike.

The Once More With Feeling soundtrack is my current favourite housework music.

What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?

Do you know, I get embarrassingly emotional when I watch Buffy Grin

Willows dress is beautiful in once more with feeling.

Love Buffy.
Currently reatching them on Syfy. I skyplus them and catch up in the day no I am on maternity leave.
Love Hush and Bargaining part 2 where Buffy reveals that she as actually in heaven.....her speech to Spike at the end has never left me...completely threw me the first time I watched it in my 20s

EmpressOfThePuddle · 12/02/2013 17:08

You know, it just occurred to me.

Why does no-one comment on Buffy's resurrection? If Willow and Tara were looking after Dawn for nearly 5 months and thought it was permanent, wouldn't they hhave needed to make it official? Where did Social Services think Buffy had been?
Or was it a side effect of Willow's spell that nobody noticed?

TwllBach · 12/02/2013 17:16

Didn't they have the Buffy bot for exactly that reason, Empress? They sent her to the open day at school with dawn, etc.

I'm 35 and I still enjoy it.

NynaevesSister · 12/02/2013 17:32

I am 45 and still love it! Joss Whedon is my fave writer ever.

EmpressOfThePuddle · 12/02/2013 17:34

Of COURSE. idiot me. Thanks TwllBach Grin

TheSilveryPussycat · 12/02/2013 17:35

empress I wondered similar, despite the Buffybot there was a grave with a headstone? I cope with this kind of thing by deliberately dismissing it as a glitch and by looking at Spike

ZenNudist · 12/02/2013 17:36

It's worth a rewatch. I think I last rewatched it on mat leave whilst bf-ing.

When Angel leaves for his spin off start watching that too. That way you get to enjoy the occasional back and forth of characters.

ZenNudist · 12/02/2013 17:42

Once more with feeling is my favourite episode of any TV show ever. More shows should do musical episodes.

Willow is fantastic as the big bad. I still enjoy alyson Hannigan in how I met your mother.

EmpressOfThePuddle · 12/02/2013 18:18

Before this I'd only seen the occasional early evening episode. watching it through from the start is amazing. I love the way that even in the final seasons they still refer to stuff from the first series.

TheSilveryPussycat · 12/02/2013 18:21

Some of the best lines were cut from the early evening episodes. Spike's line about candles!

TwllBach · 12/02/2013 18:22

Oh I hadn't thought about the head stone

TheSilveryPussycat · 12/02/2013 18:27

Try my Spike solution Grin

TwllBach · 12/02/2013 18:35

Buffy and spike have just brought the house down Grin

"I might be dirt, but you're the one that likes to roll in it, Slayer"

EmpressOfThePuddle · 12/02/2013 18:35

I have this huge compulsion right now to break into Under YourSpell at full volume.

But I'm in sainsburys.

TwllBach · 12/02/2013 18:36

Spread beneath my willow treeeeee

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/02/2013 18:42

I take it you all heard that Robin Sachs (Ethan Rayne) died last week Sad

EmpressOfThePuddle · 12/02/2013 18:52

I hadn't Sad . He was a good villain. So to speak.

I managed not to start singing in Sainsburys but I couldn't help it in Waitrose. People politely ignored me.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/02/2013 18:55

I forgot the link. He was only 61 Sad

TwllBach · 13/02/2013 10:31

Buffy is wearing red lipstick. It looks really nice - I wish I had the right complexion for red lipstick.

I also like her new grown up hair. It was sad that she had to cut it off to make herself feel better and push spike away, but it is pretty.

YANBU, not at all [big dizzy virtual hug] The wit, the whimsy, the shirtless-ness, the tortured looks and Olaf the troll on the rampage "Hide your babies and your bead-work!" .... "Hit him with fruits and various meats!" "[swipes at skip bin w large troll hammer] Puny receptacle!"

Luckless Xander ?What do you think? Another demon was attracted to me. I'm going gay. I've decided I'm turning gay. Willow, gay me up. Come on, let's gay. Let's get this gay show on the gay road?
☺

Tee! Buffs is the reason I first went in a date with my husband! It even featured as part of our wedding. Buffs is legendary!
