*sigh* Even the SF project looks like old news, alas. Julia, Mais où sont les Buffies d'antan?

This morning's Buffy ep on MTV was the one where Willow gets captured by the mayor and they have to exchange the box of Gavrock (full of replicator* bugs). So much happens after the resolution of the primary story: Willow pulls out the pages of the Book of Ascension that she stole. Willow and Buffy have their little talk under the tree about Willow attending UC-Sunnydale -- about how the fight against evil is important and she wants in. Fantastic scene. Cordelia in the dress shop (btw -- her boss in the dress shop = the woman who plays the govt/military lady who sends Chuck on his missions.) Buffy and Angel hang in the cemetary and try to convince themselves that what the mayor said doesn't apply to them. A whole lot happening in under 3 (2?) minutes! Which style of storytelling can be gutted by the vagaries of dvr timing, these days: whole arcs of Fringe play out in the last thirty seconds of the show. Julia, wishing the networks would stop being at war with each other and their watchers.

Bravo to the Billy! There can NEVER be too much storage! The best thing is that I now have access to two dresser drawers which were previously squished up against my bedside table. Well, that and having up to eight, thirty-inch long shelves for the purpose of storing books, DVDs, and (on the bottom ones) shoes. I have also sandbagged one of my own worst habits, because I no longer have a place on the far end of the dresser to dump unfolded laundry. Julia, know thy weaknesses, and caulk those holes, I always say Ha! Love it.

Buffy and Angel hang in the cemetary and try to convince themselves that what the mayor said doesn't apply to them. A whole lot happening in under 3 (2?) minutes! I've been re-watching the eps on MTV too. I don't know why, when I have the DVDs, but there it is. Last night I watched Homecoming. I really love Mr. Trick--he should have stuck around longer. I had kind of forgotten about Scott, the guy who invited Buffy to a Buster Keaton festival. Then later he breaks up with her and Faith is pissed on her behalf. She cracks me up when she walks up to him and his date at the Homecoming dance and announces that the itching and oozing pustules should clear up soon as long as they continue to use the lotion. Faith was a pretty good friend to Buffy before she came over all evil. Yes, she was, and she was a good friend to Buffy after she stopped being evil, too. Season 7 Buffy recognises this as well as her own contribution to it. Most of Faith's mistakes come from not having her own watcher, not having a home or loving parent or anyone else who truly loved her and from being too impulsive for her own good. I always see Faith as older than Buffy, but I suspect she's really younger. "Good thing we're hot chicks with superpowers."

Faith was a pretty good friend to Buffy before she came over all evil. I have the DVDs, too - but like the randomness of the TV watching, I guess. Plus I know some of you are probably watching, too. Each episode is like a puzzle piece. I actually enjoy seeing them out of order and remembering where they fit into the whole.

This is not being my favorite February ever.
Not that any of them are, y'know?

Maybe her brain was fried by med school? Didn't she have a test coming up? Bingo! The exam that was supposed to be on Monday was this morning, so I've done pretty much nothing for the past few days but study for it, and even with the extra studying it still kicked my ass. We've also got lecture and lab this afternoon and classes on Saturday as well to get the schedule back on track.

I always see Faith as older than Buffy, but I suspect she's really younger. "Good thing we're hot chicks with superpowers." I kind of figured Faith had to be younger than Buffy. "Into each generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world" one per generation, Buffy then Kendra then Faith, so she's two generations younger than Buffy. Which would be more useful with a useful definition of generation.
