I searched for "spicy deviled egg" on my iPad earlier today and it auto-corrected to "vigilante eye". WHAT?!

Rotfl. It's hysterical and disturbing at the same time. My phone has called people all kinds of crazy in past. Luckily it insults my BFF the most, so it doesn't matter. Last week it called him a "skank huskerdo". Where did that even come from? I have to triple check it before I send a work related text.

Damn you, Bryke!

...I’m not into the Walt Disney worship I see here on Tumblr, or in real life. The man was a racist and sexist bigot who designed Disney Land as a tribute to a pastoral version of America that never existed. He placed it in Anaheim, where minorities who were too poor and marginalized in Southern California to, by and large, afford cars could not get to it, and instructed admissions employees to discourage them from coming. He refused to hire black or brown people except one woman who was forced to perform in near-minstrel capacity as Aunt Jemima in the Aunt Jemima Pancake House on Orleans Street. He also was a public supporter of some of the most vile anti-Semites in America.

You can talk about modern Disney and all the progress it's made from these frankly nauseating beginnings, but holding Walt Disney up as some champion of individuality, self-expression, and self-esteem is a damn lie. He only wanted you to be yourself if you were white[, Christian] and middle class.

I made that small bracketed addition to finish their point, but this is otherwise perfect and to the person who said it, I love you forever and wish I could meet you in person. I would give you the highest of fives.

There were some really good episodes of that show! The animation was kind of poor though.

Hmm, this calls for a re-visit! Maybe an addition to my recap list? My memories are mostly vague, but I think there's some good material in there. Also, Mozenrath. Oh, that voice.

I love the violent panda .gif! I also predict much second-hand angst in my future. Oh, and in Korra-related news, I resisted watching the already-half-over episode that I stumbled upon on my TV the other day. I pat myself on the back for this.

Watching Buffy is totally the right thing to do late at night. It is a thing and I have to watch ALL of those.

The previously-on segment reminds me that Buffy's been bludgeoned with the Stupid Stick and the camera movement in this scene where everyone's arguing about what to do now that they've kicked the title character out reminds me of what we saw when Blondie was filming people, all shaky and whatnot. Interesting - despite there being enough people left to party at the Bronze with the potentials, including Faith's usual circle of dudes, the electricity is gone because, as Faith said, "the people at the electric company have got the hell out of Sunnydale." By interesting, I mean inconsistent. Heh, Buffy just house-jacked a dude. "Why not? It's what all the cool kids are doing." Spike makes some great faces at Blondie, who knows damn well what "the worst thing that can happen to" Buffy is. It's a shaky cam party at the Summers house!! And Faith is not listening to anybody's input because that is how all the cool kids are doing leadership nowadays. "The Reverend I Hate Women" is a pretty good summation of Caleb's character, Xand. I think Kennedy's supposed to look like she has a point here, but the one bright spot in Buffy's fail last episode was her figuring out that the seal under the high school isn't where the big stuff happens anymore, so her idea to send a team there is utterly pointless. She really does just need to back the hell off and let Faith do her job. Caleb is having something forged that can be used against him! Kennedy's bringer bait. They have a bringer now. He's tongueless, but it's cool because magic.

Hey, Xander has a legit black eyepatch now instead of a bandage! Aww, look at Spike defending Buffy in her absence.

He didn't buy Willow's stammery speech about her "little breather" for a minute and since he wasn't here to see that she'd had her brain removed, he completely calls them on their mutiny. Yeah, you shut Willow down when she tries to defend this by saying they're her friends! Why would she lead with that? Why not, "We're soldiers in a war and General Buffy's lost her marbles"? She double deserves Spike's response: "Oh, that's ballsy - you're her friends, and you betrayed her like this!" Nice dramatic tension in his fight with Faith. Did he just smell the air? Is he a Buffy bloodhound? Was there some sort of thing with vampires being able to sniff out specific humans that I missed before? The only time I remember anyone having such an ability was when Oz smelled Willow and knew she was scared in that episode when he and Cordie walked in on their SOs cheating on them, and he's a werewolf. That was not a happy episode. ILU, OZ!! Um, anyway, Willow's casting the spell to make the dumb bringer talk now. Hahaha! The bringer's voice is coming out of Blondie, so at first it just sounds like he's being all full of himself and spouting off about being evil again and everyone's all STFU BLONDIE until Giles figures it out. Ooh, Ripper comes out and slits the braggy bringer's throat! Also, I may not like Blondie, but the words "What the bananas?!" are funny coming out of anyone's mouth.

Spike is so happy and proud to tell Buffy that he's discovered that she was right about the powerful thing at the vineyard!

He gives a really good pep talk, too. James Marsters has such an expressive face. His look of concern makes me want to hug him. EEE!!! The First brought the Mayor back to have a conversation with Faith! Thanks, First! Aw, Buffy.

"Being the Slayer made me different, but it's my fault I stayed that way." OMG, I would also cry at Spike's love speech to Buffy. All of it is just so perfect for making us give our hearts over to him entirely WHEDON WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO. He's turned from a clear relationship mistake to this loving, charming gentleman who says such beautiful words that it's hard to imagine him being such a bloody awful poet. I just know that this is a set-up to make everyone cry, but I can't stop it! Buffy's asked Spike to stay and he was going to sit in the "diabolical torture device, the comfy chair," but then she told him that she wanted to be held and the image is so sweeeeeeeeeet!! My heart is now completely in this ship that had been so disturbing before and it is going to get broken, I just know it.

Oh, Mayor, even when you're the First and telling Faith nobody will ever love her, you're so likeable - you still add "not like I love you," and you say, "I'll always be with you, Firecracker," and man, you were the fun villain. I miss you. Now it's time for Faith and Robin to bond and then have sexytime. Seems it's contagious, because Willow and Kennedy are doing it, too, after Kennedy insists to Willow that letting go won't make her let go of her goodness and she'll be her "kite string" if she does. Willow is clearly horny enough not to care that there's no way Kennedy would be able to even hang on for the ride if Willow turned evil. And during the montage, Anya and Xander go at it, too! Spike and Buffy just stare into each other's eyes and he strokes her hair as they fall asleep, but that feels almost more intimate and is much better at reaching into my chest and latching onto my heart. Oh, they are just so cute together! PANIC!

The First envies the living and their sexytimes, because they feel things. The First continues to be less intimidating than all of its minions. Caleb has to give this unstoppable elemental evil a pep talk about how it's in the hearts of children and everything, and then we learn that he's its "vessel" and that's why he's got all that strength that Slayers can't match. I like how Caleb was looking rather concerned about where this "I want to feel" thing was heading, and then when he heard, "I want to wrap my hand around some innocent neck and feel it crack," he smiled, reassured, and said, "Amen." What would he have done if the First had said it wanted to have an orgy or something? His head asplode! Buffy had a moment of looking perplexed/worried just now, and I'm just gonna go ahead and say that she had a brief flash of realization that she's on a Joss Whedon show and having a sweet, peaceful night's rest with her love interest and shared my worry for a bit. Faith and pals are totally carrying out Buffy's plan. Guh. You copycats. Buffy presented it abominably because of her sudden onset stupid, but surely you realize you've got nothing more to go on than you did when she called the shots. You haven't added or improved a damn thing with your coup. Buffy is gone when Spike wakes up and she left a note in her place. This had better just be a "Didn't wanna wake you, off to kick some ass!" note. Ugh, woman, why can't you just enjoy your time with him before something calamitous happens?? You are on a Joss Whedon show. Time is of the essence. Cuddle the sexy vampire, dammit.

Yay, Buffy's clever again! The best offense with Caleb is definitely a good defense, coupled with goading. She avoids his blows and drives him right into a wine barrel! The First is embarrassed by this, but really every minion should be embarrassed that the supposed Biggest Bad Ever is less threatening than all the "lesser" Big Bads that came before. This is some well-choreographed avoidance - it's much more compelling than the sporadically-lit chaos of Faith and the potentials killing bringers. And now Buffy's found an absolutely glorious axe, and Faith has found a bomb. Uh-oh spaghettios! Nice touch with the countdown beeps and the rapid detonation beeping happening in the darkness before the ending theme - clearly someone's noticed how jarring that music can be sometimes.

ETA: In the end, it's almost always solitary Buffy accomplishing things, isn't it? It's a nice reminder of why she's the one who gets to be "the" Slayer.

I get irrationally annoyed when authors give their own books 5 stars on goodreads and then say something like 'sorry but I couldn't help it!

'

No. Just. No.

I bet they probably get their friends and family to do the same thing as well.

Sorry. I'm kinda grumpy today.

wild_sasparilla · 04-26-2012, 06:06 AM

^That's just tacky. The online behavior of mercifully few and yet far too many published authors is dishearteningly similar to that of teenaged fanfic writers.

legends · 04-26-2012, 06:31 AM

It took me a minute to figure out what these fools meant...

It's not that they don't know how to spell "cologne," it's that they don't know what "colon" means.

Lmao!!! It took me a second to realize what they meant too Smdh.

Ewww! There needs to be a PSA or something about this. I never want to see another tweet about the smell of anyone's colon.

Fun fact: this episode had the first lesbian sex scene on prime-time network television.

And this ends another addition of completely useless television trivia with nynaeve!

Wild_sasparilla, OMG I love the Disney quote! I didn't even know he was THAT bad.

And aside from Bryke tearing my shipping heart out and laughing, Nick is putting Korra on hiatus after the next episode airs, because apparently what they did with the ATLA airing schedule just wasn't criminal enough (thankfully I watched ATLA after it had aired, so I didn't have to wait NINE ****ing months between episodes at one point). Why does Nickelodeon love torturing Avatar fans? Really, you have to air your Spongebob episodes at our expense?

People were commenting that it's kind of perplexing how in just a couple of years, it went from Joss threatening to quit to get that kiss in The Body to woo, first lesbian sex scene complete with tongue ring. But it's Kennedy and so the number of ****s given is really pretty low from that standpoint.

The scene with Buffy and Spike is pretty sweet. I'm going to pretend those god-awful comic book plots don't exist.

They did establish the vampire super-smell. It's used a lot more on Angel, though, specifically season 2 (which I've re-watched up to episode 20 and I'm re-watching again with Mark). It's such a good season.

Oh yeah, I got Netflix on my phone. I haven't watched MLP yet because I thought maybe I'd wait until it starts on Mark Watches, since I've never watched a show along with him.
