But for those who aren't, or who are at least curious, there were a series of developments that were particularly auspicious for our sector of the fandom. A special shout out to our own angearia who arranged for last ( Read more... ) -
Notes on Buffy 3.09: The Wish
Note: These notes are not particularly long (by our standards), but LJ seems to think they are. The usual disclaimers are cut so the post will fit.

Netflix and BtVS/AtS
The Whedon shows (and a bunch of others including Bones and Arrested development) were supposed to expire on April 1st. But today my queue is showing 4/1 expirations for a couple of movies, but not for any of the TV shows. Does anybody know what to expect on April 1st? I hope they got renewals for all those shows. I've gotten spoiled with the ( Read more... ) -
Notes on Buffy 3.08: Lovers Walk
Standard disclaimer: I'll often speak of foreshadowing, but that doesn't mean I'm at all committing to the idea that there was some fixed design from the word go -- it's a short hand for talking about the resonances that end up in the text as it unspools.
Standard spoiler warning: The notes are written for folks who have seen all of BtVS and AtS. ( Read more... ) -

Note about the Notes
I just wanted to apologize for being increasingly less responsive to comments. I'm in the middle of a rather severe depression and don't have much energy for things -- so please don't take it personally! The comments are much appreciated by all three of us, so I hope you all will keep offering them. I've learned a lot from you guys. I'm sure ( Read more... ) -

Angel Season One: A Question
For some reason I can never remember the details of AtS. I've watched it through twice, but am very vague about what happens. Now Angel is back in the Buffyverse, and AtS is on Netflix, and so I'm rewatching.
Season one basically shows Angel in a good light. The end of Sanctuary is my all-time favorite Angel moment. He really is a wise and ( Read more... )
