I used to love talking about Buffy,... but now all I have is a sense of dread every week, crossing my fingers, hoping,... so I'll be brief.

The burger joint being all too freaky weird from the get go made it boring... no suspese, no mystery, not too funny, seen it ("whats in the meat?") before.

Dislike the whole magic-drug addiction Willow stuff, so I hated the Amy business, seeing them mine the banal after school plotline some more.

Xander and Anya's marriage tension is so "bleh" and being exectued with little imagination or wit; it seems like its in the background becasue they cant write interesting scenes based on it.

At least Spkie was funny.

At least the old lady demon was circumsized.

At least next week could be better.

It's a shame I'm not posting in this thread. 'Cause if I was, I'd be rotfl

I thought they meant In N Out. Double meat = Double Double. All over California, not all over the country = In N Out.

This isnt the show I used to look forward to every Tuesday. What a bummer of a season. I have been rewatching the first three seasons on DVD and even the not so good episodes were much better than this season. When you start shaking your head at what a great show has become, something is wrong? The characters arent fun, the plots are just moving a long at a slow pace and I hate to say it but everyone is, "Going through the Motion."
Is Josh too busy doing other stuff to see whats going on with his Baby or does he just not care anymore?
This particular episode had some ok points but overall I was just bored.
When you start disliking most of the characters, its time to throw in the towel.

Angel is killing Buffy this season.

Pure speculation on my part (contains spoilers, das don't read!):

Patman,

When I read these Buffy / Angel talkbacks, it's almost like I've walked into "Bizarro world". Everything seems so completely backwards.

While I don't have the time to articulate it just now, I will say two things.

(1) The Willow addiction storyline is PERFECT!! The progression to Dark Phoenix is happening at just the right pace. All these hesitencies and cold turkey jitters will come into play after Willow does finally go all "big bad," causes some serious damage (probably killing Tara) and has the mother-of-all-guilt-trips thereafter.

(2) Are you people all on crack? Angel completely SUCKS this year. Everyone keeps bitching about the "magic as addiction" storyline on Buffy, but I hear no one complaining about the trite, unbelievably cliched "Baby Angel" plotline on Angel. As soon as Connor was pushed out into the world, my interest in Angel sunk to an all-time low. A centuries old vampire making coochie-coochie-coo faces at a fussy baby? B-O-R-I-N-G.

Wiz, that's entirely possible, especially if he sees Buffy serving up those DMP Medleys!

grunter no, we just have something called "our own opinions".

Actually, I pretty much agree with him, in spite of the fact that I think (?) I'm having an argument with him in another thread.

Patman, :lol: The lipstick alone should send him packing.

It was probably a combo of make-up and the fluorescent lights that made Buffy looks freaky and pasty.

You're not posting in this thread, remember?

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot. -ptth-:D

We are? I can't for the life of me find it. I'd hate to miss out on an argument - especially one that allegedly involves me.

OK, I've always hated people who watch Buffy just because she's hot, and I've always hated people who assume I'm watching it just because she's hot, but how do a woman's breast shrink THAT MUCH in only a few years. I understand that she's been dressing less sluttily since they but I see no need for her to turn all Callista Flockhart on us. I find it funny how Willow used to be the ugly girl, but now, with Anya's creepy hair that changes color every week and Bulema-Buffy, Willow is the only one that looks hot at all (IMO).

Also I agree this episode sucked, except for the training video and the Soylent Green parody. I also totally called that there was nothing wrong with the burgers or the workers. When something is that obviously weird and out of place on a show like Buffy, you know it's not creepy at all.

OK I don't just watch Buffy because I think SMG is hot. I was just pointing out how much better looking she USED to be. I don't watch a show for six seasons because of the appearance of the main character. It just really struck me how bad she is beginning to look. I had people accusing me of watching the show for her when it first came out that I only liked it because of her. They didn't want to believe a show about a female vampire slayer named Buffy could be good ESPECIALLY after the movie. So please don't accuse me of watching the show because of her, I had to deal with that enough back when I was in High School.

SMG has never really had boobs "per se", she was wearing padded and push-up bras in the 1st couple of seasons on Buffy. Then she ditched them, and has been looking about the same in that department for the past few seasons. But it does appear that working on Buffy made her shed a lot of her baby fat from the 1st season of Buffy. I think she looked her best in Season 3 and 4, but lately has gotten a bit on the Calista-thin side of things.

While it ultimately doesnt matter, Sarah's figure doesnt bother me in the least. Maybe I'm just a 70's kid who grew up with Charlies Angles and Twiggy's everywhere so thats what I like, but I prefer ribs and cheekbones to her 1st season padded bras. She's probalby on one of those Hollywood yoga, grain and water routines.
