lotesseHi internet! I'm moved in, and I have wireless, and I can breathe a sign of relief now that I'm reunited with my political news and weatherbugging and fandom shiny.
Classes start in a week, and I'm petrified and excited and still think that I'm making this whole thing up, no way it's really real. But, gods thanked, I've got my student loans for the year - the uni took forever to get me the info, and I was seriously starting to panic. I'm really glad that isn't a crisis I have to deal with at the moment.
We bought Buffy Season 5 for pretty much no money at Target a couple of days ago, and we've been watching during our separation from the interwebs. And, wow, I forgot just how much red I end up seeing in "Fool for Love" and "Into the Woods." Riley Finn needs to die in a fire, and Xander isn't much better, and I get so frustrated by the narrative's tolerance for Spike - the camera seems to expect me to care about him moments after showing him murdering slayers of color, and it's just gross.
I like Ben a lot more than I'd remembered - I kind of wish, if they felt the need to give Buffy a morally ambiguous love interest, that they'd gone with him instead of Spike. His issues are unique and interesting.
Watching "I Was Made to Love You" right now, which is pretty much my favorite thing ever. Best Buffy ep, or bestest Buffy ep?

Date: 2009-08-21 02:48 pm (UTC)The flashbacks in FFL make me really happy, not least because I spend the whole Boxer Rebellion one wibbling at poor ensouled Angel who doesn't know where he belongs anymore. But I do get irritated at the way Spike as a character gets the limelight - B. rejects him and stalks off into the night, and instead of following her triumphantly the camera lingers on poor woobie Spike, cast down by the unfeeling bitch. I'm on Buffy's side here, show! She's our hero, can we please remember that?
