just watching the episode where angel loses his soul on 4music. there is that annoying whedon trope where the baddy gets right up in the face of the goody, kisses them and runs away, faith does it at one point, it happened in the fray comic. anyway, he has done it twice in this episode first with spike and then buffy. just a stray noticing
have been alternating between Malcolm in the Middle and Buffy during lockdown in a regression to my teenage years
itâs amazing how well MITM stands up (possibly even better than when I first saw it 15 years ago or so)
BuffyâŚnot so much. I am only halfway through the 2nd season but yeah
MITM>>>>>>>>>>>Buffy
hits its stride in season 3
Agreed, except for the episode I watched today where Hal is sneaking fatty foods into Loisâs diet as she gets distressed at getting bigger and bigger⌠And the payoff is that Hal just really likes fat arses

Oh yeah that sub plot is absolutely terrible
Probably one of the only ones which they got completely wrong (also feels quite out of character with the show)

Urgh just had a thought - series 9/comics spoilers itâs widely acknowledged that Xander is Joss Whedonâs self insert character. I was uncomfortable about the fact that Xander ends up getting together with Dawn and now with Michelleâs revelations about how inappropriate he was on set itâs taken on a whole new layer of ick.
Weâve been doing this (along with Taskmaster, which weâd somehow missed first time around) and itâs been great. Watching Buffy now is kind of like watching Darkplace, so much of it is so ridiculous and hammily done, but in a massively enjoyable way. MITM though, thatâs just straight up great (occasional clanger aside). The traffic jam one early in S2 where Lois completely loses her shit is amazing. Sheâs such a great actor.

actually, considering what she said I think âinappropriateâ is putting it way too mildly
