Because the rate at which my sister watches Buffy? Frighteningly fast. And unlike me, she actually has a conscience to get her out of bed in the mornings, so where my staying up extremely late during my worst Angel and Buffy addictions last spring only messed up my day rythm, her doing the same messes [...]

This tag belongs to posts where the TV-show Buffy The Vampire Slayer is mentioned. As I believe is said before somewhere, I’m a recent convert to Whedonism.
Creepy! — AS5×4 Hell Bound
Wow. This was awesome. It had all the stuff I love, and also some of the stuff I’m not really that keen on, but can appreciate if it’s not too much of it.
First of all, this was an impressively tightly executed episode. None of the scenes felt redundant, none of them were ones I wished [...]
My protegé seemingly has a good head on him…
… because his views on the first season of Buffy pretty much mirrors my own.
The Sounds of February — An Attempted Subjective Buffy Theme
Okay, as the theme for this month’s CD, I’ve chosen “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. I wll, in other words, try to make a CD on which all of the songs remind me of this awesomest of all awesome shows. Be it that they remind me of the show in general, a specific episode or scene [...]
Puppy Love — AS4×15 Orpheus
This episode has it all. Angel looking like Meat Loaf in “Roadie”. Faith smacking Connor around. Evil Cordelia manipulting and magicking. Wesley being cool. Great character interaction (especially with Willow and Faith and whoever they’re interacting with at any given time) and moments. Sunnydale humour (which this episode really distinguishes from the LA humour; SD [...]
“Always leave them wanting more, kiddo. That’s the rule” — AS4×6 Spin The Bottle
At first I thought this episode was just fun, fun, fun. And granted, most of the time it was, what with all the sitar, and the mushroom tripping, the adolescence jokes, Angel’s antics, and everything else. (Liam: The English had it coming, I’m rooting for the slave.)
But at the same time, this is the first [...]
Okay, I realise now that I might have been kinda exaggerating about the relative greatness of VM2×22 — BS7×22 Chosen
Sigh. In my last post, I claimed that VM2×22 could rival BS5×22 and stuff like that in level of awesomity. Obviously, I forgot just how much I love BS7×22.
Because this episode is filled with all that good stuff I adore. There’s that scene in the high school hallway when the Scoobies talk about what they [...]
Couple o’ updates more
1. I just wrote a new page, entitled “Buffysodes”, on which I’ve put links to all my quasi reviews of Buffysodes. In time, it might be renamed to just “’sodes” or something, and have links to more reviews, but for now this is all there is. It’s primarily written as a service to my sister, [...]
Showing/telling issues? — BS3×6 Band Candy
(At least I think it’s episode 6…)
I have previously commented on how much better season one of ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is, compared to the way I remember it. The same is true for season two, which may have a majority (I’m open for arguments against this, though) episodes with relatively weak plots, but overall [...]
I gotta get my arse down to a well stocked magazine shop some day in the not too distant future…
… because this thing? Just gotta have it, for some reason…
Summary of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, season 1
It’s only been one week since I received the Angel and Buffy DVD sets from Amazon, and I’ve already watched the first season of Buffy, so yay me! Or, to be more specific, yay my sister, because if it hadn’t been for her, it’d probably be a while before I started watching the series again.
Anyway, [...]
Poor Spike… — BS5×14 Crush
Ah, I love it when writers manage to divide my sympathy between two opposing characters or factions. It’s just so amazingly wonderful when all sympathy isn’t placed with one part while the other is demonised. Of course, in an ideal world, this would have been how all conflicts were described in every form of media, [...]
Wow, a Spikysode! :o — BS5×7 Fool For Love
Great episode, too. On one hand, you have a really serious and touching plotline in which Buffy seeks the answer to how past Slayers have died, a quest which ends up with her spending an evening with Spike. (And Loki: The scene where he’s picking up the money Buffy threw at him is nothing compared [...]
Wow, how come I didn’t remember this as one of the best Buffysodes ever? — BS3×10 Amends
Wow. Just wow.
This, now this is one prime example on the awesome continuity of the Buffyverse. Here, in a relatively anonymous, stand-alone episode, which still manages to be pivotal to the ‘verse, The First Evil is introduced, and Its modi operandi is established. So, we forget about It for a couple of years, maybe even [...]
Oh, and just by the by…
My new desktop background:
After having used a minimalist anarchism-slogan-and-logo as a background for close to two years, and a few weeks with the awesome black-skull-and-bones poster to Cutthroat Island”, I decided to use a nice Whedony image for a while. And seeing as I try to go for the overall black theme, while at the [...]
Beast within — AS2×22 There’s No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
My last reaction, as Angel found Willow in the hotel lobby: They aired this back to back with the last episode of Buffy’s season 5? o.O
Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved this episode; it’s perhaps the best one of all the Pylea episodes, with at least three great character moments (Angel’s resiting the demon; [...]
Quote-o-rama (not the one married to Sita)
I just noticed that I’ve got to buy a new A5 notepad tomorrow, as my old one — which I’ve had for well over a year — is filled with Buffisic and Angelic quotes.
So yay for you who regularly check out the new posts I make in the quote thread at tidshjulet.net, for soon, I’ll [...]
Drool…
When I get the start-of-semester study loan next January, this is what I’ll use it on. And the fact that it costs more than half a month’s rent be damned.
And then, when I can afford it, this one‘ll be bought.
After all, even though BS1-7 costs NOK 1700 and AS1-5 costs NOK 1250, I’ve gotta have [...]
Finally! The Angel version of The Zeppo! :D — AS2×6 Guise Will Be Guise
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 3, episode 13: Xander Harris has a rough night while the rest of the Scoobies save the world.
Angel, season 2, episode 6: Wesley Windham-Pryce has a rough night while Angel is distracted.
This may seem like an unnecessary hang-up, seeing as this is the last time in about one day that [...]
Reformation — AS1×19 Sanctuary
Wow, another blast of an episode.
Everything about it was brilliant — the characters all had their moments (Angel: telling off Buffy; Faith: turning herself in; Cordelia: telling off Angel; Wesley: his dsiplay of loyalty to Angel; Lindsey: his speech to Lilah and that idiot lawyer about them fubling outside of the law, when they are, [...]
