timepiececlockDamn my shit, is there anything better than acoustic Foo Fighters? I love 104.9. I’d like to marry all their DJs and stuff. Plus, they played "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" while i was driving earlier. I appreciate a sense of humor.
Because I admire![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kimberly_a and spikespeigel so, I’m going to do my own Humorous Buffy Episode Recaps.
Recap
"Dirty Girls"... [sarcasm] Isn’t that just the cleverest little way to tie together mangled scripture of evil preacher boy and Faith’s return and Buffy’s history of fucking Spike all together?[/sarcasm]
-Whheeee! It’s Faith on Previouslys! And they were right, her nose is different. Was better.
-Ahhh! Creepy religious guy. Good acting, bad acting, they are always so… creepy.
-Yeah, grab the wheel you—dammit! You tried though, good for you.
-...No—burning! Ouch! ::says one who habitually burns herself in kitchen, though admittedly never on the neck with a cigarette lighter.::
-It’s Faith! The Sunnydale Press headline says:
Bad Slayer Makes Triumphant Comeback.
-Ho yeah, Faith’s got the best lines. Hospitals suck. They totally should have warned her. Stupid self-involved Scoobies. Besides, Faith’s technically “the real Slayer.”
-Kinky potentials girls. ANVIL! ANVIL! Dirtyness! Dirtyness and girls!
-Heh. The dubious “leg cramp” makes a reappearance! I think Xander needs some…ice.
-Written by Drew Goddard. Another Ultimate Drew episode. ::blesses the VCR remote, snuggles into couch::
-Spike/Faith fighting! UD gives us S/F fighting! With good banter! Someone just shoot me right now so I can die happy.
-Gonna have to rewatch this.. gonna have to rewatch this!
Ah, he’s trying to make her stop peacefully. It’s the little things.
-"Stop HITTING ME!" Jeez… did anyone flash back to season 6 right there? I guess Spike’s had enough of being arbitrarily beat by Slayers. Good.
-Buffy punched Faith for Spike! Didn’t think it possible in this episode, but I just got even happier, same scene!
-"NOT like Angel!"
"Sort of." ^_^
-::grin:: Angel dissing.
-Spike chatting up Faith by the stairs post- glare!fest. I like.
-Heh. Faith the Vulcan Slayer. I love me my storyteller!Andrew.
-Grrr. Ribbing on Faith like that isn’t cool. I can see he recovered fast from his "I’m a guilty murdering SOB who’s probably going to die" phase.
-Hey, it’s the Cantonese girl! I liked her.
-OMG! Nakedness! With sheets. Bad sheets! MOVE SHEETS! VAMINOS!
-Faith, in tight shirt. Spike, naked. Dude, did they do this scene for anything EXCEPT eye candy, for both sexes? Do I care? Gimme an "N" Gimme an "O"... NO!
-Yeah, it’s all about the chains.
-::still staring at JM in bliss::
-Babe, if you’d start smiling like that when Buffy’s actually there, you wouldn’t have to try to woo her, she’d be begging you to take her back.
- Ah, cig sharing, how sweet.
-Hey, continuity! From one of my favorite scenes. The bronze sexy tease; that’s one thread I’m glad wasn’t totally handled off-screen.
-[paraphrase]"You really have been away a long time." Does that make it canon that Buffy talked dirty during sex?
- "Not as of late." Damn, there goes our Sculdering theory!
- Smile Naked!JM, smile again, for me! Oh, and they look so cute together. I’d totally ship Faith/Spike if I didn’t think he was better suited to Buffy and she was so twistedly suited to Wes.
- Fuck, this is gonna start a whole new fanfic cliche plot of Bad Spuffy writers using Faith as a skanky plot device to have Spike be tempted then make the noble decision to be true to his unrequited love and make Buffy come to her senses, isn't it? Please, please if someone writes this, don't make Fatih a cheap plot device. I beg it of you; she's too cool, and deserves better.
- The camera!person is also in love with Spike. Who directed this episode? It shows.
-Stupid unhottie Principal. The jerk could keep her on the friggin’ payroll. She won’t be doing much Missioning if her fem!minions starve and the bank appropriates her house.
-Fired again! :snicker: Ok, that time it was funny.
-Heh. Oh no, Mummy Buffy caught us smoking and doing nasty talk in the basement!
- He jerked a bit but didn’t rush to defensive. Good. Show the Buffster you can talk to whoever you want to because you don’t go at her every whim anymore.
- C’mon Buff, a little more jealousy than one little look would be nice. Do you have to play it cool just because you know that no one is a threat to you in his eyes?
- How can you stand there coolly immune to the nakedness!! Sheesh woman, ARE YOU FEMALE OR NOT?!
-Play-acting evil murderous games for practice. That’s kind of funny, as concepts go. And he looks so excited; it’s almost cute. Bad hair, though.
- First Evil, if you’re going to be Buffy, please don’t be the plastic Barbie Doll version. Shiny pink lip-gloss is so beneath your semi-majestic evilness. It’s beneath everyone, really.
-::all smiles:: Xander’s speechifying. And he’s so much better at it than Buffy.
- Andrew’s crying... he’s so sweet and overemotional.
ACK! Buffy’s speechifying! Run for the hills!
-Heh. Kennedy’s not in the Scooby meeting. Thank god. I’m almost tempted to convert for that little gift alone.
-"You’re my best weapon." Wait, I thought that was Spike? And isn’t Faith your best after you? You sure are fickle with your favoritism.
-Yeah, stomach it Giles. Take your pain. But good for you anyway for pointing out that it could be a trap and sticking to your opinion.
-Faith & Buffy patrolling. God character moments. Ultimate Dru writes Faith well.
- And Buffy, it’s nice that she asked if Angel was all right; she still cares of course. Possibly more than Angel seemed to. Poor girl, he was so wrong for you. Now let us never speak of him again.
-Blood and guts.
-Now this is some of that "horror and bloodshed" I’ve been waiting for since BY. When does something come up from beneath and eat someone? I want devouring. Give us a good devouring.
-Bringers get beat up.
-Buffy gets beat up.
-Spike gets beat up. Wet!Spike! Wine-covered wet!Spike!
-One potential down, only 4, 999 to go.
-Ouch! That wrist thing, that he just did to Rona, and Faith. That’s an Aikido thing. I used to be able to do that, before I stopped taking lessons. Hurts. Like. The. Dickens. I’m getting sympathy aches as I watch. We’re talking serious pain, have you on your knees in half a second, flat. Faith wasn’t just crawling after him for the joy of it.
-Kick him, kick him in the shins! Who cares if he’s clergy; I kicked a teacher once, you can do it!
-Fuck it! ::takes on screaming tortured Methos voice:: "[He] killed Molly! I liked Molly!"
-Hey, is Spike still wet? He doesn’t look wet anymore. Gotta go back and check.
-XANDER! XANDER! XANDER!
-Yeah, stop him Spike! Bad, bad, BAD!
-::remembers something, furiously trying to recall:: Dammit, where was that?! I know I wrote something somewhere once that Xander should lose a finger or get horribly scarred or wear an eyepatch for the cause! I know I did, where is it?!
-You know, it’s really about time someone among the Scoobies gets a serious long-lasting injury. It’s either they die drastically or they heal perfectly… we need to see more of the realistic wounds like this, that you can’t brush off and don’t heal.
-Buffy walks down that one lonely road in the middle of a quiet nighttime Sunnydale. You know the road.
-Caleb (evil!priesty!Mal)’s voice rings out in a voice-over, babbling about evils of women, and the one woman in particular.
- Thank fucking god[dard], someone finally starts referring to Buffy as a "woman" instead of "girl."
-UPN promo. BotN. Stupid UPN. Why can’t you rerun Showtime or First Date?
A brief thought:
I’ve sympathized a lot with Buffy this episode. These last episodes have reminded me of Weight of the World. She truly doesn’t know what to do to win this fight.
She’s hard and aggressive…she alienates the people she needs.
She’s too soft… people she decides to trust and turn out to have secret agendas that compromise her own.
She listens to her mentor…he betrays her.
She doesn’t listen and strikes out on her own…she makes mistakes and people die.
Yeah, sucks to be Buffy right now.
Because I admire

Date: 2003-04-16 09:13 pm (UTC)Okay, that had me laughing. Love it. Signs reference, which is a beautiful movie and my sister was screencapping that scene the other day.
-Fuck it! ::takes on screaming tortured Methos voice:: "[He] killed Molly! I liked Molly!"
Oh yeah. I hear you. Of all the potentials they could have killed. Was very annoyed with that turn of events, why couldn't have been Kennedy?
Re:
Date: 2003-04-17 11:07 am (UTC):grin: I wasn't sure if anyone would pick up on that. I watched the movie last weekend, and I loved the part where he's talking to the tv, and he speaks in Spanish because they're mexican children, which highlights the absurdity of him talking to the TV in the first place.
I'd love to see some screencaps of that; tell me when they're up. :)
Of all the potentials they could have killed.
Vi. Vi is six times more annoying than Kennedy. My favorites were Rona, Molly, and Amanda and Chao Ahn. Molly's dead, but I don't think the first one to die was Chao Ahn, was it? Didn't look like her, and she was a late-comer anyway. I liked Molly... she said cute things that were sweet and amusing but not stupid.
