Wacky Watches: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Spoilers: They spend the first half of season four going "I... like Riley???" in a really confused way, and then eventually they get to "oh jesus christ this fucking guy fuuuucccckkkk riley"

 

[CaptainWacky]

Are you still listening to Dusted? The guy's kind of getting more annoying? He says "problematic" too much. He doesn't like Harmony or the BuffyBot. I don't know anymore.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I am, and I'm looking forward to them either
a) Liking S6 and S7 as much as they remember and enjoying hate-listening to it
b) hating S6 and S7 and enjoying them going "oh why did we ever think this shit was good"

 

[CaptainWacky]

The Spike attempted rape episode is going to be about three hours long...

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Lonnie's going to keep stanning for him tho!

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I can't believe those fuckers skipped over "Could use a little courage... the real kind but thanks"

 

[CaptainWacky]

I've started listening to their MCU podcast too. They really liked Betty Ross!

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I think I'll watch S6 along with them and see if they convince me to like it

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

There's plenty to like, as long as you think of it as another show or a spinoff, and not "BUFFY"

 

[CaptainWacky]

I just get sick of episode after episode of "look how shit Buffy's life is!" And sometimes "Xander's life is shit too when he acts out of character" and "Riley's life is great though!"

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

"How can Buffy afford to keep the house and support Dawn? Let's keep asking the question again and again but not quite answering it."

 

[CaptainWacky]

And Giles fucked off home.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And HEY LETS KILL TARA THAT'S DRAMATIC TOO.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I seemed to find a lot to like when I watched it the first time when I was like 15.

Hmm.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I mean

I'm not a Spuffy shipper
I hate the magic=drugs storyline

I literally can't remember a single other thing that happens in season 6. Tara gets to be rad on her own for a bit? I guess that's cool.

My last rewatch of Buffy was in 2008 or so, and I took a two-month long break in the middle of season 6 because I just couldn't stand it.

 

[The Tomtrek]

There's that one episode with the singing.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And the Trio does lots of kooky stuff until Willow says BORED NOW.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I mean yeah I remember OMWF and Tabula Rasa and the Trio and there's Amy and (ugh) Normal Again, but I don't, like, remember what Dawn and Xander and Anya's character arcs are.

But! I'm a different person than I was 8 years ago so maybe I'll like it now who knows~

 

[CaptainWacky]

Dawn's arc was that she stole things and then in the finale it suddenly became Buffy teaching her to fight?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And Xander got fat and left Anya at the altar which made her go demon again and sleep with Spike, because everyone does eventually.
