BtVS: Go Fish / Cordy's costumes

Earlier in the season Xander makes a snarky comment saying that Cordelia should “wear something trashy-er” which implies that Cordy’s costume of choice is trashy – I’ll offer one episode of evidence to reject that and expose it as lazy writing… Clearly there is, however, evidence that Cordy has too many clothes if she gets [...]

 
BtVS: Killed by Death / Art appreciation

So… it seems to me that young Ryan’s art is strangely reminiscent in it’s gruesomeness of not so young Giles’ from a couple of years later… Motorhead’s Killed by Death was first released on the compilation album No Remorse and was one of the four songs on that album that killed my love for Motorhead.. [...]

 
BtVS: Passion / Oh Joss...

Oh Joss, Joss, Joss… the sick pleasure you always get from bumping off the folk we love… it never gets tired (well actually it does)… I think Jenny’s death may have been the most shocking of all (at least until Serenity!)

 
BtVS: Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered / Who died and made you Elvis?

In all my Oz-love the other lesser-Scoobie is not getting her due. Cordy is great and as well as being a good episode Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is a good Cordy episode That said my favourite line delivery still goes to Oz But you’re not a rat. So call it an upside. Here’s Ella, obv…

 
BtVS: Phases / Only he used more words than that... and a globe

OK… I know the Oz = Cool thing is getting a bit boring (and doesn’t really need to be said any more) but this is an Oz episode, this is where Oz gets to be who he really is – he mutilates animals and attempts to kill Willow and at the end we love him [...]

 
BtVS: Innocence / 5 things not to love

Lots to love about this episode but a few things not to… OK… #4 clearly shows that I was really struggling to find five reasons! This was a great episode.

 
BtVS: Surprise / 5 things to love...
 
BtVS: Bad eggs / These eggs were not so bad

It’s beginning to seem as if there are actually no bad episodes of Buffy, just ones that aren’t as good as others, or ones that take a little cooking before they taste good. Teacher’s Pet, wasn’t so bad, on second viewing Beer Bad went from rubbish to right up there with the best (well maybe [...]

 
BtVS: Ted / Want a little gravy with that?

I don’t tend to obsess about Buffy quite the way that Hazel does, so I only get to hear about which episodes other folk do or don’t enjoy based on what she says… and apparently Ted is not a particularly popular episode. While I’ll accept it’s not a classic in Ted himself they have an [...]

 

I’m sorry but religion is freaky, and the more I think about it the freakier it seems. I try to deal with it because there’re so many religious people out there and I feel I ought to respect their views… there are even people I like… a lot… who believe in all this mumbo-jumbo – [...]
