Lots of cute moments … and lots of them probably involve Oz because, well he was really cute (and of course cool because you can be both)
So here's my favourite as of today from Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered…
BUFFY: I seem to be having a slight case of nudity here. OZ: But you're not a rat. So call it an upside.
I guess this means an interaction between two members of the gang… and like yesterday's "saying" that's not something that can be easily narrowed down. As dialogue was pretty much covered yesterday my favourite scooby moment will be one that has no dialogue at all…
So…
Favorite Scooby moment is the lecture hall scene from Hush…
I must admit I'm not sure what a "saying" is … I see Hazel took "saying" to mean "quote" but it doesn't say "quote" its says "saying" and I don't know what it means…
Anyway – favourite quote it is then – of course Hazel's already picked a stack of good ones and I'm sure with some time and patience I could too – after all it's not as if there aren't plenty – the dialogue in Buffy is often beautiful and funny and sweet and smart so I'll choose one that's only one of those…
Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so… Bloody hell! Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks, oh God! I'm English!
There was a short period in time when I thought Poi Dog Pondering were great. I remember playing Wishing Like a Mountain and Thinking Like the Sea a lot… and awful lot. I bought the follow up album (Volo Volo) and am not sure I've ever even listened to it once. The time came and went. I remember seeing them at the Powerhaus around then as well… I enjoyed that to.
It's probably 15 years or more since I last listened to this and it was like listening to someone else's past. It is nothing like anything I like now and nothing like anything I was into back then either … I really can't figure it out at all. There are some nice tunes and some funny/thoughtful lyrics. But that's almost irrelevant.
I don't hate it… I just have no feelings at all for it. It's a stranger.
Maybe I'm the perfect Buffy watcher – too engrossed in the story and characters to even notice the SFX – good or bad. Maybe the mayor going all snaky was a bit rubbish but not enough for me to be bothered but it … and to be honest I had more of an issue with make-up and prosthetics (erm… shark head!) – so I think I may have to pass on this one too…
Sorry.
Oh FFS – I have to say – and maybe day 23 is a little late to say it out loud – but this meme has been pretty damned uninspiring. I'm fairly sure I could have thought up much more interesting discussion points. But this is just the worst (so far) – I mean, was I watching Buffy just waiting for folk to get off with each other – was it a romance… was that all it was?
I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it
I love living in the future – I've just watched the new Mogwai film streamed live over the Internet and watched it with 2000 other people… reading what they thought on Twitter and saying what I thought.
The stream struggled with the images and the sound will be better at some point – but the experience was lovely… and the film will be worth seeing properly with the sound turned up really really loud soon.
Blimey! Xander-centric… my first reaction was a great big "huh!?" but then I started remembering things like Go Fish and Teachers Pet and my thought obviously became "best!?" – and then I read Hazel's choice and thought… "Yeah! That was OK" so… and sorry for just leeching of Hazel but you know… best Xander-centric episode will have to be (Xander's Doppelgangland) The Replacement
I was very tempted not to go – I love Kristin Hersh to pieces and I've been seeing her live for twenty years now – and she's still right there at the very top of her game… but I'm old, and tired (really, really tired) so it was tempting to just stay at home… it's not like I'd have wasted any money on the free tickets for this surprise/secret show.
But it's been three years since I last saw her and, who knows how long I'd have to wait to see her again so I dragged my tired, tired carcass off to Islington and arrived just in time – I was pretty close to the last one they let in to the venue – which fortunately left me in a very sweet spot for the show… and what a show. Just under an hour of gems (off the top of my head) Hook in Her Head, Pearl, Gazebo Tree, Flooding, Quick, Mississippi Kite oh and many more… my tired head’s too fuzzy…
… and a stack more on flickr.
Given my answers for day 4 and day 18 (and even day 9 and day 1) there really is only one answer to this one… it could even have been there on day 2 if my mood had been different when I wrote it…
Best Willow-centric episode is, of course Doppelgangland – here're are the two Willows with appropriate "stupid question" faces on.
