- it's as I suspected: now that I'm (sort of) an adult I relate much more to Buffy. I still adore Willow but I feel like I outgrew some of the things I recognised in her (which wasn't much to begin with, I've never been a meek exemplary student with a preference for fluffy pink sweaters)
- Some of the feminist and racial missteps are more disturbing than I recall, although maybe that's partly due to knowing about the Whedon scandal
- Faith <3<3<3
all she wanted was a cute blonde slayer gf and she deserved better and of course she did some very wrong things and I don't care
- To me, Helpless is still the hardest episode to watch in the first half of the series
- Now that I'm more invested in Buffy and her feelings I'm less annoyed by her relationship with Angel, but only for her sake. David Boreanaz' acting really doesn't help.
- I still think Dawn is great and an asset to the series and I will die on this hill
- If the Initiative plot didn't suck so much season 4 would be incredible. Also, the roommate drama episode hit different after my housemate troubles, and Hush is eerily reminiscent of the corona situation in some ways
I swear to god he's way better in Angel. He doesn't have to be a broody Twilight fop who only exists to be a heart throb for teenage girls and is actually pretty great.

Do you know Veronica Mars? I was told it has something to do with JW, maybe he produced it or something like that. That's a fun show.

This Old House/Ask This Old House on Pluto.

I've had it on just about every night for months and I've circled back around twice so far. They only have license for a few seasons, so it's a bit limited in that sense. One thing I did miss and found out just a few days ago is that Roger Cook has Parkinsons and had to bow out. They did a really touching ending on an episode to let the viewers know what was happening and I must have missed it. Broke my heart.

Here's to you, Rodjah.

I haven't given Veronic Mars a fair chance. I watched one episode, decided it was a Buffy rip off, and left it at that. I've heard good things though

Buffy was a Melrose Place ripoff with vampires, so...

Just started watching Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics. First episode, the birth of Marvel. I'm in hog's Heaven.

I loved Veronica Mars. Fell in love with Kristen Bell there.

Bored in quarantine so decided to give Veep a shot. 5 episodes in, I dunno, just another zany comedy about the White house. Passes the time I guess. :/

Gonna have to take a gander at this one. I have a few really old ones (like Strange Tails #5), as does my brother. He's got all of mine in his collection, which is worth a lot right now, well into six figures. It'll be nice to see how it all came to be. I know some of the history but I'm all for filling in the blank spots.
