Sleepy Hollow - 1.02 - Blood Moon - Favorite Scene - Poll






****Bonus poll - Since we did best quote last week, I thought we would spice things up and look at which mysteries surrounding Sleepy Hollow characters you are most intrigued by. Obviously this is not a comprehensive list (especially since I am doing it in the wee hours of the morning) so please let me know what I missed in the comments below as well as your overall thoughts on the second episode.

Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - Semifinals - Poll



We're down to the Final Four, after last round gave us so big surprises. The mighty "family business" quote was knocked out by the only speech still left in the contest, Dean asking what to do over Sam's corpse. That positions the speech as a favorite to win the whole thing, given that it beat the #1 nominated and #1 voted for quote so far. (Of course it has to beat the big brother slogan today to do so, which should be tough.) Other than that, all other speeches also left the contest. The sole short quote that lost was "I lost my shoe," which garnered 47% of the vote. Today you decide which 2 quotes make it to the finals. Surprisingly it is a very easy decision for me today, now that my absolute favorites have been voted out. Hope it is easy for you too. Happy voting!

Contest Results So Far








Quotes Too Long for Poll:

Dean: "You know when we were little, I mean you couldn't have been more than 5, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why do we always have to move around? Where'd dad go? I mean he'd take off for days at a time. I remember I begged you, "Quit asking Sammy. Man you don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid just for a little while longer. I was trying to protect you, keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility you know. It's like I had one job…I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it…and for that I'm sorry. I guess that's what I do. I let down the people I love. I let dad down and now I guess I'm just supposed to let you down too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy…gah, what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?" (AHBL2)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 1.11 - Out of Mind, Out of Sight - Roundtable Review



Welcome back to the weekly Buffy Roundtable. This week we review Out of Mind, Out of Sight where Joss Whedon puts an interesting spin on the idea of loneliness and feeling invisible in the crowd. While this one had some character leaps and questionable physics, it also focuses more on Cordelia and Buffy and the bonds between them. For me, it was the first time I felt any sympathy for Cordelia and it made her less of a caricature by the end, rounding out an otherwise flat character. John felt that both Cordelia and Buffy were out of character to hyperbolize the metaphor. Please continue the conversation in the comments below.

Spoiler Warning - Although we discuss specific episodes in these roundtables, all episodes of Buffy and Angel are fair game. There may be spoilers ahead for those who have not watched both series in their entirety.

Participants - John and Dahne


Overall:

John - Where shall we begin?
Dahne - So overall how do you feel about this episode? I like it as a standalone.
John - I agree. It had some big structural flaws that made it both better and worse than expected (which I'll explain in a second), but it was largely enjoyable.
Dahne - Which structural flaws are you talking about?
John - Basically, the episode did two things that kind of irked me. A) The writer changed the characters - or perhaps emphasized certain traits a little more than usual, like Cordy's selfishness and Buffy's potential loneliness - in order to B) make giant super obvious metaphors. It was bad because obvious metaphors and characters acting differently bothers me, but I liked it because it did some fantastic humanization for Cordelia.
Dahne - I was a big fan of them spotlighting Cordelia and her own loneliness so that didn't bother me in this. I thought it showed growth in Cordelia's character which had been pretty standard mean girl up to this point. I think we've had hints of Buffy feeling alienated from others before.
John - I suppose. Definitely I enjoyed the character growth. I just spent the first twenty minutes slightly more horrified with her than usual lol.
Dahne - Ah, I remember people like that from high school (minus the death is all about me part of course) so it wasn't quite as big a stretch for me when it first aired. For me it was more the physics side of the episode that makes some parts hard for me, although the metaphor there is stellar.
John - Hahaha, I mean, I don't know how I feel about very obvious metaphors. I liked how some of it worked out - for example, how Marcie thought she could count on Buffy, but watching her and Cordelia bond made her think Buffy was "one of them" - but a lot of it was just over-the-top obvious. For example, as you said the whole "This is all about me... me me me!" line was unnecessary. And the episode was called Invisible Girl. About an Invisible Girl. Made Invisible by virtue of the word's figurative meaning.
Dahne - For me, all of Marcie was over the top and I completely agree about the episode NOT being subtle. I think that is somewhat typical of season 1. I also wasn't a fan of the first "government is evil" episode. That came back to play with the corrupt mayor and all of season 4.
John - Yeah I didn't see that twist coming AT ALL! What a weird ending. Don't think I liked it.


High school as Hell:

John - That being said, I know how much you like monster-as-metaphor, so do you want to discuss that some more? Just, like, your take on what they were talking about.
Dahne - I liked the whole lonely in a crowd and the trials of both being popular and not popular better. Cordelia's speech and Buffy understanding gave them both more depth as characters.
John - Yeah, definitely. Despite its obviousness - ohey, remember when Xander and Willow always reference inside jokes in front of Buffy and neglect to invite her over for dinner - I really enjoyed how it kind of got at the heart of feeling alone both within and without a crowd. (Sorry, I meant that ohey in the context of the rest of the first season. Given that they have never done that sort of thing).
Dahne - I liked that scene, especially because it reminded me of how long Xander and Willow were friends, something that sometimes I forget in other episodes.
John - Yeah, that's a fair point too. Why hadn't they been doing that before this episode?
Dahne - That's a great question. They do sometimes talk about inside jokes around Buffy but it didn't come off as completely excluding her like it did here.


Favorite Scenes/Moments:

Dahne - So what were your favorite parts of this episode?
John - I guess part of the fun of this episode is that we really linger on Buffy and Cordelia's reactions to things. Maybe we can treat these hyperbolic versions of the characters as not occurring in reality, but rather, us being able to see how they perceive the world. They physically had to show us because how else would that be communicated on TV. I'd be happy with that interpretation and would be more charitable as a whole towards the episode lol.
Dahne - I guess I don't find them to be so hyperbolic that it takes me out of the episode so I am good with their reactions. The only one truly over the top for me is Marcie.
John - Fair enough. Okay, so, my favourite part of the episode was when Giles and Angel bonded :). Although the overt metaphors struck again with the whole I CAN'T SEE ME IN THE MIRROR thing, but it was fun to watch Giles get so excited about a long-lost book.
Dahne - I have the Angel and Giles part as one of my favorites too. I like that both of them got extra time this episode.
John - We never really see Giles in his own space doing his own thing. We only ever really see him interacting with - or trying to save - the kids. It's nice to see him bond with other adult people.
Dahne - Plus like you said, he was excited about it. He's usually more calm and whenever he isn't, the kids make fun of him about it.
John - True. Then they bonded about how invisible teenagers kind of wasn't their thing.
Dahne - Ha! Not sure invisible teens are anyone's thing. I also like that Angel rescues them in the end although the plot seemed straight from Hocus Pocus.
John - Lol, agreed.
Dahne - I thought that the whole "someone watching you for months" premise gave the episode a great creepy vibe. I also liked that for as crazy as Marcy was, she could be smart as well.
John - Yeah, I thought that Marcie, though creepy, was excellent in the climactic scene where she almost scars Cordelia.
Dahne - I also liked the parallel of the teacher talking about "active listening" and then Buffy used it at the end to defeat Marcy.
John - Yeah, this episode was somehow both not subtle at all and yet creative in its ability to make those sorts of connections.
Dahne - Two small moments I liked were the looks they gave Xander when he says it might be a "vampire bat." That pun was so bad I laugh every time. I also loved Giles giving Xander the teacher look when he goes to put his feet on the table.
John - I enjoyed those moments as well :).


Cordelia Confusion:

Dahne - Plus Cordelia actually thanks the Scooby gang and takes that step towards being a member of it.
John - I can't remember, had Cordelia seen vampires before? And the Scooby gang in action?
Dahne - Does Cordelia see vampires in this one? For some reason I thought that was next episode.
John - Naw not this episode. To be more precise, has Cordelia seen them deal with monsters of any kind? I feel like she has been part of some Scooby adventures and just feigns, or believes for the sake of her sanity, that nothing unexplainable happened. But I can't remember. Lol, only 11 episodes in to the series...
Dahne - As for the Scooby gang, I am not sure she knew exactly what they do but she knew enough to reach out to Buffy, which showed she was smarter than originally portrayed to me. She saw Buffy and Luke so I guess that counts as seeing a vampire although she didn't think they were vampires.
John - Right, and pretty much everyone at the Bronze just explained that away with steroids or something.
Dahne - I can't think of another time when she specifically witnessed an event but she was there in the aftermath of a few. Hmm, now I am going to have to go over my notes from the previous episodes.


Favorite Lines:

Dahne - So did you have any favorite lines?
John - I really enjoyed when Cordelia said: "Being this popular is not just my right, but my responsibility." (sighs) Also, this line made me smile just because it exemplifies what I love about Whedonesque writing: Xander: "So, Giles said you'd be here. Why are you being here?" You?
Dahne - Ha! I loved that everyone got a snarky gem in this episode, even Willow. Cordelia: "Buffy, I…I know we've had our differences with you being so weird and all and hanging out with these total losers. Well anyway, despite all of that, I know that you share this feeling that we have for each other deep down." Willow: "Nausea?" I also Xander's "duh" voice in this one: Willow: "Why is Marcy doing this?" Giles: "The loneliness, the constant exile…she's…she has gone mad." Xander: "You think." We also get the classic - Giles: "A vampire in love with the Slayer. It's rather poetic in a maudlin sort of way."
John - Yeah, this episode has some excellent writing. I don't even remember the context of this, but apparently it was my other favourite? Buffy: "Gee, it's fun that we're speaking in tongues."
Dahne - I have that one too. It's when Xander and Willow are talking about Cordelia and Buffy feels left out.
John - Oh right! ALSO: Xander: "What, so there's homework now? When did that happen?" Buffy: "It's all part of the glamorous world of vampire slayage." Okay I am done now lol
Dahne - I have that Xander quote as well. In fact, apart from the season finale, I think I have more favorite quotes in this one than any of the other season episodes. Another great parallel of lines were: Giles: "0nce again I teeter on the precipice of the generation gap." and Buffy: "I think I speak for everyone here when I say huh?"
John - I missed that generation gap one! That's the best!


Snyder:

Dahne - Snyder made me laugh with: "What are you? Ghouls? They are no dead students here…this week." Only in Sunnydale.
John - Me too! Buffy: "Mitch wanted me to get his comb. He likes his comb." Snyder: "I don't think Mitch needs his comb right now. I think Mitch needs medical attention."
Dahne - Bwah! That Snyder quote was awesome, especially in the deadpan delivery. Principal Snyder was evil but funny. One of my favorite Snyder moments is when he is saying that he hates kids and Giles questions why he is a principal then.
John - Definitely one of my favourite recurring characters. Best deadpan ever.
Dahne - I loved Principal Snyder. I know most people hated him but he could turn a phrase like no one's business and screw over Buffy without a second thought.
John - Did most people hate him? I thought it was a love to hate kind of deal. I don't even love to hate him, I think he's fantastic.
Dahne - Yeah, love to hate is probably a better term. I thought he was fantastic too. I love how he was the complete opposite of Flutie and yet they both ended up screwed over by the Hellmouth.
John - Oh Flutie. I'm glad he went so early so we could have a Snyder, but having a Flutie was pretty fun too.
Dahne - I loved both of them. I would have liked Flutie to stay a bit longer, but Snyder was such a brilliant move you can't fault them for hastening Flutie's death.


Impact/Social Issues:

Dahne - So any impact from this episode on the series? For me it was confirmation that vampires don't breath that became important in the finale. Also bringing Cordelia more into the fold.
John - Oh, I didn't even notice the breathing thing! I need to pay better attention while I scribble down my notes. Yeah, I think the biggest impact was the slight humanization of Cordelia.
Dahne - Angel mentions it when he rescues them from the gas.
John - So, in other realms of thought, the only thing I thought was problematic about this episode - other than most of what Cordy says, but we know it's supposed to be problematic - was Xander's whole dream of invisibly "[protecting] the girls locker room". Not because he makes the comment, but because no one reacts. I guess it's cool that no one laughs, but probably he should have been called out. At least by Giles or something.
Dahne - I think the tight sweater comment about the "active listening" teacher was a little much too. Although when this first aired, neither comment bothered me that I can recall. Shows how culture has been changing since Buffy aired.
John - Crap. I missed that comment too. What happened there? And yeah, it's cool to see that sort of change actually occur :).
Dahne - Apparently Xander didn't remember the active listening demonstration he did with his teacher because he was so enraptured with her tight sweater.
John - Ohhhhh. Okay.
Dahne - My other issue is Buffy going out in that outfit and Joyce not saying anything. What was that? Both Buffy and Cordelia wear some things that just weren't appropriate.
John - Right. I don't know where I fall on policing dress. I suppose there's something to be said for the need to police minors at the very least.


Wrap-up:

John - Anyway, unfortunately, I must leave now :(. It looks like this episode gave us LOTS to talk about though.
Dahne - So any last thoughts?
John - Naw, I said my piece. It was a strong standalone episode with a few quirks.
Dahne - This episode has grown on me each time I've rewatched it. I have some nitpicks but for the most part I like the character growth.

Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - Round 6 - Poll



At the beginning of hiatus, we started with 128 quotes that made it into the Ultimate Quote Contest out of hundreds nominated. Now we are down to 8. Some great quotes have fallen out and I'm afraid it only gets tougher this round. In the last round, my beloved "clowns kill" and "fudgin" bit it, but some of the longer quotes were toppled too. Nothing was really close but the brothers speaking in tandom in Mystery Spot did grab 46% of the vote, while "fudgin" received 41%. Today the best of the best go against each other, including the hardest choice of the whole contest for me. Happy voting!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 1.10 - Nightmares - Roundtable Review

Welcome to the weekly Buffy roundtable review. This week Robin had some computer difficulties which made the review shorter than normal, so I asked Blaire Knight-Graves, Director of Social Media and Associate Editor of We Love TV More and of course Buffy aficionado, to join me for a second review. Below will be both. Sorry for any repetitiveness from my side but I think you will find both sessions interesting. As always, please continue the conversation in the comments below. I would love to hear what you thought of Nightmares too.

Participants - Blaire, Robin, and Dahne

Spoiler Warning - Although we discuss specific episodes in these roundtables, all episodes of Buffy and Angel are fair game. There may be spoilers ahead for those who have not watched both series in their entirety.


Review with Robin and Dahne

Favorites:

Robin: Did you have a favorite part for this episode?
Dahne: I really like this episode so there is a lot I like, but probably the scene where Giles sees Buffy's grave, Xander facing his fear and punching out the clown, and Buffy as a vampire were the highlights. What about you?
Robin: I particularly like Buffy as a vampire too, because even if it's not mentioned again, it sets up that anything could happen on the show. It was a great shock.
Dahne: For me it set up one of the 2 dichotomies of the show. Human Buffy was afraid of losing her dad's love, while Supernatural Buffy was afraid to become what she hunted.
Robin: It was a good dichotomy!
Dahne: Another thing I liked about this episode was Joyce trying to comfort Buffy about her nightmares.
Robin: That was good.
Dahne: I also liked learning about the Scooby Gang's fears, both mundane and huge. It helped flesh out the characters better.
Robin: Always good to have character development!
Dahne: I do wish that Cordelia's was more revealing though. I'm not sure they knew what to make of Cordelia in season 1.
Robin: I wasn't sure what to make of Cordelia until she switched to Angel.
Dahne: I felt more in tune with Cordelia after Out of Sight, Out of Mind but the character really came alive in the Halloween episode for me. I did think it was interesting that Buffy had nightmares of being buried alive and then she wakes up in that coffin in season 6.
Robin: That is a good connection! Also, how terrified she was waking up in season six. That to me was more disturbing than her waking up underground. SMG really made me feel it.
Dahne: It was brilliant acting. Plus I think everyone has a primal fear of being buried alive so it played well on that.
Robin: True. I don't think most people would necessarily realize that fear until it happened, but true.


Hank Summers:

Dahne: Oh and Hank Summers. Buffy worrying about her dad and then him coming through in the end was really touching.
Robin: This was the one and only time that Buffy's dad is seen. Do you think that's because they were trying to set up Giles as her surrogate father or more that it fell between the cracks in terms of writing or why do you think we never see him again?
Dahne: Buffy's dad is also seen in the season 2 premiere. He bought Buffy a lot of shoes. Originally I thought they wanted to focus on Sunnydale and so her dad didn't fit in, but then came The Body and I think they just couldn't go there.
Robin: Completely forgot about all the shoes in LA. Why do you think they couldn't go there? I mean he would have had a teenage daughter, Dawn, as well as Buffy to potentially support. Or even a funeral scene with him would have been nice.
Dahne: The whole idea for killing Joyce off was that Buffy would have to step up and take on the adult world alone. Having her dad there would have lessened the dynamic they were going for. Personally I think that dynamic was a mistake as a whole. Buffy in fast food was not my idea of a win, but there is no denying the harsh emotional impact of The Body.
Robin: True. Maybe they could have mentioned that he moved to a different continent or that Buffy chose not to tell him for some reason though. So true. There is no denying the impact of The Body.


Comparing Seasons:

Dahne: I am not sure if he was mentioned shortly after The Body or not. I want to say Dawn mentions him but I could be mistaken, given that I am no fan of that season at all so I have not rewatched it in ages.
Robin: Season five is not my favorite either. (It was better than four though...)
Dahne: I'd say it's better than six though. :-)
Robin: I liked six!
Dahne: Six is one of my least favorite seasons of any show ever.
Robin: Really? Was it because six was so dark in a not usually that dark show?
Dahne: Dawn, chipped Spike, Buffy's depression, witchy Willow - it all sucked. I hated most of the characters that season and ended up dropping the entire show after the silly yellow crayon.
Robin: The yellow crayon saving the whole world was more than a little far fetched. (and despite my dislike of four, seven is my least favorite because I found at least half of it unwatchable.)
Dahne: Seven took Dawn-like characters to an even higher level so I get where you are coming from. Season 6 was the worst for me and then way behind that, season 5. For me the best of Buffy is seasons 1-3, with season 2 as one of the best TV seasons I've ever seen.
Robin: 2 was amazing. Probably my favorite since it has most of my favorite episodes in it
Dahne: Becoming part 2 is still the episode I compare all other episodes too, but getting back to this episode, what are some of your favorite lines?


Favorite Lines:

Robin: I didn't have any particular lines I liked more than the others but I did think it was cute when Xander mentioned he would mind if a Nazi walked over his face (instead of a spider) and then a swastika becoming part of his nightmare.
Dahne: I loved: 1. Xander: "I'm not worried. If there's something bad out there, we'll find, you'll slay, we'll party."
2. Buffy: "Scary. I'll tell you something though, there are a lot scarier things than you….and I'm one of them." This one always makes me laugh too - Xander: "Wendell was in Cordelia's light." Wendell: "I'm so ashamed." Willow: "Why is she so Evita-like?" Buffy: "I think it's the hair."
Robin: That is a good exchange.


Least Favorites:


Robin: Least favorite part?
Dahne: Definitely the spiders. I am totally with Willow on that one. I also thought the Master was particularly cheesy here.
Robin: The Master was always a super cheesy character. (Another good thing they did away with the last remnants of him in s2)
Dahne: I wasn't sorry to see the Master go either. Other smaller negatives for me were Xander and his arachnids from the Middle East (really?), the fact that no doctor would ever share private patient info with anyone other than the police and family members, and the scene where they were contrasting the cemetery darkness with Buffy and Billy with the complete whiteout of the others was poorly shot and way too overdone.
Robin: The doctor sharing the information was definitely bad to the level of distraction for me. Is it just me or was most of this season way too dark on the night shots?
Dahne: I think they were trying to make it atmospheric.
Robin: Yeah, but when you have to change the contrast on your tv and the computer (or at least mine) doesn't get a high enough contrast ratio to see anything, it's too much!
Dahne: Ha! Supernatural did the same thing with season 1.
Robin: So true. And to an extent, they still do. (I actually set my TV based on the Supernatural tv broadcast.)


Wrap-Up:

Dahne: Another thing that always gets me is that the kid Billy looks a lot like Joseph Gordon-Levitt to me. In fact, I've probably checked to see if it was him half a dozen times over the years.
Robin: Yeah, but Joesph had his long hair in 97 so it couldn't be him.
Dahne: I thought the theme of coaches taking the game to seriously was interestingly portrayed. In some ways it is like the second episode Witch in this.
Robin: It is. It's also a little like that season one Smallville episode (that one also had shades of the Buffy fish-swimmer episode. I really hope that makes sense.)
Dahne: I didn't watch Smallville regularly so I'm not sure which episode you are referring to.
Robin: The one where the coach was dosing his player with meteor rocks in the sauna. It was also the one where the sprinklers were set on fire (and one of the multiple attempts on Principle Quan's life)
Dahne: Okay any final thoughts?
Robin: I don't think I really have anything to add. You?
Dahne: I thought the scene where smoking could literally kill you (if there's a monster on the loose) was fun and the scene where Buffy's nightmare world dad tells her she's a disappointment was one of the most painful scenes in the show.
Robin: Yes, smoke breaks don't kill people, monsters attacking people on smoke breaks kill people. And that was a heartbreaking scene.


Review with Blaire and Dahne:


Heroes:

Dahne - Hey Blaire, thanks for coming.
Blaire - I'm happy to be here :) I'm a big fan of this episode, although sometimes I question where the heck it came from. I'm happy to share my thoughts!
Dahne - I really like this episode as well. I think it fleshed out the characters more by showing us their fears.
Blaire - That's an excellent point. Viewers are definitely more inside of the character's heads, especially the titular character's fear of her parents' divorce (a very relatable moment for all survivors of divorce).
Dahne - What I liked best about Buffy's fears were that she had these supernatural fears that no one will experience but then she had common fears that made her very relatable. It's what Joss balanced best in the series. Making Buffy both a superhero and a regular girl with normal problems.
Blaire - Absolutely! That's a fantastic point. So many superheroes are paragons with no human fears.
Dahne - For me it is that Buffy was allowed to have fears AND be the hero. She didn't have to be an anti-hero like so many shows are going to these days.
Blaire - Ah, yes... Buffy was from a time when a hero was actually a hero. All of the heroes in the Buffyverse made horrible, life-altering mistakes, but all were better human beings than those who parade across our television screens today... She's also from a time with kick-ass women, a type of character we are severely lacking nowadays.
Dahne - Agreed. For awhile there Buffy made it safe for women to be both female and heroic, saving lives and being strong. Now it feels like we are reversing that trend. We get some kick butt women, but generally not enough.
Blaire - The kick-butt women are all "badasses" nowadays, but they rarely have the characterization and fleshed-out writing of Buffy.
Dahne - Good point. Although I think that the male version is sometimes stiltedly written as well.


Favorites:


Dahne - So what was your favorite part?
Blaire - Oh man! Favorite? Let me think... On a serious note, probably--as previously mentioned--the relatable moment for young viewers between Buffy and her father. On a silly note, learning that Giles' worst fear is losing his ability to read.
Dahne - The conversation Buffy has with alternate reality Hank was one of the most devastating and hard to take moments of the series for me. I also loved the moment where Giles could not read and is insulted that Buffy thinks he can read fewer languages than he really can. It was classically Giles and always makes me laugh. However, my favorite Giles moment in this one is where he confesses that he fears pushing Buffy too hard and losing her because of it.
Blaire - Absolutely. It may be one of the first times in the series that we see that weakness of Giles. He perpetually shows this fear throughout the series to the audience, but very rarely to Buffy herself.
Dahne - I like that he shared his concerns about his ability to be a good Watcher in front of Willow and Xander too. He is undeniably the parent figure in this show so a lot of times he hides his vulnerability. So when he shows it, it comes out as even more powerful.
Blaire - It's amazing to see the parallels between Hank and Giles. Giles the father-figure and Hank, the father who fulfills Buffy's worst nightmare.
Dahne - I like how they played on the Hank character and wish we had seen more of him. I was really happy though that we got a Buffy and Hank reunion at the end. I would have hated to be left with that image of him.
Blaire - I can't recall... Is this the only time we see Hank?
Dahne - We see Hank again in the premiere of season 2. He brings Buffy back to Sunnydale and buys her way too many shoes.
Blaire - Oh right! On another note, I think it's important that the B and C characters had a moment of comedic relief.
Dahne - I like that Xander faces his fears and punches out the clown. Wasn't too excited about Willow's singing in public fear. The opera singer's facial expressions made me laugh though.
Blaire - Good point! But it's interesting to give Willow that character trait--intense brains paired with an intense fear of being in the public eye.
Dahne - That's something I think they develop well in Willow's character in season 2 and with Oz. One of the little moments that I really liked was Buffy spraining her ankle. It showed that even as a superhero, she wasn't invulnerable and that makes her struggle even more poignant.
Blaire - It is very rare that they show Buffy in that way. When she gets hurt, she later has too many responsibilities to even think about it for more than a line or two. It shows her grow up.


Least Favorites:

Dahne - So is there anything you didn't like about the episode?
Blaire - I could never fully figure out how on earth that kid got those powers. The rest of the Buffyverse mythology doesn't lend itself to this type of supernatural storytelling. I've seen the episode dozens of times, and I'm still not sure it's ever fully explained.
Dahne - It does seem odd that a random kid could not only astral project but then infect everyone else with his fear. Saying they are on the Hellmouth as an explanation felt like a copout. Plus we never see Billy again so we never get to explore if he is a normally psychic kid or if this was a one-off thing.
Blaire - Plus... Astral projection in a coma? From a child?
Dahne - Good point. The story itself didn't make much sense from a Sunnydale canon perspective.
Blaire - It's probably the strangest one-off in the entire Whedon-verse. Whenever any of my friend's ask me about the weirdest Whedon things, I'd have to say that "Nightmares" from Buffy and "The Attic" from Dollhouse are my top two.
Dahne - For me the Master was way too over the top in this episode. I also couldn't believe that Xander blindly follows the chocolate bar trail without ever thinking it could be leading to another nightmare. It reminds me of Harry Potter when Crabbe and Goyle eat the cupcakes and Ron says, "How thick can you get?"
Blaire - You know what, I barely know anything about the Harry Potter universe. But, I think at that junction we only know that Xander likes girls and candy... And that he's really excitable.
Dahne - Ha! Very excitable. I'm glad he matures as the series goes on. By the way, I cannot believe that someone who likes fantasy/sci fi isn't into the Harry Potter world? :-P
Blaire - Honestly! I'm not sure what it is. I got 2/3 way through the 4th book but I hated reading 10 chapters about Quidditch. I know, it barely makes any sense that THAT is what drove me away from HP.
Dahne - Ah, Quidditch isn't for everyone. Try the movies then. There's less time spent on the sport. Also, JK Rowling got tired of writing about Quidditch as well and there is very little to none of it in the latter books.


Sid the Dummy:

Dahne - So is there anything that makes a particular impact from this episode on the series for you? For me it is mostly getting to know the characters better and the theme of facing your fears to overcome them.
Blaire - I think for me the big takeaway from "Nightmares" is that while it's a very enjoyable hour of television that helps me to have a better understanding of some of my favorite characters of all time, the biggest impact the episode has on me was an example of a series almost hitting the mark but falling short.
Dahne - I think maybe I enjoy this episode so much because I really did not like the previous episode about the dummy.
Blaire - Oh my goodness! That's one of my favorite episodes! Sid is one of my favorite characters!
Dahne - Really? You like Sid? We should have had you on the last roundtable because for the most part all of us disliked that episode. You would have been a great counterpoint.
Blaire - Oh my goodness! You get to play as Sid in one of the original Buffy video games. His story gets better and better :) He's one of the episodes I highly recommend to newbies of the Whedonverse!
Dahne - Wow! If I had seen The Puppet Show first, I don't think I would have continued with Buffy. The whole premise was too weird for me and I thought Sid was over the top smarmy.
Blaire - I love smarmy :)
Dahne - Ha!


The X-Files and Other Favorites:

Dahne - One of my favorite things about Buffy is the high school/life as hell motif running throughout it.
Joss always took mundane things and gave them a supernatural twist so that they were out there but still relatable. In this episode for me a big part of that is the insane degree some adults take kid sports.
Blaire - Yes! My favorite example of the mundane things being given a supernatural twist is "Out of Mind, Out of Sight".
Dahne - That's next week's episode and one of my favorite standalones. The idea of invisible kids working for the government creeped me out when I first saw it.
Blaire - TOTALLY! But as an X-Files and Hellboy buff I wasn't too bothered by it. If that makes sense?
Dahne - I don't know anything about Hellboy, but X-Files helped inspire my love of sci fi and genre TV.
Blaire - Me as well! The X-Files may be my favorite series of all time, next to Angel.
Dahne - The X-Files was my first TV obsession, marking the first time I ever went to the internet to talk about TV. It was also my first foray into the massive and sometimes disturbing world of fanfiction.
Blaire - Hah! The X-Files was my first TV obsession as well, but I think my first trip to the Internet to really talk about TV obsessively may have been for 'Heroes'.
Dahne - Ah, you missed some very heated discussions about The X-Files then, especially when it came to 'shipping.


Wrap-Up:

Dahne - John, another regular to the roundtable who couldn't make it this time, also loves to talk about Buffy in society and how it takes on societal issues. I don't see much of that in this episode. Anything you want to say about it?
Blaire - Well... I think we had a missed opportunity earlier. The fanatical sports issues is well-addressed here, and there are countless real-life examples of adults taking it too far with child athletes. Or letting child athletes hurt other children.
Dahne - I thought it was brilliant the way they made the coach into a literal monster in Billy's view. I don't think some parents get how they come across to kids when they get overly involved.
Blaire - Very true. But unfortunately I feel like the pay-off at the end, that we only really discover this at the end, made the episode fall very flat. I like knowing who the bad guy is earlier in an episode rather than a big reveal at the end--like Law & Order.
Dahne - Hmm, interesting. I never really questioned the villain reveal at the end, probably because that's how most of the shows I watch do it. So anything else you want to add about this episode?
Blaire - Honestly that pretty much covers most of my thoughts! Any other questions that you have for me?
Dahne - Nope. Thanks so much for joining on this episode. I look forward to hearing your views on Out of Sight, Out of Mind as well.
Blaire - I would love to offer them! Thanks so much for inviting me! It was a real pleasure :)

Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - Round 5 - Poll


Unlike the previous round, most of yesterday's polls were not even close with Dean's pathos in AHBL1 toppling its opponent by a whopping 72.6%. Alas, Sam's great quote where he vows not to leave Dean got beat out by 5 votes by the angel-demon porn line, which I never expected to get this far. So sad. Coming in with 43% of the vote were Dean's Aquarius speech and Cas' perdition line. That leaves only Dean, Sam, and 1 Bobby quote left to finish the competition as seen in the polls below. We've entered the Sweet Sixteen, where only 8 quotes can move on. Make your choice and happy voting!

Polling will end at 11 pm CST on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Contest Results so Far

























Quotes Too Long for Poll:

5-2. Dean: "All of them…everyone you saved, everyone Sammy and I saved. They're all dead, and there's this woman…haunting me. I don't know why. I don't know what the connection is, not yet ayway. It's like my old life is like coming after me or something, like it doesn't want me to be happy. Course I know what you'd say…well not the you that played softball, but you'd say, 'Go hunt the djinn. It put you here. It can put you back. Your happiness over all those people's lives…no contest.' Right? But why? Why is it my job to save these people? Why do I have to be some kind of hero? What about us huh? Mom's not supposed to live her life, Sammy's not supposed to get married? Why do we have to sacrifice everything dad? It's…yeah." (WiaWSNB)

5-2. Dean: "You know when we were little, I mean you couldn't have been more than 5, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why do we always have to move around? Where'd dad go? I mean he'd take off for days at a time. I remember I begged you, "Quit asking Sammy. Man you don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid just for a little while longer. I was trying to protect you, keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility you know. It's like I had one job…I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it…and for that I'm sorry. I guess that's what I do. I let down the people I love. I let dad down and now I guess I'm just supposed to let you down too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy…gah, what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?" (AHBL2)

5-6. Sam: "Yeah because I've been following you around my entire life. I mean I've been looking up to you since I was 4 Dean. Studying you, trying to be just like my big brother. So yeah I know you. Better than anyone else in the entire world and this is exactly how you act when you're terrified. And I mean I can't blame you. It's just…" Dean: "What?" Sam: "It's just I wish you would drop the show and be my big brother again cuz…just cuz." (Fresh Blood)

Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - 4B - Poll



Friday was a great day for me with only 2 quotes I dislike out of 8 going to the sweet 16. Things were overall pretty close with Dean's "screw hunting" speech from Yellow Fever losing by a mere 5 votes. Humming Metallica lost by 8 votes and drinking the liquor store received 46% of the vote. Today has some real winner quotes as well with only 3 on my blech list. Polls close at 22:00 CST. Happy voting!

Okay hell I know I've said some junk that's set you back on your heels, but Sammy come on. I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this b** and all the SoB's that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything past or present that I would put in front of you. It has never been like that…ever! I need you to see that. I'm begging you." (Sacrifice)
