Apologist Thread

Season 6 had its moments. You know, I can place every single episode in seasons 1 through 3, but everything after season 4 is pretty much a blur. Between Marti Noxon's rape fixation and the magic addiction and the whiny, sucky potentials (except for Millie, of course, she ruled) and the bad badness, well... I try to forget most of it, but I still can't forget how they went from Spike's rape happy moment to a fucking BURGER KING commercial. That's classy, y'all.

That musical episode was pretty fabulous, though. I'll give them that.

I will walk, through the fire!

You people like the kitties in the poker game, even though you know what's going to happen to them? And Dawn (among many other things), killed the show for me. I still watched them all, but the magics were gone.

I have, on numerous occasions, indulged in alcohol and other mind-altering substances. I've often had a good time doing it.

I do, however, share the common disdain for people who refuse to leave these altered states, or who equate them with actually doing something rebellious or interesting.

You mean to say that the demon didn't use the kittens for petting and cuddling? I don't understand... That's what kittens are for!

As I said before, I blocked out the vast majority of those seasons. I'd like to pretend he was just super-fond of cats, like Hellboy.

I hate dogs. They are the only creatures that make humans look less selfish. If you ever think a dog is protecting you from a stranger when it barks, keep in mind they are only protecting their house. Get attacked while walking one. See if they do shit.

Kenkwan, those kittens were actors.  The demons didn't really eat them.

Demons are real.

[Sarah]

But those demons were working for scale at the time, and kitten eating was not one of their perks.  I cannot vouch for what happened when everyone clocked out for the day, but on set no allurophagia took place.

I'm usually with Tom but I do like meat.

The NBA is way better than NCAA. I'd much rather watch top tier players showcase their talents than whiny coaches showcase their recruiting skills. March Madness is great but it's not because the college game is better, it's because it's set up so wonderful and the only time gambling is accepted in all walks of life, so everyone has a rooting interest. But other than those first couple rounds of March Madness the NBA is much better.

Yeah Pan's Labyrinth was wonderful, and I think Tom didn't see it, he'd only seen the trailers, which I can understand is enough to not want to see a movie most times.  I'm sure if he watched it he'd enjoy it.  It was advertised as a very crazy goofy Alice type of thing, and many reviewers said that it was completely mind blowing and as if walking out of a different world when exiting...but no, it was very much based in the real world of course, and as far as anti-war/fascism movies was very watchable without being typically heavy handed.  ...and any movie with Sergi López is immediately worth seeing, esp. Dirty Pretty Things...deliciously nefarious...

I love Burt's Bees products. I don't know what I'd do without my lemon poppy seed facial cleanser. Plus, I think I look cute with little poppy seeds splattered all over my face.

Also, I shop at Epicure, which is sort of like a more Jewish version of New York's Zabar's, and at Norman Brothers, which is more like Whole Foods than Epicure, I think. I grew up on Norman Brothers milkshakes. They're awesome. Wait, scratch that, Gardner's Market and Fresh Market are more like Whole Foods, and I shop at Fresh Market all the time. Gardner's Market is expensive, but they have great ready-made food for cheap.

Granted, I love a Publix cupcake, so I'm not a total elitist when it comes to grocery shopping. I just know I'm less apt to buy produce at regular supermarkets after an incident I had with a cantaloupe. I had stuff coming out of both ends. Turns out their melons were tainted with salmonella. YUM!

Wait, whut! The kittens were actors? Were they all actors? The Vampires, The Slayer!

I love golf.  Golf, golf, Golf!  When you're doing well, it's the second best way in the universe to spend an afternoon.

That is, if you're lucky.  Some people I've known think it's #1.

playing soccer being the first, ..

Yeah! I don't get the anti-NBA pro-NCCA argument. There are a lot more good guys then Ron Artestesses in the pros then what the TV would lead you to believe.

I like Red Meat but I don't think Tom would mind. He eats fish I believe which I am not a fan of. We are even!

I also don't like the McFlurry. It made my throat sore! Advantage Tom.
