ANGEL: Are you gonna tell me that I'm jealous?
WILLOW: Well, you do sometimes get that way.
ANGEL: You know, I never used to. (sits on her bed) Things used to be pretty simple. (Willow types) A hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty... I really honed my brooding skills.

GILES: (smiling) Oh God, Buffy.
GILES: You're alive. You're here. And you're still ... remarkably strong.
BUFFY: Huh? Oh. Sorry.
GILES: Willow told me, but I didn't really let myself believe ...
BUFFY: I take a little getting used to. I'm still getting used to me.
GILES: It's, uh ... you're ...
BUFFY: A miracle?
GILES: Yes. But then, I always thought so.

BUFFY: What happened to Xander?
GILES: He kept poking me with his hook. (Buffy picks up an item from the counter) I sent him over to charmed objects. With any luck he'll poke the wrong one and end up in an alternative dimension inhabited by a 50-foot Giles that squishes annoying teeny pirates.

MASTER: Yes. Come forth, my child. Come into my world.
BUFFY: I don't think it's yours just yet.
MASTER: You're dead!
BUFFY: I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.
MASTER: You were destined to die! It was written!
BUFFY: What can I say? I flunked the written.

[personal profile] thenewbuzwuzz posting in [community profile] su_herald
It's been an honor helming [community profile] su_herald these past few years, but—alas—my attention is increasingly on offline pursuits, including a new full-time job that will prevent me from being as available as the Herald deserves. So our Wednesday editor [personal profile] burnhername has kindly agreed to step up as the next chief editor. burnhername has already been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to improve sundry things and support her fellow editors, so between her and our wonderful editor team, I'm certain the Herald will be in good hands.

I will still make newsletter posts for now, but the chief editor handles most of the Herald's communication and admin, and that'll be burnhername's wheelhouse now. So when you need to contact the person in charge around here, please use one of these contact options:
Links for including in the newsletter can still be submitted via our tumblr submission box (this should work even if you're not logged in to tumblr, and you don't have to provide a real email address if you don't want to) or by email—just remember that the Herald's email address is now sunnydaleherald@gmail.com.

WILLOW: Do you think you're ready to fight Angel?
BUFFY: I wish people would stop asking me that. Yes, I'm ready. I'm also willing and able. Just the one test I might actually pass.
WILLOW: Don't say that! You're gonna pass everything. I will get you through this semester if I have to sweat blood.
XANDER: Do you think you're likely to? 'Cause I'd like to be elsewhere.
WILLOW: It was only metaphor blood.
OZ: I think you'd sweat cute blood.

Some Encouraging Signs

Aug. 29th, 2025 01:50 pm
yourlibrarian: Neal Looks at Peter (WC-Neal Looks at Peter -sallymn)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian
1) Too long ago now, I shared some DS9 related meta posts at [community profile] meta_warehouse and found that I was interested in the suggestions about older Trek being more character oriented than newer Trek shows. Although the post involved DS9 and Discovery, if we look at Star Trek Enterprise versus Discovery, "bad writing" doesn't cover it all. Read more... )

2) In Germany, news readers asked to identify AI created news often couldn't, and were more likely to stay subscribed. (You can test yourself on some of the samples at the link)

3) Watched another season of Silent Witness and came to a realization about why I took to Clarissa so quickly. Read more... )

4) I have yet to get back to Boston Legal, interrupted as I was by new subscriptions, shows returning, etc. But I had left myself some notes about something I still think is worth mentioning even if I don't develop this out into a longer essay.

I was struck by the way political issues were engaged with in shows taking place in the 1990s vs 2000s. Read more... )

5) Encouraging news about the Briet startup which aims to make digital books ownable by libraries instead of the hamstringing rental agreements they now have to contend with. I hope it succeeds and grows.

Xander: Uh, *you* nearly came to blows, Buffy. I nearly came to loss of limbs.

(Everyone is in Xander's apartment and Dawn is talking about Glory.)
DAWN: ... all skanky and blonde and thinking she's all that just 'cause some bumpy heads kiss her stinky feet ... (lowers her voice) She does have nice feet.
(Dawn raises her voice back to normal and continues) A-and she's comin' right at us, and- Buffy's just standing there not even blinking, like "Bring it on," and then, wham! (smacks one fist into the other hand)

Xander: I have a plan.
Cordelia: Oh, no, here's a lower place.
Xander: I don't know what's up with Angel, but I think I may have a way to deal with this Judge guy.
Willow: What do we do?

Various Goodbyes

Aug. 23rd, 2025 01:40 pm
yourlibrarian: Merlin Reading (MERL-MerlinReading - sallymn)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian
1) Finally saw the last episode of Vera and the Farewell Pet documentary extra about the series. Interesting that the show has been so successful in so many countries. I will miss seeing new stories and it's particularly unfortunate that the last season was only 2 episodes. But I'm glad it had a long run and was satisfied with how it left off.

2) When I went to cancel Britbox earlier this week, they offered me a free month to continue. So why not? As a result I had more time to get through House of Elliot and finished S3. They clearly expected to go onto another season, which is unfortunate because without the final scenes they could have wrapped the story up fairly well. Read more... )

3) I also forged ahead up to season 19 of Silent Witness. Read more... )

4) I can't say I miss mass market paperbacks, largely because I read e-books and their costs have risen considerably. But their decline does upset some for a variety of reasons. I definitely think it's a shame they've been replaced by paperback copies in a hardback size, due to storage space, cost, and reduced titles. Read more... )

5) Some more trip photos at [community profile] common_nature, these at Agate Beach and nearby areas. Also a lack of whales.

BUFFY: So lemme get this straight. You're ... "Dracula." The guy, the count.
DRACULA: I am.
BUFFY: And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? Cause ... I've fought more than a couple of pimply overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.
DRACULA: (looks a little annoyed) You know who I am. As I would know without question that you are Buffy Summers.
BUFFY: You've heard of me?
DRACULA: Naturally. You're known throughout the world.
BUFFY: (smiles bashfully) Naw. Really?
