Not all, Buffy just had a lucky/unlucky experience.

I love that when Giles reacts to Buffy's "scary and horrible" line, SMG doesn't do an "oops, foot in my mouth!" expression but instead…

…she's all "yeah, that's right, I said it. What you doing to do about it, Giles?"  

Heh.

He's gonna try real hard to quell his Ripper-ish alter ego in order not to beat Buffy to a bloody pulp. I guess so.

Possibly the second-best quote from The Fringedwellers' reviews (behind the immortal "Aw, Giles thinks Ford is cute!" from Lie to Me) comes here:

"Actually, Freud was a complete nutter and might very well have done the dance."

Imagining Dr. Freud doing the dance for Buffy and Willow always makes me smile.

I love how Willow tries to lighten up Buffy's mood post-ressurection.

Awww.   

(I had completely forgotten that this thread exists.  Huh.)

What's practically at the top of Buffy-Screencaps?  A scene I've never seen!

(By this time [7.18] Sparky's presence on-screen was an automatic FF, barring rare exceptions. [I watched the teaser to see Faith's return to Sunnydale, for example.]  But "character moments for Spike"?  To quote Willow, "not caring!")

Now, forgetting about the upcoming "let's sell a Faith/Spike spinoff!" shirtless crap, this is fairly good work by Faith.  She realizes that as questionable as Giles's double-dealing might be, it could indicate that Spike's presence is a problem.  It doesn't quite equate with Forrest trying to justify the "killer 'raccoon' in the sewers" trap that Walsh laid for Buffy ("Maybe she thought Buffy needed killing"), because Buffy is a human being (Spuffy-fluffing nonsense aside) whereas the justification for letting Spike continue to get away with thousands of murders (not to mention his already having been proven able to subverted by the First) is indeed "kinda shaky".

So at least one Slayer isn't blinded by the allure of Hawt Woobie Abs.

(At least, not yet. [Grumble mutter.])

So, apparently Buffy-Screencaps pretty much stopped posting three years ago.  Which accounts for this thread drying out.  I'm going to have to try to save the ones I want.

But for now:

I do love when Xander makes Buffy smile.  (Of course, I also love when he makes Willow smile, but c'mon.  That's easy money.  Buffy is a challenge.)

Geez... Is Calendar the only non-student female in SHS? In the town of Sunnydale?

If Buffy didn't see a woman who isn't Jenny speaking to Giles, doesn't mean such thing can never happen at all...

[Halting Hex]

Given that Giles has yet to move beyond asking a chair if it would be "amenable" (and given that Buffy sends a suspiciously large amount of time with him), IMO it would indeed be surprising if G-Dawg had been keeping a lady on the down-low, I would say.

What, you're going to tell me he's got international models younger than Cordelia flying in from England and calling him "Ripper"?  Please.

[Halting Hex]

Personally, I vote for champagne.  The good stuff, too.

But now for the important question…what's with Giles's hair?  He looks as though he's recovering from a buzz-cut.

What happened to that nice wavy moss from S2?  If this is the price we have to pay for his upgrading his glasses from the old horn-rims, well…idk.  Meh.

[Halting Hex]

I remain very sad that Cordelia didn't go to UC-Sunnydale with the gang.

I mean, Cordy yammering at Maggie Walsh, is that too much to ask?  Sigh.

So poor Angel won't have a loyal yes-woman of his own in LA? How could you be so callous?

As I was just digging up caps from The Dark Age, before:

"Xander!" -Willow to Xander, I Robot You Jane

"I wouldn't worry." —Buffy to Joyce, Ted

"We're good here." —Buffy to Jenny, Passion

"Check.  Cancel spanking."  —Xander to Imaginary!Techies (actually his shirt collar), Surprise (Buffy, Giles, Jenny present.)

Yeah, it's arguable that I played that "ID the quote and construct a scene" game a bit too much, from '04-'07.  0 well…

Geez, Ripper!  Keep it in your pants!  Do I have to call Ethan for you?
