happiness is a warm gun (on a sexy pair of black panties...)
I HEART Linsey.
Just thought I'd share that.
Have cramps. Am not so happy about that.
Buffy was rather "eh". Some good things, but a lot of little things that seemed off.
Things I liked - Giles, Giles, and oh, yeah. Giles. Sometimes I totally see where the Buffy/Giles shippers are coming from - and, not one to be put off by things like serious age disparity, I sometimes lean that way myself. Lots of sparks and vibes last night. The couch scene? Whoa.
It was nice, also, to finally see someone with an actual idea of what Buffy needs right now, someone asking the right questions and saying the right things. So far, Dawn and Spike have been the only ones to come close to knowing how to handle this "new" Buffy, and even they have fumbling moments.
And, well, though I wanted WAY more Spike than I got, I did love that brief scene. Buffy crushing out the cigarette, the smile, the hey, Spike...
And there's something about the conversation, the things Buffy's telling Spike that she's not telling anyone else, the sudden ease between the two (and Spike's still-obvious total awe and adoration of his Slayer) that seems terribly foreshadowy. *IF* I'm right, and it is, well... I can't say how I feel about that.
I think there's chemistry. I think Buffy feels more for Spike than she's ever let on, even if it was - until recently, perhaps - purely physical. I think Spike's love is genuine. I think brooding lovestruck worshipful Spike is the greatest thing since cheese.
But would I really want them together, ever? I don't know. Most of the appeal, for me, is in the fact that it's unrequited. I can't honestly see any lasting appeal were they ever to get down and horizontal and make like pretzels, nakedly. (I LOVE mixing my metaphors!) Then again, the unrequited puppy dog adoration can't go on forever, either. At some point is has to culminate in something, one way or another.
Which way would I want? The part of me that loves Spike and wants whatever makes his little Spike-heart happy wants him to get his Buffy. The part of me that wants what's realistic wants this bond I see sprouting between them to grow into friendship, and for Spike to get over his lust, and make something lasting. The part of me that's depraved wants Spike to get it on with Dawn. (I mean - wait, nevermind.)
But, what I want is meaningless. Only Joss knows. He is, after all, God.
Things I Did Not Like:
Willow. I get the point of the power trip. I get where it's headed. I get that Willow's getting too witchy for her own good. Trouble is, it's all terribly out of character, imho.
Xander and Anya... sigh. Last season, I really, really LOVED Anya. So far this season, she's just not getting to DO anything, except whine about Xander's inability to grow a freaking spine. The bottom line, I think, is that Willow, Xander, and Anya ALL need something to do. They've all been a little off.
I had other things to say, but I'm just not quite coherent enough. The previews for the "musical Buffy" looked quite amusing, though. Gotta love a show that never fears taking risks.

And yes, the Counting Crows are coming here. No, I'm not going... who would I go with? The tickets were on sale a while ago, at the post office... it's probably sold out anyway. (Besides, I heard they aren't that great live. Which I would believe. Their strength is in songwriting and lyricism, not singing. It's barely passable on the cd.)
But I am doing fine. 3 hours for a haircut? My my. Crazy Brits.
