Longish thoughts on Buffy S9 #7 (and also...I miss my Mac!)

[annapurna_2]

First off, don’t get me wrong…I like my new (-ish) PC, especially since it would’ve taken me a lot longer to get back online if I’d waited till I could save up enough to buy a Mac. (Pets PC.) But I do miss some of the quick-and-easy Mac features like click-and-drag screen shots (that grab only what I want to grab, not the whole screen) and iPhoto

Still, there’s a difference between being unhappy with the way a story is going and sheer self delusion. Please help me always remember that.

I'm not sure you can ever go too far in overestimating shippers capacity for "sheer self delusion", LOL! I gave up on season 8 in progress (I realized I didn't recognize any of the characters) but followed it kinda/ sorta from comments on my friend's list though I did break down and read the whole thing after the fact. I do read season 9. I remember the spuffy camp looking for things to support Our Ship-- there was a scene on the bug-ship that sparked several fics and a lot of comments. And there are some truly crazy people on the forums, which is why I only occasionally lurk there. Though (oddly!) I've seen more crazy Buffy/Xander shippers than bangels; have I missed a good wank? Links please!

I've been shaking my head over the robot thing. I can't seem to come up with a way to make it make sense; the only timing I can think of is sometime before the "You are not the slayer" fairy dream. But even in the ultra-realistic robot buffy-verse a robot being able to pee on a pregnancy test doesn't make sense. I know, I know, I'm overthinking this!

Much sympathy on the mac vs PC. I've owned macs for a long time, and I hate having to work with PCs at work. Granted they're elderly PC running elderly OSs, and crash more often than we'd like. But the price point is a strong argument!
