Picking a few random ones to answer, because I should really be working on a paper:
K. Does the idea of the S8 BtVS comics make anyone else sad? It depresses me and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I would not be upset if there was an S6 of AtS. I mean, I'm glad that there'll be L. more Buffy and that Whedon is doing it, but it feels kinda bittersweet to me, and that makes me feel like I'm being a spoil sport.
It makes me sad, in a way, because I really liked the idea that Buffy's story was kind of . . . not over, but in a place where she could be relatively happy, and now it will probably be revealed that she's horribly traumatized and depressed and people are dying and all kinds of awful Whedon-things. On the other hand, I'm kind of selfishly happy that there will be new material that I can consume at the same time as everyone else, instead of doing the DVD thing and getting spoiled for everything the instant I wander on-line. (No, I'm not bitter that I knew that Buffy would die and that she was in heaven and Tara was going to die and Willow would flay Warren and Spike would die and come back. Not at all :) )
M. Can you name all the episodes of AtS and BtVS? If you can't, can you at least recognize all the episode names? If you can't, about how many ep names per season would you say you know?
. . . I think I can name all of BtVS in order until mid-S7, but everything blends after Showtime. I can probably name all of AtS S1 in order too. And what I don't know off the top of my head, I can usually recognize. That's a little disturbing, actually.
O. Do you like Rachel Ray?
I only saw her show once, but she referred to "extra-virgin olive oil" as "ee-vee-oh-oh," and ever since then I've kind of disliked her. Does that make me a bad person?

Um. Um? I can't remember whether you've gotten to see all of AtS. In view of the whole spoilers conversation, I edited this comment. I'm a real ditz.

Maybe this is what makes me sad, too.

For some reason, I didn't really care about spoilers. I have difficulty assessing my mood at the time, but I got into Buffyverse fandom almost simultaneously with Buffyverse itself, and it was just so limiting to try to stay spoiler free. I didn't actively search for spoilers, but yeah, knew most of it before it happened. This is the part that I cut 'cause I started talking about which spoilers I knew and didn't know. And I actually managed to not know a big one. Maybe you have too which is why I deleted my first comment and did this one.

I don't think it makes you a bad person, but this is the reason I ask. First time I saw her she drove me nuts and I thought she was the most annoying things on earth. But after I watched her several times I noticed that her meals seemed REALLY good and REALLY easy, so I started making some. After that I watched the show for the recipes, and then I started to find her incredibly endearing. Her stupid EVOO stuff just adds to the charm--she knows she's a goofball and has fun with it instead of trying not to be lame.

No, it's okay! After I realized I was spoiled for pretty much everything anyway, I stopped caring so that I could read all the amazing-looking post-NFA fic. Plus, TNT's syndication schedule was so weird that I saw NFA before I saw most of S3. So, I haven't seen everything yet, but I still know all the general plot points. You don't have to worry about spoiling me :)

Heh, that's what Big Sis says. She actually claims that she still finds Rachel Ray insanely annoying, but she watches the show religiously and uses the recipes a lot. Maybe eventually she too will succumb to the perkiness that is Rachel Ray?

Yeah, I watched Rachel Ray for quite a while before the annoyingness turned into endearing cuteness.
