So I was sitting, reading for my gender class (cause there's an exam tomorrow and I'm behind), and I read this one essay and all I could think was S7 SPUFFY OH MY GOD!!!

The Feminization of Love by Francesca M. Cancian (Sorry, you need JSTOR access to read it ( Read more... )

I put aside the fanfic and my Xena DVDs for a bit so I could finish off this meta I've been working on forever!For the longest time, I've had literally no opinion about the Big Slayer Spell Debate. None. I could see both sides. Yeah, sharing power = good. Forcing power on unaware, unconsenting girls = bad. I'd just kick back, read the discussions, ( Read more... )

You know, I forgot to mention that I finished my Buffy rewatch shortly before Christmas. Go me!

Endings can be strange. I remember when I got to the ending of Xena, I was devastated by the series ending. It didn't help that Friend in Need was sub-par (Despite the fact that I got to see Gabrielle in a samurai outfit). I just didn't want the show to ( Read more... )

So I posted a poll on Empty Places without really spelling out my thoughts on it. Now that I've finished rewatching Touched, I'm gonna just blurt out my random thinky-thoughts on the two episodes.

Almost forgot! Happy birthday, hollydb! She's an awesome writer. I fangirl her. *nods*

Time for a bit of mid-S7 fangirling.

1. You know, I see people complain that S7 became All About Spike. I still don't see it. In the first half, it's very inner Scooby-centric. Hell, First Date has the gang joking about their love lives. Now, later on Buffy does ( Read more... )

It's the weekend for thinky-thoughts, I suppose. Hey, tomorrow Dead Week starts up at school and I'll be back to studying for finals. Promise!

I rewatched Potential and was reminded of my main issue with the metaphor in S7.

Years ago, when I watched Chosen for the first time, I enjoyed the ending. But the empowerment spell left me feeling empty. ( Read more... )

I've never been a fan of The First as a villain. Not even back in S3. It seemed like all talk, no action. Blah blah blah EVIL blah blah blah I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU blah blah. Whatevs ( Read more... )
