On Friday I bought season one of Robot Chicken, and have been going through it at a pace that guarantees it will not last me much longer (but with 10-minute episodes, really, how long is a "season" going to last anyhow?). Along with the admittedly huge number of molestation jokes, there have been some seriously hilarious bits like the Buffy one above (which I actually found to be only so-so until the punchline kicked in). There was a beautiful one about the Yakuza killing off everyone in N*Snyc except Joey Fatone (they thought he was a roadie), and Joey's fight to avenge his fallen bandmates by battling in a martial arts tournament against Hong Kong Fooie.

Some really yummy wheat amongst the chaff.

"Days of Terror" is right. I always felt that, despite my adoration for the show, they might have taken it one season too long — I thought ending it at the conclusion of season seven, with Buffy dying to save us all, was pretty much the perfect capstone to the series. "She saved the world a lot", indeed.

Yeah, I could have lived with missing the whole "This week, Dawn cries and accuses Buffy of not wanting her here" story arc.
