so, dr. horrible’s sing-along blog is a lot like buffy season six - big with the getting what you ask for, and realizing that whoops, maybe you don’t really want it.

yup.

ah, the joys of buffy first thing in the morning.

At the core of the show is a Jungian investigation of archetypal symbolism, the importance of dreams and symbols as links to a collective unconscious, a place where gods and monsters are real.

if that kind of description floats your boat, you can read the rest of the article at popmatters. the link is actually better for all the other buffy articles on it, the one claiming that the death of tara was homophobic notwithstanding.

last night’s series finale was good, but as willow might say, “it wasn’t oh, my god, my girlfriend’s got a pierced tongue good.”

buffy touched the fire and it neither freezes nor seriously burns her. spike gets to rest in peace until angel starts shooting later this year. anya, the perennial critic of human nature, embraces hers just before getting bisected. faith finally gets some, and willow touches her inner goddess, and xander walks away thinking, “well, it’s a good thing i didn’t marry her…. i’d be a widower now.”

oh, and giles? he and dawn get to start up an entirely new watchers council…

buffy buffy everywhere. more buffy coverage than you can shake a stake at.

the washington post has one article.
salon has two, plus it’s the subject of today’s tabletalk.
zap2it has two. (okay, one’s a grand sendoff thingy.)

the UK independent. the bbc (with a photo of spike sporting a bloody lip). the UC santa barbara newspaper. the baltimore sun has several. oh, hell, just google news it.

damn, those buffy fans are some kind of FREAKS!

as we all know, buffy’s last new episode will air on tuesday the 20th at 8pm. in preparation for that apocalyptic event, i bring you….

THE BUFFY QUIZZES!

Which Buffy vampire are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

episode 1.1: welcome to the hellmouth

“vague that up”
“fluffy bunny feelings”
“what is your childhood trauma?”
“live in the now, okay?”

episode 1.2: the harvest

“excessive not studying”

let it be known: i’m the first person on the web (according to a google search) to use the term “whedonics.”

some examples:

“the wiggins”
“salty goodness”
“the pan-dimensional black market”
“re-ensoul”

more to come.

i’ve got to thank todd for sending this one to me. although i’m not sure about equating glory to saddam hussein, and then there’s the problem of mixing pop culture metaphors (he throws a wizard of oz reference in and because he’s using buffy i thought for a moment he was referring to daniel osbourne) but i’ll overlook that pending further thought.

buffy the vampire slayer — the complete third season — has shipped. but i notice that i forgot to send it to his address — so he’s going to have to track me down to get it!

muwahahahahahahahahaah!
