the ideal Without a Recipe cast for a single episode would be Kwesi, Ryan, Jared, and Joyce
the last few seasons of Without a Recipe have been tragically hit or miss, but the Girl Scout Cookies episode is fantastic.
the Chicago episode of New Girl is begging to crossover with The Bear
if twisters had one (maybe even two) fewer tornadoes in it it would have hit harder
you know how there’s a weakness built into the programming of girls aged 4 to 11 that makes them adore Frozen beyond all reason? well apparently there’s a weakness built into the programming of women aged 20 to 35, approximate, which makes them like Twisters, and I am not the exception to that
when the cop in that New Girl episode said “sometimes people tell the truth” and then everyone said “that was black Santa!” I absolutely did cry
okay who stole from who because the end scene of The Sandlot and the end scene of Band of Brothers are identical
Cordelia has ten thousand times more love in her heart than Xander

BITING CLAWING KILLING

Oz: remember when I didn’t graduate?
Willow: I remember you had a lot of incompletes, but that’s what summer school was for!
Oz: yeah. remember when I didn’t go?
Spike looking back at the final fight and saying “he’s gonna kill her” and then shrugging and walking away with Druscilla in his arms is iconic obviously but Acathla had already been awakened so, what? Angel’s gonna kill Buffy and then the world is gonna end???? but that’s okay because you and Dru will be together driving away in your car with the blacked out windows when you get sucked into hell? what exactly is your plan babes?
I think Whedon wanted his the-boyfriend-becomes-the-big-bad-when-you-sleep-with-him metaphor and he wanted his season finale with the maximum possible angst for the protagonist and I don’t think he thought very much about how those things fit together. Angel is cursed again just in time for Buffy to have no choice but to kill him, because that’s the most dramatic possible outcome. but accidentally I think Whedon said what he believed to be true: that even if you can rediscover the good and lovable parts of the person who hurt you, in order to stop your world from ending, you have to kill those parts just as much as you have to kill the bad parts. any repentance is too little too late. if the people who hurt you aren’t dragged into hell by their sin, then we all get sucked into hell with them, so you have to have the scapegoat, you have to have the monster who is set apart and rejected completely. you cannot really forgive and have the world keep turning, because there’s no one to reverse the consequences of sin.
Angel like oh whose blood do I need? the ritual says sanguinum meum WHOSE DO YOU THINK
BITING CLAWING KILLING
Joyce saying “so you didn’t kill that girl” I am biting clawing killing
Buffy and Spike are such a zero brain cell team-up and I love that for them
is there anything funnier than Buffy and Spike agreeing they have to team up and him going “alright, I just need to kill this guy” and her clearing her throat and him totally genuinely having a little moment of dawning comprehension “oh right”
