In *completely* different news (and really I ought to have made another post, but I'm a little rushed and don't want to spam your flists) today is (as Caroline so beautifully put it) Bangel!Boinking!Day, a term which I think puts the whole thing in perspective. *sniggers* (ETA: In case you're wondering, then every day is Spuffy!Boinking!Day. Ahem.)
Also I wanted to mention that I am delighted with the feminist rage that has been unleashed recently, but (being a cynic at heart, apparently) don't think it'll make a blind bit of difference to the story to be honest. However, according to this apparently in this issue the crack gets turned up to eleven. (Couldn't help myself!!!) Favourite quote [bolded bits my emphasis]:
What's interesting is that a lot of things get explained but I still don't have a clue what's going on or why. There are so many layers to this story and the scope is so big that, the more you know, the more you don't.
REALLY? Gosh, well I never!
OK, I'll go now.

Yes, I commented again for the sole purpose of using another icon.
no subject
I APPROVE OF THIS VERY MUCH!

I'm trying to think if I have any other tangentially relevant icons...

ETA: I feel like there should be some sort of fixed ritual on Bangel!boinking!day - it only comes around once a decade, after all. Do we do some sort of dance? Like, pretend there's a huge carnivorous fish that we jump over, or something?
no subject
But oh, a ritual... Hmm. We've got quite a large hammer headed shark bath toy that could be so deployed. :)
no subject
A dance would be great. :D

I'm reluctant to say anything I've not read, but it sounds so much like more of the same, amping up the crack, explaining nothing. And I'm pretty sure however my reiew will look like it'll end with "we'll see" again.
no subject
Glad I'm not alone!
And I'm pretty sure however my reiew will look like it'll end with "we'll see" again.
And since we're definitely getting a s9 I'm guessing not even the ending will wrap up anything. Ah well, pointing and laughing is fine with me.

Exciting news of exciting-ness: I finally managed to download the new DW, SO GUESS WHAT I WILL BE WATCHING WHEN I GO HOME TONIGHT.
Sorry. I'm very excited. Like this:

(Thanks! Snag away! I like Rose, but I fangirl Martha and Donna, so the two of them hugging and being flaily together makes my whole day!)
no subject
Martha is made of awesome, and I *had* to have that icon the second I saw it! :)

Same here! *loves the whole whoniverse*

every day is Spuffy!Boinking!Day. Now that's talking!
no subject
Indeed. I am much obliged!
Now that's talking!
Now I'm wondering... if Buffy and Angel have sex once every ten years, how long until they've caught up with Spike/Buffy... ;)
no subject
LMAO! This just made this sad, crack!tastic day in BtVS history so much more bearable...

Oh, thank you for this. I've been dreading today. Now I feel happy and light of brain.

*beams* Amazing how such a simple phrase can suddenly change everything, isn't it?
Oh, thank you for this. I've been dreading today. Now I feel happy and light of brain.
My pleasure! I try my best to spread joy and happiness wherever I go! *g*

I'd much rather squee about the new Doctor, though I'm clearly going to have to avoid the forums. Way to harsh my squee, forums! I probably should just avoid them full stop...
I so need a "Madman in a box" icon!

I've given up too, but there's been a lot of talk lately, so...

Yeah, everything about them is pretty haphazard except their stunning ability to make people not care.
*warning-melodrama ahead-warning*
The thing about them is they're just such a mockery of the show in nearly every way that I can't help but feel less about the show because it's obvious Joss doesn't respect it at all, and he certainly doesn't seem to respect my favorite character. I don't see them as canon--Buffy's chilling on a beach in The Boot--but I still can't help but feel they diminish the show because of that. That's why I axed my fandom journal 'cause I really didn't feel like talking about the show for awhile.
Anyway /random 3am rambling in elisi's journal.

Rather. Although this post might make you smile. :)

Oh I hear ya. I think Joss' brain broke, or something. The upside is that no one outside comics (or hardcore fandom) even knows that s8 exists, so the *show's* status (and Buffy's) in the wider world goes unchanged!
That's why I axed my fandom journal 'cause I really didn't feel like talking about the show for awhile.
That's perfectly understandable, although you are missed! (Dunno what I'd do if I hadn't found another fandom. Cry, probably.)

Good times! (Rambling is one of my favourite things about LJ!)

Oh, I don't know. To me he's just become resentful of his own creation. But yeah, it's true, barely anyone knows about them. Even just about everyone I knew who reads them in a cracky way are all yeeeeeeeahh, right, Whedon.
Dunno what I'd do if I hadn't found another fandom.
Read a lot! Like me. :P The reason I started this new LJ was because I wanted to join a book-sharing group (much easier than going to the library) and they wouldn't let me have the old one back.
no subject
Having read a few reviews, I think he might be doing what many people have done before - used his creation to tell a story/put across a message etc. Unfortunately, I don't think it's *their* story, and in the process he's completely ruined them, because he had to bend them out of shape to make them fit. Meh.
Even just about everyone I knew who reads them in a cracky way are all yeeeeeeeahh, right, Whedon.
That's about right.
Read a lot! Like me. :P
Yeah, that's probably true! *loves books*
