PIMP!

Grrrrr! I was editing this, and accidently deleted the entry! Gah! So sorry to all those people whose comments disappeared! But at least I got the main post back! *sigh*

Plans for tonight are: Watching As You Were! "Why?" You might ask... It is a loathsome episode with a clumsy plot and Riley is portrayed as 'the great big hero' (grrr! Captain Cardboard and his too perfect wife!). But - I have just read one of the most brilliant essays ever, and suddenly I have understood that As You Were is a very clever and sophisticated episode! It's written by [livejournal.com profile] theohara and you can find it here! Go read now! Or, just in case you're all busy with this Christmas thing that's happening in a few days time, save it to your memories and read later! I seriously cannot recommend this highly enough!

A perfect companion piece to this essay is [livejournal.com profile] jonesiexxx's post about Buffy's state of mind in AYW, and why she turns into Silly!Buffy the moment Riley arrives.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] theohara has another post (from the day after the essay) where she issues a challenge: You get to write AYW. Utterly, utterly hilarious! Go! Read! Laugh!
