And lo on Thu, 14 Feb 2008 10:21:06 -0000, Invisible <voi### [at] devnull> did  
spake, saying:

>> Odd I've read the entry before it, I've read the entry after it, and  
>> the contents of the one you've linked to is familiar to me... so um yes  
>> I read it.

> OK... so why the demands? :-P

'I liked the Antlion tunnels, the lift took me two hours to get through, I  
hate hunters..." So how about Ravenholm, what about the water/driving  
segments, which weapon did/do you favour etc.

>>>> Wait one second you've seen this episode? *You've* watched Buffy the  
>>>> Vampire Slayer?
>>>
>>> Ooo, you're quick today. :-P
>>  Well I'd have been expected you to get confused, say WTF the lot, and  
>> then never watch another episode. :-)

It wasn't great.

>>> I have watched several, yes. I know somebody who is an utter Buffy  
>>> nutter. Personally I don't find it all that entertaining...
>>  What you don't find Giles entertaining "I just think it's rather odd

>> Willow "Excuse me - Jewish; not all of us worship Santa"

Not to mention the fighting, the lengthy storylines, the character  
development ...

>>> I prefer Charmed.

> If you can get over the fact that it's blatently shallow and silly,

Which I wouldn't have minded if that was the way it was shown, but it  
seems they take every shallow storyline as if it was of some great portent  
and play it totally straight; at least of the episodes I've seen.

> it's quite comic. Not something you can take too seriously, I feel.

Except as I say you don't get the feeling that the actors are having fun,  
they're taking it seriously.

> Much like Xena...

You're comparing Charmed to Xena... you are so dead :-P
