Yeah I’m just gonna say no they shouldn’t have animated those babies mouths that way. And I never need to hear Space Babies said again.
So. Much. Snogging! Welcome back, all of you! It’s like putting on one of Nick’s jumpers.
And now we wait again. I really tried to make it last this time. At least I was able to parcel it out over four days.
Totally didn’t end how I thought, where there’d only be a few bucks in the gift card.
I love that they animated Bob hitching up his pants just before lifting something.
Surprisingly touching, but for some reason I had trouble buying Linda’s obsession with the tree.
Okay, I really like James. Great addition to the cast and further differentiates Isaac from Aled.
Hearing the Mayhem play a Kiss cover is apparently all I ever wanted and I just never knew it. And then a new version of Can You Picture That? swoon Some of the new performers are a little tough to get used to, and Dr Teeth is a little too laid back, but he is an aging rock star at this point, I guess.
Nice twist that would make Hitchcock proud.
Workers unite! I’m surprised I haven’t seen socialist memes of Buffy standing with the hammer and sickle in this episode. I really wanted her to say she was the Slayer and see the demons freak out.
Never thought an episode of Bob’s Burgers would make me tear up, but so much of this episode is absolutely heart wrenching.
So weird to see Amy Adams in roles like this back then.
And I thought the first episode was dire. It’s just going to keep spiraling, isn’t it? Olivia Colman is brilliant, as usual.
As far as coming out episodes go, that was better than a lot. It only works because of pro sports being so homophobic though. But having George Hearn on the closing credits was brilliant.
Okay, first, don’t tease me with an Ab Fab episode and not deliver. At least we have a guest voice by Jane Lynch.
Mostly Godzilla, but a little bit Alien, down to the creepy scientist and a conspiracy, although governmental instead of corporate (is there a difference?)
Willow crying hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. This was a pretty angsty one.
What if Up All Night, but Buffy? And we’ll make it Buffy-lite and focus on Xander. And wow, I totally forgot that Xander’s first was Faith.
This bit of slayer lore just feels a little too made up. I mean, any Slayer that makes it to 18 should have already been tested ad nauseum, and what does 18 have to do with anything historical anyway?
The high point is Dick on the phone. It’s just nice rewatching this, like a warm blanket on a New England winter night.
Okay, I thought bringing in old characters was great, but really it was the Vista Cruiser was what I was waiting for.
James Marsters really does kick ass all over David Boreanaz in terms of characterization. Really upping the ante in terms of teen drama.
I think this is one of episodes that people really think of when they think classic Scooby-Doo. Monsters, fortune tellers, scary castles, and the villain spouting the "would've gotten away with it" line after being unmasked.

So many extras in this episode between the cafeteria workers and the neighbors for Dan’s classes.
They really went full on Ren Fair for this one, didn’t they?
Nice nails. Spike’s nails are one of the more interesting parts of this episode. Maybe I’m just not getting down with the existential angst in this one this time around.
That sonic looks fun. I wonder how many settings it has.
It feels like this episode is way more relevant now than it really should be.
This is what Inception should’ve been.
