Buffy 1x02 The Harvest 1/26@11pm ET

g’night Robin & AT!

It had its moments. I especially like the Jessie death scene. You can see the artistic brush strokes of Joss.

I couldn’t believe Angel showed up. He was around that early?

The citizens of Sunnydale are almost Lois-Lanian in their ability to ignore the obvious. There’s actually a throwaway line about people dying from “neck rupture” later in the series. :slight_smile:

Such light-hearted and humble beginning for the show. I liked it, but it’s a totally different vibe from from later Buffys or Angel.

BTW, I don’t understand how they explained away a bunch of dead teenagers.

he was in most, if not all of the 1st season episodes and plays an even bigger role in S2

Even earlier, going by the flashbacks on his show.

ever read Salem’s Lot? It?

Suicides, runaways, sex slaves, you know, the usual. :smiley:

humans have a great capacity to ignore what they can’t deal with, or so says Joss. and Stephen King, and probably more I can’t recall at the moment

Like their carotids’ spontaneously combust.LOL I like that the mysticism of short-term memory is never fully delved. It’s good that people don’t remember the horrible craaaap they see in Sunnydale. There’d be no one left.

well, talos and Tray, I’m impressed with you for coming along. hang in, and I promise you won’t regret. or just wait till the meetup, and we’ll show you some handpicked eps from later in the series, and you’ll be hooked for sure

Wow I was just going over Joss’ resume. The Buffy movie was his first written by. I did not know that. He worked on the screenplay for Toy Story and was a story editor for Roseanne.

But there’s got to be limit to that capacity! A handful of teenagers bitten to death, in front of two hundred witnesses, with matching corpses and corroborating puncture wounds on the neck. I mean, come on!

Oh, well. I guess it’s all the better that Sunnyvalians don’t realize what’s going on around them. Otherwise, they’d all move, and we’ll have no show.

I’ve got some work to do, so I’m going to bid you fine people good night. much fun, as always

Hey D!! The frakkbunny1 is back. I miss Mal already. His dancing is mesmerizing unlike my moves that change weather systems.

Well, y’all. It’s been fun. See ya for Trek Tuesdays!! Woot!!!

Oh, I’ll probably keep watching. It’s either this or Knightrider. :eek:

By the way, are we going to continue doing this, or was this a one-off? Aren’t Mondays usually taken?

suspension of disbelief, sweetie. just go with it. you know, like when 50,000 demons show up on the streets of LA, or when the sun goes dark, or when fire rains from the sky

Good night all! Twas fun, it twas.

Good night!

Night!

Yeah, Mondays are for Chuck and Heroes. We can keep doing Mondays until they come back sometime in mid-Feb.
