h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Finally! Finally some-one who thinks - just like me - that season 5 was really good! I just loved Glory...

Lol, and why is it gay guys always have such a soapy personal life? (I've just read you're ads about 'Adam and Danny' and I really recognise the situation)

I don't usually have a soapy life, I'm usually quite normal. It's very annoying. Glory was the best Big Bad ever! I just loved the way she acted, seeing Buffy as totally irrelevant and pretty much taking the pi*s until it was too late. She was jokey, cartoony and larger than life but I think her best performance was in Weight of the World (a highly underrated episode) when she was talking to Dawn about the nature of humanity. We had her down as some dimwit and yet she comes up with some of the most insightful observations of the show. Season 5 just had the best performances from almost everyone, they still haven't done a more powerful episode than The Body and Xander was awesome in Into the Woods, I still think of that speech and tremble at its brilliance.

My favourite moment of season 5 is - cliché - a scene from 'The Body'. When Xander and Anya arrive at Willow's place, Anya just doesn't stop asking painful questions, like she doesn't understand what's going on and doesn't care about the feelings of the others. But when someone finally tells her to stop, she gives this answer that made me totalu emotional. She acts as if it's because she's been a demon, she doesn't understand the whole dead-issue. And from that point of view, the writers have given the best way of describing the feeling of loosing somebody I have ever seen/read...

And Glory simply rocked.

Anya's reaction still makes me cry because I few tears ago I had to tell me cousin, who was only 4, why his mum wasn't going to wake up again. i think we all have Anya's reaction, why can't they just get up? We just hide it. On a happier note, I also love Real Me, it's just such a funny episode. Harmony is a great character

Harmony is becoming a regular in the season of Angel that's running now in the U.S. (I'm kind of cheating: I'm watching the eps on Kazaa). But I have to say that I think she's kind of disapointing over there. It all seems a little... unnatural, overdone. But maybe that gets better... Spike, on the other hand is doing really well on 'Angel', but I guess I can't say anything more over here, for spoilers sake...

I don't mind Angel spoilers as I don't really care about it. Also I know *Spoiler warning for anyone eavesdropping on my conversation* that Spike dies in Chosen. I don't know any details though

Well, yeah, but if I tell about Spike on Angel, I have to tell about what happened to Spike at the end of s7, and I guessed you wouldn't want to hear about that...

You'll be able to say in two weeks anyway, I'll have seen Chosen by then

Hey, what did you think about 'Storyteller'? One of my favourites of season seven... Most adorable line: 'These speeches tend to be quite long, so I wont put it all on tape.' Or something like that, don't remember it exactly. But Buffy's endless speeches were one of the only things that bothered me a little about s7, so the self-criticism of the writers there was like 'Hey, we're sorry, these speeches in our story, we know they're not the best solution, but yeah, we're trying...'

My biggest criticism of this season has been 'why don't you give characters something to do or kill them off?' and Andrew was one of the characters until this ep. There's always been potential for him to be very good, it's just he had nothing to do but this episode changed that. I hope his crush for Xander comes to something or at least gets revealed.
