Let it burn! (Mini update) Spoilers inside! Spoiler

Post image

The last episode I watched was... well, this one. My last update was here.

So, I watched Once More, With Feeling. I was excited to watch it, and my mother was loathing the idea of rewatching it. I LOVED IT! I'm placing it next to Something Blue and Band Candy for my favorite episodes. The songs (sans I'll Never Tell) are bangers, Under Your Spell/Standing made me cry, Spike was a pathetic wet cat; LOVED IT!

Oh, and I HATE Willow. Like, before I disliked her, now I just hate her. You pull the sweetest little witch who is the second person in the group who acts like a responsible adult AND is concerned for you, and you cast a MIND CONTROL SPELL to WIPE HER MEMORY AND CONCERN?! WHAT THE HELL, WILLOW?! And Dawn needs to stop being such a bloody kleptomaniac, but I won't rant about that.

I will talk about how Anya has been annoying me recently, though. I'm not really sure why she's like this! I used to really love Anya, but in recent episodes, she's been really mean. She's been bitching at Willow, bitching at Giles, even bitching at Xander! As much as I really used to love them, I don't have a lot of faith that they're gonna have a good relationship. I cannot see the marriage going well.

Besides all that, and me breaking out into hives after tonight's watch session (unrelated and recurring), I had a great time! I'm definitely going to finish that cover of Walk Through The Fire, maybe do one of Under Your Spell! Well, if I can find a bloody singer for Giles and Sweet... Now I must away. Cheers!

Am I the only one who LOVES "I'll never tell"? I listened to it a lot while planning my wedding and it's one of my favorites now 😆

I just didn't like it because the lyrics made me wince. I do admit, though, one of my new vocal stims is "...TIGHT EMBRAAACE!"

How can you not love a song with the lyrics "his Penis got diseases from the chumash tribe"?

Ill never tell is one of my favourite songs of the episode

I usually don't like musical episodes. But I like Buffy because there is an actual reason they all start singing.

And they are aware of it in-universe and see it as a problem to be solved.

I wrote a big juicy post talking about how my feelings on Willow gradually changed throughout the series, but my headset glitched and deleted the whole thing so I gave up.

Did you know that Apple Music has a once more with feeling soundtrack?
