The Last Chocolate in the Box

[mishalak]

Today, after getting up early and cleaning, I popped a videodisc in my computer from Buffy Season 3. It was an interesting experience because I'd only ever seen the last five minutes of Amends so it was almost like having a brand spanking new episode to watch. That was grand fun. So now the only episode I've not seen is one from season 6 that I'm not sure if I want to see or not. Though I think there are also some episodes of Angel I've missed. Though I don't have any of those on disc.

But hey I've grabbed the next to last chocolate from the box and it was a marzipan one. ♥ Glee! ♥ Now I feel like writing.

I find it ironic that you write about this today as I just finished watching season 7 (again) on DVD last night. It came with a sense of finality and we were commenting on how I'd now seen almost every episode of Buffy twice and all of them at least once. (One of the most notable exceptions to the twice rule being an episode in season 6.)

I remember how exciting it was to have 'new' episodes to watch from season four and five when I was racing through judith_dascoyne's DVD sets.

Curiosity draws me out to ask you which season 6 episode you haven't seen.

The one I missed would be "Normal". I think that was the title. The one where it is all like she's insane and imagining Sunnydale. The Buffy where they went all last episode of St. Elsewhere. I doubt I want to see it.

Ironically, 'Normal Again' would be the self-same season 6 one that I've only seen the once. I watched it live when it came out and opted not to rewatch it when I was rewatching the rest of season 6.

It's important to the fluidity of the storyline, it's a great episode, very well written ... but in all honesty, if you've seen one story's version of it, then you don't necessarily need to see Buffy's. When I watched it, I felt like I was in the middle of watching Brazil all over again.

I spend enough time questioning my own sanity, I don't need an episode of Buffy to help me do that.

It's worth watching the once, but definitely not going to ruin anyone's enjoyment of Buffy if you've managed to miss it altogether.
