Once More, With Feeling (ej avsnittet) Spoilers BtVS&AtS

[caffeineaddict]

Cordelia ser Angel för första gången i "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date":

Hello, salty goodness!

Cordelia *tror* hon ser Angel för första gången sex år senare i "Spin the Bottle":

Hello, salty goodness!

Cordelia i "The Puppet Show" plågar Giles från scenen:

Becauuuuuse the greeeeeeeatest love of aaaaall..

Coredlia utan minne sjunger för Lorne i "Slouching Towards Bethlehem":

Becauuuuuuuse the greeeeeatest love of aaaaaall....

Willow tvingas försöka sjunga Madame Butterfly i "Nightmares". Och tre år senare i "Restless", också i en mardröm:

This isn't Madame Butterfly, is it? Because I have a whole problem with opera.

[sfinx]

Oj vilken spännande tråd! Återvänder till Firefly, bara kort.

I Safe:
när Simon blivit bortrövad och River hittat honom säger hon:
"Lost in the wood..."

Jag reagerade när såg om avsnittet och är inte helt säker, men tror att Innara gör samma uttalande om Mal när hon och Book får sitt första vettiga samtal i Serenity.

Mer.

Darla vill att Angel ska bli ond i "Dear Boy":

God doesn't want you. But I still do.

The Master gör Darla till vampyr ett par hundra år tidigare i "Darla":

God never did anything for you. But I will.

Och de två mest uppenbara (för uppenbara kanske eftersom ingen har nämnt dem?):

Faith i Buffys kropp i "Who Are You?", tre gånger:

Because it's wrong.

Och Doyle i början och slutet av "Hero", och man får även se delar av det i "You're Welcome":

DOYLE: If you need help. Then look no further. Angel Investigations is the best! Our rats are low.

CORDELIA: Rates!

DOYLE: It says 'rats'. Our rates are low, but our standards are high. When the chips are down, and you're at the end of your rope you need someone that you can count on. And that's what you'll find here. Someone who will go all the way, who'll protect you no matter what. So don't lose hope. Come on over to our offices and you'll see that there's still heroes in this world. Is that it? Am I done?

Faith i Buffys kropp i "Who Are You?", fyra gånger:

Because it's wrong.

Fyra gånger? Jag har hjärnsläpp. I spegeln, till Spike och till vampyren i kyrkan. Fjärde gången?

[CheeseGuy]

Faith i Buffys kropp i "Who Are You?", fyra gånger:

Because it's wrong.

Fyra gånger? Jag har hjärnsläpp. I spegeln, till Spike och till vampyren i kyrkan. Fjärde gången?

Nej, det var jag som hade hjärnsläpp. Tre ska det vara.

Edit: om man inte räknar två gånger framför spegeln.

David Greenwalts favoritskämt:

WILLOW: Oz is a werewolf.
BUFFY: It's a long story.
OZ: I got bit.
BUFFY: Apparently not that long.

XANDER: Oh, God! What did you two do to each other?
BUFFY: Long story.
CORDELIA: Got hunted.
BUFFY: Apparently not that long.

ANGEL:It's complicated how this all happened, Buffy, you know? It's kind of a long story.
BUFFY: You're new sidekick had a vision, I was in it, you came to Sunnydale?
ANGEL: Okay, maybe not that long.

Classic Greenwalt.

Faith i Buffys kropp i "Who Are You?", fyra gånger:

Because it's wrong.

Fyra gånger? Jag har hjärnsläpp. I spegeln, till Spike och till vampyren i kyrkan. Fjärde gången?

Fjärde gången kommer ju först två säsonger senare ...

Fast då är det riktiga Buffy som säger det till Tara i en av säsongens mest hjärtslitande scener:

BUFFY: What? Using him? What's okay about that?
TARA: It's not that simple.
BUFFY: It is! It's wrong. I'm wrong. Tell me that I'm wrong, please... Please don't forgive me, please...

Återanvändningen av Faith-in-Buffys fras visar ytterligare hur långt Buffy har hamnat från sig själv och från sina värderingar. Mörkret och den känslomässiga förlamningen har hotat att ta över henne totalt. Buffy vet mycket väl hur "fel" situationen är och hoppas därför desperat att det ska vara något yttre fel på henne som kan förklara och i viss mån ursäkta hennes beteende. När så inte är fallet bryter hon här ihop totalt, vilket kanske var nödvändigt för att hon sedan långsamt skulle kunna hitta tillbaka till sig själv.

Först citatet i min signatur från The Prom i säsong 3:

Buffy: No! You guys are going to have a prom. The kind of prom that everyone should have. I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it.
Xander: Yay?

Och sedan detta från As You Were i säsong 6:

ANYA: No! I've been through too much planning this wedding, and it is *going* to happen. It is going to be our perfect, perfect day if I have to kill every one of our guests and half this town to do it.
XANDER: Mm. (looks at her bag of chips) Cool Ranch?

Tillbaka till den här mycket intressanta tråden som inte får falla i glömska! En liten exposé över uttrycken there's my girl/that's my girl:

Från rara uttryck av stolthet över en flickvän (hur udda hon nu än råkar vara):

ANYA: (to woman) Please go.

XANDER: Anya, the Shopkeeper's Union of America called. They wanted me to tell you that "please go" just got replaced with "have a nice day".

ANYA: But I have their money. Who cares what kind of day they have?

XANDER: No one. It's just a long cultural tradition of raging insincerity. Embrace it.

ANYA: Hey, you! Have a nice day.

XANDER: There's my girl!

och:

GUNN: That's my girl. Large and in charge. OK, teensy-weensy and in charge.

eller

GUNN: Aw, that's my girl! Ah! All right. Hand this thing over. Let me check it out.

FRED: Page 19. I-it's not a big article. Not like it's featured, or anything.

eller faderlig stolthet över en duktig (och/eller udda) dotter:

TRISH: Hey! You got everything packed, baby? What about that shirt with the bug guts on it? You-you threw that out, right? You're not taking it home, right?

FRED: I don't know. I kinda thought I'd take it with me - guts and all. You know, as a souvenir.

ROGER: Ah. That's my girl!

och alldeles särskilt stolt var ju:

Mayor: This isn't a free ride, young lady. You know, I'm beginning to think that somebody's getting a little spoiled. Maybe I should take this back.
Faith: (clutches the present) Sorry... Sir.
Mayor: That's my girl. (chuckles) Another cookie?

Från fun and games till bråddjupaste allvar i förhållandet Buffy/Spike:

Buffy: Aren't they a perfect little us?

Spike: I don't like him. He's insipid. Clearly human.

Buffy: Oo, red paint. We could smear a little on his mouth! blood of the innocent..

Spike: That's my girl..

Giles: Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking.

SPIKE: Come on, that's it, put it on me. Put it all on me. That's my girl.
BUFFY: I am not your girl!

(Buffy gets on top of him and begins hitting him over and over.)

BUFFY: You don't ... have a soul! There is nothing good or clean in you. You are dead inside! You can't feel anything real! I could never ... be your girl!

Kan inte låta bli här att dra parallellen till den något liknande scenen i Consequences 3 år tidigare, när Buffy provoceras till att drämma till Faith. I säsong 6 har hon ju verkligen gått över den gräns hon såg Faith balansera kring och hon har blivit det som hon var mest rädd för... Foreshadowing igen:

Faith: I've seen it, B. You've got the lust. And I'm not just talking
about screwing vampires.

Buffy stops in her tracks.

Buffy: Don't you *dare* bring him into this.

Faith: It was good, wasn't it? The sex? The danger? Bet
a part of you even dug him when he went psycho.

Buffy: No!

Faith: See, you need me to toe the line because you're afraid
you'll go over it, aren't you, B? You can't handle watching me living my
own way, having a blast, because it tempts you! You know it could be
you!

Buffy has had enough. She stops, faces her and backhand punches her in
the jaw. Faith comes up smiling wickedly.

Faith: There's my girl.

Sist, som liten fotnot, använder sig ju überelaka The First Evil av samma uttryck i sina Spikemanipulationer i Sleeper:

BUFFY/THE FIRST
You know you want it. You know I want you to.

YOUNG WOMAN
(following his glance, but seeing no one there) Um, is everything— (he vamps, she screams, he bites her)

BUFFY/THE FIRST
(smiles) There's my guy.

Uj! Vad det här blev långt..
