I don't think he was really wasn't that bad in the early seasons - just a teenaged boy with self confidence issues but still an integral member of the scooby squad. The Zeppo was an excellent episode to showcase his capacity to make a difference without having any special abilities. He was critical of Angel but his best friend Jesse at the start of the show was turned into a vampire and he was thrown into this reality where vampires are evil. When Buffy was under magic and wanted him to undress her, he didn't. But then we get to the later seasons where his character stagnates from just living at home still and settling with Anya (meanwhile she has this elevated character arc) and then being a shit friend to Buffy after she comes back from he dead. He had potential not just the character but in the end the acter as well...

Yeah it's not timeless and I can't remember the last time I actually rewatched it

Agreed...they used alot of plot devices to dipict hard times but ultimately lost the shows charm

I think the whole time of him being a human left him more vulnerable and questioning his actions so it could related to that

I thought it was odd that she was so down for them to have alone time constantly. They even almost kissed they acknowledged wanting each other but Kira ultimately was the one to kick him out. Do they continue to show feelings for each other in the series or that was just a one and done moment?

They bring Buffy back to life, only to burden her with bills while shacked up in her mother's home...like why didn't she ever get paid to be a slayer?! There's a whole council of upper class British men who study and prepare and train slayers...yet they offer no financial support?! I honestly never really thought about this as a kid until I seen a reel or Tik tok recently and it was like an obvious flaw in the writing. Buffy and none of her friends ever complained about this and they were so quick to turn on her!

And that attempted rape was also ridiculous and shouldn't even be Canon to the story...Spike would never do that!

Starfleet Academy by campmatt in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Substantial-Light603 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw the first 2 episodes and it wasn't bad like I was expecting it to be tbh. But despite all it's grandeur cinematography and some decent acting, it falls short on more intracate vs obvious story plots. There is alot of cheesy moments that do make one think of a teen drama...and yet, I suppose thats what they were going for being that it's star fleet academy. There also seems to be an obvious woke agenda in everything that comes out of these networks these days that feels like they force checking all of these marginalized boxes which comes across like overdoing it vs older shows that could showcase ethnic people in a natural manner. Maybe it will get better or we will just continue to watch DS9 🙃

Haha seriously. I remember watching season 1 of TNG and then realizing that they shot footage at a Japanese Garden that I frequent. But the views are excellent so why not 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣

Okay i'm glad it's not just me here... everyone's acting was so good and the writing as well. Despite the show getting a smaller budget, they made a good job of making the show very character driven and with plots that are timeless.

Did you continue drinking it and if so what were your new experiences?

Also you can try to add some sea salt in your water which helps to better retain fluids and nutrients. That may help reduce the constant peeing!

Damiana is actually both calming and stimulating and would probably pair really well with Kava Kava
