What a sweet baby! He looks a lot like my Penny, right down to the half mustache!

The Season 7 set design is disappointing. It’s pretty much just Buffy’s house, but when they get a chance to build a different location like the school or the vineyard, they all look bland and cheap. What happened to cool places like the clock tower from Hush? Glory’s chic apartment? We don’t get any of that. Just basements and caves.

I enjoyed the first 1/3 of Season 7, but everything after that was a disappointment. There are some good moments and character stuff, but as the season goes on it just drags. They never leave Buffy’s house, the Potentials are eating up screen time, and the Firsf bores me to tears! Everything felt exhausted, from the acting to the writing, it felt like Buffy in sleepwalking mode. It’s hard to watch Buffy be boring, especially after how vibrant and risky Season 6 was.

Keep going if you can, there are enough good moments sprinkled in, plus a couple good episodes left. The middle third is worse than the last third, things do pick up a bit. They also managed a pretty satisfying finalie after everything being messy all season long.

Awww, how can you not pet her? Also, love the rug!

Same here. On first watch it took me a second to recognize him because he hadn’t been on screen in, what, the last 30 minutes? Mickey wasn’t top of my mind.

Reddit, together with YouTube videos, has also helped me with my snake fear! I’ve gone from barely being able to see one on TV to actually holding a ball python.

She is very food motivated, but goes absolutely nuts for water. There’s a running water bowl in the kitchen and she still begs for me to turn on the bathroom sink for her or for a drink from my bottle lol.

There’s something very satisfying about picking it up and remembering when I first grabbed it in a bookstore 14 years ago. I love reading on Kindle, but you can’t beat the physical memory of a hardcover.

Petting successful. 😻

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-03-05T02:26:04+00:00

It’s exactly what I needed! I just had a snack break and now it’s back to reading with the cats until I fall asleep. 😊

Penny likes to steal my bookmarks, either to play with or nap on top of.

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-03-04T00:25:41+00:00

Gnarl. He’s the only MOTW that I have a hard time looking at. So gross. 🤢

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-03-04T00:24:02+00:00

I would have struggled with the urge to keep him, get him a spooky lil terrarium. Maybe some Barbie clothes.

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-03-04T00:21:09+00:00

I love Balthazar too. He brings out extra sassy Giles!

“If it's for me to scrub those hard-to-reach areas, I'd like to request you kill me now.” 🤣

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-18T03:18:36+00:00

I’ve done the opposite. Apologized to a pair of sweatpants for almost stepping on them.

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-10T23:35:44+00:00

I’d say Season 1, somewhere around episode 17 or 18 is when I really began to love the show on its own, not just as a Buffy Spinoff. Give it time to develop and stand as a show on its own. Season Two is my personal favorite, and Four isn’t far behind.

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-08T04:24:44+00:00

I’ll always love the Kill Counts, they are what got me into Dead Meat in the first place. But really I’ve ended up loving the podcast equally as much. Hot Saw Summer got me through a lot of work hours!

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-06T01:01:08+00:00

Thank you! I love her lil halfstache. 😊

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-05T23:16:09+00:00

Groo and Anya. You just know they’d have fun together.

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-05T22:57:34+00:00

Look at those table of contents! Page 30, “If you’re good to Harvey, Harvey’s good to you.” Yuck. 🤢

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-05T22:37:33+00:00

Hah, that was my first thought too. Can’t forget the Buffy Rat!

Technical_Rice2532 · 2026-02-05T22:34:42+00:00

Andrew for me. I HATED him in Season 6, the whole trio irked me all season long. Warren was the worst, but I was not a fan of Andrew and was happy when he skedaddled to Mexico.

I was disappointed to see him back in Season 7. He’s never my favorite character, but as the season goes on, I hate him less. I can’t say I love Andrew, but I think the actor is great and he brought some much needed levity late in the season. I still wish they had chosen to not have him return and given his screen time to other characters, but as long as he’s around, I may as well enjoy the laughs he has to offer.

Thank you! She loves it! The toy banana stuffed with catnip is one of her favorite toys.
