Saturday — The Gathering Continues [for TCH: lasting 1070 minutes ;-)]
Morning. Brunch by the pool. cjl wears the cheese. Fresne performs the cheese. Scroll eats the cheese. Pictures are taken by many. Food and fun had by all. Minor discussion with mention of names from Buffy, thus fittingly giving us a "round table" discussion. We left eventually to go back inside where Buffy viewing was available, leaving LadyS and Sarah outside talking about the creation of (in Lady's words) "stuff." Dub and Leona join us, and we have the passing of the Wisewoman beanie. [With pictures…evil grin].
A viewing of The Body with commentary was accompanied by sniffles and a few tears, and a request for something light-hearted, so Tabula Rasa was put on… and MST3K'd. [Hard to give details…way too much snickering]. Surprise expressed that Willow knows a spell. "Erm!" Giles is loudly exhorted not to leave. It's observed that if Giles leaves Buffy will sleep with Spike, although he is right that he's not needed for Buffy to have dumpster sex. Spike enters amid much notice of how 'hot' he looks and that tweed will protect from anything. Ooooo… Giles drooling over, errrr… on Anya, the best couple on the show is begun, even if she's an older woman. Willow's great use of her hands to make sure she's indeed female. Much applause as Spike is welcomed to the nancy tribe [of which Masq (Nancy) is the premiere member]. Argument over wanting to see Randy taken over Rupert's knee. "Erm!!" Rupert and Anya's owning of the magic shop of chicanery and balderdash is seen as entrepreneurial and strangely profitable. Cheers over the "money shot." The vampires break in and all run around with "jazz hands." Rupert and Randy hug!!! Slash!!! Incestuous slash!!! Hmmmm…there's never any sewage or poo-gas in the sewers…spackle applied with trowel…these are the travel-sewers, not the icky-sewers. Subtexty goodness, okay, texty goodness…Tara…Willow…faces almost together. Anya and Rupert…the perfect bickering couple; and bunnies. Swash, Rupert…Buckle…fight that skeleton! Cheering. Rupert and Anya…so themselves…calm the nasty lion-roaring creature by giving it jewelry. "Erm!!!!" and much wooooohooooo!!! over Rupert/Anya kissage. Tara looks at broken crystal…"Get away from me… you awful person… you raped my mind… again." Back to depressive Buffy from bouncy Buffy. Sing-along to Goodbye to You. "Noooooooooo…" over Giles leaving…"Don't go!!!" Final kiss…determined to be hot with a little devouring, but no real chewing…more gustatory! "Grrrrrr….Arrrgh!!" … "Erm….Arrrgh!!" LOL!!
LadyS reminds us all that she is 'pervy and strange' by pointing out that we have glasses here thus no need for bathroom breaks for the technicians [i.e the one with the computer hooked up to the TV].
Discussion of Buffy politics raises some interesting discussion of 'collective action' vs. 'anarchy' vs. the 'feminist' message. That in Buffy one can find just about everything. Question raised as to whether the views presented are more academic than political in that we are more encouraged to think about the issues than to follow anything in specific. We then proceed to demonstrate this in microcosm by attempting to order pizza, which d'H points out proves why the collective must break down in The Yoko Factor. [snicker]. Quick attempt to decide so that the water slide can be utilized as soon as possible. Water sliders miss the watching of Normal Again with commentary [evil snicker]. Followed by a viewing of the panel discussion with James, Aly, Nick, Michelle, Marti and Joss [sighs happily and appreciates Rob's lovely green tint]. Dissension arises in the room when Joss says he watched OMWF more than anyone. Joss' response to the dark turn of season six: "oops." At the same time he maintains "How about DarkWillow…wasn't she cool?" Joss spoils for season seven: "Some of our characters don't want to die! Tune in!" Question: "At the end of the show wasn't Spike trying to get his chip out?" Joss: "Nooooo…but you were meant to believe that. It was something I invented called a [air quotes] plot twist". Nick (as rain man): "I saved the world. I saved the worrrrld… I saaaaaved the worrrrrrld." Question: "Amber Benson…couldn't she just have been wounded?" Nick: "She was…it was just mortal."
In the continuing demonstration of the breakdown and subsequent reunion of collective action, approximately an hour after the first discussion of the pizza choices, the ingredients are agreed upon and pizzas are actually ordered. Yay us.
A short intermission was taken while people changed into costume. [Yes, there are pictures, but the offers of chocolate to see the pictures aren't measuring up to the suppression offers]. Pizza and no alcoholic beverages [snicker] were consumed while the group watched Chosen. Then Masquerade was presented with an Honorary Doctorate from Buffyversity for her work on the philosophy of Buffy.
Festivities continued with the OMWF sing-along which, if I do say so myself, we rendered with style, gusto, volume…and, oh yes, talent. Incredible talent. Joss would have been jealous of the talent in this room. Heck… I was jealous of the talent in the room, lol. Interestingly enough, the volume and gusto was also, ah, outstanding. Not to mention the dancing ;-) wowee! Numfar and Sweet, move over! We have the moves, baby.
Waiting in the Wings with commentary. A partial episode of "Cordy!. Darla. More commentary. People drifting away to their rooms eventually leaving just a small group: Fresne, Karen, Caroline, LadyS, anom, cjl and your Chronicler. Discussion of books, music, dance, musicals accompanied by the background music of ASH's Music for Elevators and the Buffy soundtrack [cjl plays a mean air guitar]. Pictures of Fresne dancing [grin]. LadyS finally succumbing to the closed-eyes syndrome and heading off to bed. OMWF put on CD and a second, smaller but no less enthusiastic sing-along followed with fabulous use of arms and hands for expression. Let me just say y'all missed it. Bwaa-haaahahaha.
End of days, bring on the night…sleeper(s)…us. Finally.
