Ugh, I’m totally going to catch hell for this, so I’m just gonna say it here…Ganon isn’t Mario’s villain! It’s LINK’S!
Drat. No geek cred for me this episode.
I came here expressly for the purpose of correcting your NES villain mix-up, but you already caught it. Dang.
Yes! Finally… enjoy your takes on the eppys, but boy do we have to wait
for a long time between updates!
The kitty is Ms. Kitty Fantastico.
You guys mentioned the part when Buffy is talking to Chris and she says something about knowing what it’s like to lose someone close to you. We find out later on that her cousin died in hospital and they were pretty close. It’s the episode with der Kinderstod. Maybe that’s who she meant when she said that? Just a thought.
Finally had a chance to catch up on my podcasts and got to listen to this one. Again you take an episode I didn’t care for that much and made an entirely enjoyable and well thought out episode based on it. For me it was the whole Giles love sick puppy thing that made this one worth watching. The main story was just annoying.
and I was going to comment on the Zelda thing, but I knew somebody was going to beat me to it… just didn’t expect it to be yourself.
Wow, I just finnished listening to all the episodes so far in the space of about two days, and I have to say that this is definately the best BTVS review podcast I have found so far. I love your format, especially since I am currently rewatching season 1 for the *counts on fingers* third time, I think. The last two eps have made me want to go out and buy season 2 just so I can rewatch episodes that I didn’t particularly like. Either you are doing something right, or I am just weird. Or possibly both…Anyways, keep up the good work. I hope to see new episodes soon.
wow. I completely wrote a responce in the wrong forum. If one wonders, it could be in the “forumz suspended” spot…
“What’s a podcast, Joss?” Oh, you guys are a riot!
