First off, I’m so glad you guys haven’t let the technical problems keep you down!
k…on to “Ted”. I’m interested by what was said about Buffy’s metabolism. I think this is something that Joss dropped the ball on. It stands to reason that her metabolism would be “super-charged”, and this should have made her have had a different experience in this, and “Beer Bad”, at least. The ‘watcher’s-test’ drug for her 18th would still probably have the same effect, as it would have been designed specifically for slayers. I wonder if her slayer-metabolism would also have an effect on her aging?
Keep up the good work, gang–we love it!
re: buffy’s metabolism, cordy was already passed out before buffy was, but we don’t know how much earlier cordy passed out. yeah cordy woke up before buffy, but again, we don’t know how much earlier she woke up
Shannon, I liken your voice on this pod.-ep. to a fluffy, angora sweater. Until you came out with your closet-escapades
laughter. I’ve also come to appreciate your laugh, but it’s not so fluffy. Would fanfic about Faith/lesb.-Buffy ever
be called Fluffy? And Jason, don’t take any of my comment as forward, but your voice is sexy as always! At 19:52, the
buzz (from a dimmer switch?) ruins the ‘marriage’ of your voices to the recording. Thank the gods that interference lasts only 9.3 mins.. I like using the adjective ’snarky’, but smarmy looks cooler on you. Don’t you think? That’s right… Some say ‘Bad Eggs’ is the WORST of all 144. Regardless, I still look forward to all of your upcoming ‘casts.
Anyone see a contact for these people? I wanted to send an email and can’t find one. I hope they will keep doing these. I don’t see one for december.
Hey guys. We haven’t heard from you in a while! I love listening to your podcast at work, its the only thing that makes that last hour tolerable. Seriously. Please come back. We needs more.
yes what happened? More Please!
I’m not sure why everyone bags on this episode, as well as on “Bad Eggs” – despite the fact that they don’t advance the plotline of the Season 2 story arc much (if at all), they’re incredibly fun, indulgent episodes that I think are quirky & well done. “Ted” is still fun to watch, despite the fact that I’ve seen it at least 10 times now. I just think it’s great, but maybe it’s just me
Keep up the good work – eventually I’ll get caught up with the Podcast so I can hear the new episodes as you record them!
