Possibly my last post of the night...

What's the deal with fandom and "Doublemeat Palace"? In a season of Angst, Angst and Woe, it's an ep with silly hats, icky monsters, a cannibalism misdirect, and a sly sideways look at fast food appreciated by all of us who've stood on that side of cash register. It even has wall!sex, if that's your thing.

So why, when people talk about lameness in S6, does that ep always come up? Come on, Two to Go? Way lamer.

I giggle at "Beer Bad", too. I admit it. I think the key is that a lame episode has to have some saving grace to it. Like "Him" has the rocket launcher scene, or WTWTA has Giles singing. I will put up with a lot to watch Buffy spinning in her chair or conking Parker on the head. :)

EXACTLY. Those examples are perfect!
