Meanwhile, in the land of the housemate

snick_backup- "I could definitely be in love with Principal Wood." He does have a special something, doesn't he? Although she says he's less attractive now that he has a vendetta.
- Of Wood and Giles alone, during LMPTM: "I just realized: here are two really good-looking men, and they are so totally different." And it is the truth!
- Housemate (without any prompting at all): "I really don't like Kennedy. She doesn't understand the gravity of the situation."
Me: But she's awfully cute, isn't she?
Housemate: Yeah, in that, 'I'm cute because I was made to look cute so I am cute' way.
[True fact: Kennedy may still drive me up the wall, but Iyari Limon is growing on me. Who knew a living human being could have eyes that big?
At any rate, the housemate's good taste and sense persist.]
- Likes Andrew and wants to be his buddy. See what I said about her good taste?
- Me (during a flashback to Spike in the subway in FFL): You know, he has really nice arms.
Housemate: He really does. They're the kind of arms you go "Ow ow" over.
Me: Yes.
- Liked Potential and Storyteller quite a lot, which was to be expected. Also very much liked LMPTM and Get It Done, which I didn't expect. She said she liked the Going to War Music in Get It Done, and Spike getting his coat and his swagger back, and him beating up the demon to the Going to War Music, and the growing tension between him and Wood. (Although now she wishes they'd gone a bit more subtle with it in LMPTM. She thought Wood gripping the stake and having blood dribble down was giggle-worthy.)
- Observation by housemate: Whenever this show wants to show that Things are Bad around town, it lights fires in barrels. We all lose our voices? Fire barrels strewn along the streets, right across from the guy preaching the end of the world on his whiteboard. Demon bikers come to town? They light fire barrels. The hellmouth incites the student population to riot? Fire barrels.
What's up with that?
- Overall: likes S7 much better than S6. I remind her that she actually liked parts of S6 - like, say, the beginning and the end - but it seems the Spike/Buffy sexfest scarred her to the point that that's all she remembers of the season. Whereas I'd talked this season down so much that apparently anything was better than I made it sound. *g*
