Observations, mainly on Buffy

lls_mutantAnd a little on Toby. I'm so proud of him. He sat through me reading The Lorax and the entire The Sneetches and Other Tales book. This kid has one heck of an attention span, I like to think. (16 months soon. Wow.)
1.) Dear Harry Potter fandom,
Rupert Giles and Remus Lupin are not the same people, just because they're British. Thank you.
Love,
Me.
2.) Willow is so. freaking. adorable. SO cute.
3.) However, I will not say that Xander is being an idiot. Not at this point. Actually, I have a lot of respect right now for Xander. Why? Xander is totally aware that Willow is crazy about him, and that with a little bit of effort, he could probably get her to sleep with him. And unless Xander is 100% gay, how can he not be somewhat attracted to Willow on a physical level? But despite the fact that Xander is a horny teenage boy, he has too much respect and too much love for Willow to take advantage of what he must know to be true. And I'm positive the thought has crossed his mind, like in the frist episode of Season 2. You can't force a feeling, and I can't be mad at Xander for not feeling what Willow wants him to feel.
4.) Best visual gag ever? Xander frantically trying to find a stake in Buffy's purse, finding a tampon instead, and doing the "GAH! EW, NO!" thing with his hands. Hehehehehehehe. I laughed so hard at that, because every teenage boy I know would so do that. Well, almost every one.
5.) Okay, we've met Spike now. How in the world did a certain sector of fandom decide that Draco Malfoy is Spike? Really? Here's what they have in common so far: 1.) they're blond. 2.) they have English accents. That's IT. Okay, Spike thinks humans are beneath him and Draco thinks non-purebloods are beneath him, but that's apples and oranges. What seems to be a better comparison would be that Spike thinks humans are beneath him and Draco thinks cows and pigs and rutabegas are beneath him. Get what I'm saying? Maybe the mystery will become clearer as we forge on in Buffy.
6.) Favorite ship so far: Giles/Miss Calender.
7.) My new theory, especially now that I know Willow survives the series because I totally peeked at Wikipedia: Kaylee Frye is Willow's great great great great... great granddaughter. There's a definite similarity there in that they're very bright women who are adorable and sweet and yet can stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves pretty darn well.
8.) The student death rate at Sunnydale High is extremely high. Is this not worrying the parents?
9.) Boy, Seth Green was a skinny little thing back then, huh? It amazes me a bit that fandom seems to equate Giles to Remus when Oz is the werewolf. (I didn't even need to peek to know that one.) Why aren't there fics with Remus playing lead guitar in Lobulugs ate my Pigmy Puff?
10.) The girl who played the Incan Mummy (and I kept thinking the name was Empada, like the dish) really was very, very pretty.
Hmmm. Must make myself a Buffy icon. Preferably with Willow.
