Dude, this post is like an existential mediation on the ever-changing relationship between semi-omnipotent observer and subject.
when I started getting into fandom after seeing the whole series, there were a couple of huge surprises in store for me.
Yes. Just...yes.
I also really enjoy Beer Bad. I think it's like the fluffy S1 episodes, but much more enjoyable because now we have three years of character development behind everyone's goofiness.
I totally agree the beer bad (but foamy) lesson is pretty tongue in cheek. IIRC, there's significant financial incentives for American shows to have anti-drug messages in the storylines once in a while, and I really enjoy seeing that turned on its head. (See also The Dark Age: you, too, can watch a buddy die during an LSD-fueled orgy and still grow up to become a successful member of the secret society keeping the world from doom!)
Funniest moments have to be a tie between Buffy whacking Parker, and Giles, Xander, and Caveslayer.
