Current Talk '07 I / Valentines Day Episode?

« on: February 15, 2007, 01:19:57 AM »

This morning I saw that FX had interrupted their regular Buffy tVS schedule to air the Valentines Day ep from Season 2 (Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered [in which Angelus impresses Drusilla by giving her a fresh heart that he found in a "quaint little shop girl"

]). So I thought I'd ask a question that differs a bit from dvlvan's-- if DS were to participate in a Valentines Day marathon, what one episode would you choose, and why do you think it's suitable to air on Valentines Day?

OMG, a Valentine floatie just showed up, lol.

how blue-eyed Quentin and Angelique could have legitimately produced brown-eyed David.

Oops, Daniel.

I believe the only television set we ever saw on the show was a few years later in parellel time in Buffy Harrington's apt. (or hotel room - can't remember what type of dwelling she lived in).

The TV in Buffie's apartment was the only one we glimpsed in Collinsport. But we did see one in a real time character's hotel room:

Just wanted to comment that it has all to do with genes and dominant and resesive genes. Think of Mendle's flowers Red flower and white flower makes a pink flower.

Actually, Mendel didn't encounter those results, though it doesn't mean his genetic principles were incorrect for the data he collected. The result he obtained was that a purple flower + white flower = purple flower hybrid (the purple flower phenotype clearly was dominant). And when he crossed the hybrids, purple flower + purple flower = 75% purple / 25% white.

The example you gave of red + white = pink is actually a result of incomplete dominance.

Recessive vs. dominant genes do, however, explain how blue-eyed Quentin and Angelique could have legitimately produced brown-eyed David.

Discussing how ethnic groups were portrayed is a natural part of discussion about the show, but it should be done without sweeping statements that perpetuate racial myths. I realize the edited comment was made in jest, but that doesn't make it less offensive.

X is for "x" capture-- X is a capture move in Chess, and DS characters were often seen playing the game (or ignoring it, in the case of Cassandra, lol).
