Yes, I’m late to this particular party; and yes, it was Joss Whedon’s own decision… still. Why precisely do they expect me to go watch it, without the cast OR the director?
Hey, fun game. Which was better: Once More, With Feeling, The Body, or Hush? I mean, obviously it was Once More, With Feeling – but I suppose that I should give other people a chance to justify their choice.
Came here from Cynthia Yockey’s blog … if you have to pick which is best from those three eps, well, The Body was the most powerful, Hush (esp Flight of the Bumblebee seq) was the most groundbreaking, and Once More… was way overrated – Tabula Rasa, using a similar MacGuffin,was much better. Pound-for-pound, Passion, Innocence and Hush are the three best eps, and there are a half-dozen others from S2/3 better than The Body and Once More. FWIW.
Innocence I’ll grant should be in the top ten, but I’m going to stick with The Body as being just damn good television in general. Not most evocative of the show’s typical style, but it didn’t have to be.
And I still sing some of the songs from OMWF.
