This is the best review of "Chosen" I've read so far.

Last night was fun. I met up with chenanceou, soulmate815, jaydk, drujan, villagechick, Jerry, Cascante (who posts on the gutter), and JodyE50 (who used to write fic as JodithGrace). It was a fun group. We gathered around 6pm and were there until after 1am, just hanging out and talking. We covered quite a few topics. I think the funniest thing was when we were all sitting around, conversing like perfectly normal adults, and then the topic turned to Buffy and suddenly we were all talking at once, loudly and vehemently. It was like, "oh, right! we're all extreme Buffy fans."

I love venting about Buffy (the character) with drujan. I think we just need miggy and our Buffy-hating group would be complete. (And jaydk would be really annoyed). And it was great to talk to chenanceou about the numerous reasons Spike shouldn't have been given a soul. (As jaydk got even more annoyed. Sorry Jane!). Chen told me she has a t-shirt that says "Soul? Schmoul!" I want one!

Anyway, I'm babbling. Kind of in a bad mood today; post-con blues. soulmate815, jaydk, drujan, and I are going to go see Pirates of the Caribbean again. (This is my third time). We keep planning all this other stuff: we're going to see T3 and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, we're going to see Shakespeare in the park, we're going to have a Johnny Depp movie marathon sleepover, we're going to watch AtS S1 DVDs ... instead we just see Pirates over and over. And, y'know, I really can't complain. That movie is fun.

Hey, I liked her okay!

In first season. Sort of.

But these are the times that yes, I wish we had transporters, so I could hop over to NYC to go see Pirates with you and drujan, and then we'd go out to dinner and bitch and gush as appropriate over character and plot developments. (Or you could come here so it wouldn't feel like you're breathing water, but maybe I'm just having flashbacks to my own time spent living on the Eastern Seaboard.)

Awww, it'd be fun to have you there.

If you're ever in NYC, get in touch ... :)

Thanks for the link. The review is indeed right on target.
Sometimes I wish I could grab Joss Whedon, tape him to a chair and force him to listen to reviews and essays about his show.
He is a damn good writer, but seriously, with the last season of BtvS he just dropped the ball.

It was great seeing you again Laura - and the rest of the crowd. I still can't get over the fact villagechick is a fellow reader. So cool to meet everybody and to just discuss with great passion the Buffyverse. I say I don't care anymore and there I was getting louder and louder about the soul thing.
Well - airports suck and JFK is no different. I have 2 hours to kill before boarding.
Wish me luck

I'm right with you on the soul thing. That's one of the last few aspects of the Buffyverse that I care at all about. (Well, that and my absolute disgust with Buffy).

It was so fun hanging out! Although I'm covered in mosquito bites today. Definitely going to wear anti-bug spray or something next time I spend 6 hours sitting outside at night.

Have a safe trip home!
