desoto_hia873Oh. My. God.
Still working my way through the newly-acquired BtVS S6 DVDs and watched Once More With Feeling tonight. Now, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I saw it when it aired and again just a few months ago when I discovered that I still had it on tape. Plus, bought the CD a couple months ago too. Nevertheless, I was *totally* blown away while watching it tonight. Seeing it in context - in addition to being newly impressed by S6 - well, let's just say I can't remember the last time I had so much fun by myself. :-)
What an amazing hour of television. There are no words save for these: Joss is God.
And way cool special features for this episode: commentary by Joss Whedon (which I haven't listened to yet because I really should be going to bed), a behind-the-scenes making-of documentary by David Fury (which is almost as long as the episode itself), and Buffy karaoke for three songs - I nearly died laughing!
I wish Tara's song had been one of the three, though - it's been running through my head all day, so it would have been fun to sing along with. Doesn't matter - I've already got the CD put out to bring to work with me tomorrow. I'll just close my door and listen to it all day.
I just can't get over how much more I'm enjoying S6 this time around. I'm kind of wondering where my brain was two years ago. At the moment, I'm liking it more than S5 - it even seems to look better. There's something about the way they filmed S5 that made it look dark and grainy. S6, OTOH, has portraits of wonderful colours and perfect film-like quality.
Anyway, that's tonight's endorsement for the BtVS S6 DVDs. I'm going to Amazon now to order the script/music for OMWF.
Oh ya - tomorrow night? Tabula Rasa ::sighs happily::
