A fangirl who's too old for this shit

i remember I missed an episode of doctor who once (I think it was the satan pit?) and me and my sister did a kind of amnesty round all our friends to try and find someone who’d taped it bcos otherwise we’d have had to wait months to watch it. once made an ass of myself at a friend’s house bcos I was so stressed at the prospect of missing Heroes and not knowing what was going on next week.

owning an entire TV show on vhs took up a massive amount of space (and must have been expensive? I don’t think individual tapes were expensive but you could only get about 3 episodes at a time on a vhs and for a TV show w a lot of seasons that shit must have built up), I don’t recall buying any physical copies of TV shows until DVD was a thing (we had a handful of episodes of buffy on vhs + the BBC narnia series but that wasn’t a long one)

when my sister started watching buffy she came in around s4-5 and had to try and figure what was going on & what had come before through like, context clues, and as I understand it that was the normal way to start watching an ongoing TV show 

Take the detail and put it in a cut scene file. Less anguish + can be used again if needed later. Recycling!

Then later on The Stephen Colbert Show; Stephen asked Andrew if he was comfortable kissing men

And Andrew just

sorta went

Then Stephen 

kinda just

 leaned back in
