I have no problem with 'Becoming Pt.2' at the top but 'The Gift' is ridiculously overrated given that the plot doesn't make any sense. Also, what's wrong with ''Hell's Bells' and 'Seeing Red?' The former is a little cliched and sad, but it's an interesting culmination to Xander's issues all season and it's certainly not worse than 'Beer Bad.' And the latter ... does it hurt your feminist sensibilities? I admit the episode is hard to stomach because of Warren's misogyny and all the violence towards women but it's meant to be that way, and it's very effective. I'd probably rank it in my top 50 episodes.<br />I don't agree with the SFX list either - 'Hush' is excellent but not top-five, let alone no.1 material, and there are lots of episodes worse than 'Beer Bad.' Most notably 'Teachers Pet' 'I Robot, You Jane' 'The Puppet Show' 'Where the Wild Things Are' 'Doublemeat Palace' and 'Empty Places,' the last being my least favourite episode.<br />Also, S4's 'Who Are You?' is also a highly-regarded gimmick episode, more so than Superstar as far as I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-14337125648945537932013-08-03T00:02:08.907+01:002013-08-03T00:02:08.907+01:00Angel actuallyAngel actuallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-80469031084468128022012-01-08T01:33:45.402+00:002012-01-08T01:33:45.402+00:00Neat.

It's still an adjective, not a noun as you suggested. And if some English-speakers do think sophos is a noun, as in philosophy, it doesn't make it right! Plus, the list of terms listed (animus, manus etc) are all Latin terms, so I think that it's in Latin dictionaries we should look, not Greek ones. <br /><br />Anyway, the point is that sophos means neither wisdom nor mind, and so the writers of Buffy got it wrong on two fronts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-83824772619156721132009-09-03T21:51:09.717+01:002009-09-03T21:51:09.717+01:00Yes, I'm very grateful for the Sears explanati...Yes, I'm very grateful for the Sears explanations - that's been bugging me for years!

They started off as a mail order house in the 19th cetnury and were highly popular, not least because when the new catalog came, you could move the old one to the outhouse. In the 20th century, they added department stores and sold pretty much everything. These days they are probably best known for their tools (the Craftsman brand). They've been hanging on by their fingertips since the 80s and "Come see the softer side of Sears" was an ad slogan in the 90s to get people to buy something from them other than tools. Their clothing lines had sagged woefully since the 70s and as far as I know, they still mostly sell clothes only to suburban mothers, if even that. But I'm not sure anyone really finds it all that funny, maybe just a slightly amusing cultural reference.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.com
