shipperx* It's funny, I can get more worked up about the ancillary political debates surrounding the BtVS comics than the fact that within the comic
Buffy is a robot.
I mean, I'm fully aware of the problematic subtext of 'woman loses control of her own body" (hence the ancillary political arguments) but the fact that Joss pulled a 'gotcha!" or that he truncated a Spuffy discussion so that--as ever--it remains unfinished, Buffy's feelings remain opaque, and arguably no interaction at all may have taken place (depending on certain factors regarding Buffy).
Well that's just.. typical.
* Zoe was trembling this morning when I tried to leave the house. I'm not sure whether she's ill (she did throw up during the night, but she didn't appear at all ill this morning when I woke her up for her walk). SHe got wet this morning on her walk because of all the dew (quite wet) and she did lay down on her bed in my bedroom where I had the ceiling fan running (because it was HOT last night. OMG is it really just March? I almost turned on the air conditioning) so maybe she got cold? Mom came over to check on her and she said that she's not trembling and has eaten, had water, and played since I left so maybe it was nothing. Still it was concerning.
* It's hot again today. When I went out for lunch my car was HOT. It's only MARCH!
* Not a lot was on tv last night. "Modern Family" was 'eh'. Patricia Heaton has sapped my enjoyment from "The Middle." "Happy Endings" was rather forgettable. And "Daily Show" and "Colbert" were only so-so.
*sigh* Ennui.

Date: 2012-03-16 03:49 am (UTC)I enjoyed DW S6, even though I understood all the criticism and I wasn't thrilled by what it meant for Amy's character in how she was treated. But that was done with way more sensitivity then this.
The way the Doctor zapped flesh!Amy. Compare that to Robo!Buffy getting her arm ripped off. It just... doesn't compare at all. One is emotionally resonant, the other just feels like they're shocking us with a taser.
The thing is, with Amy's story, I never got the impression we were supposed to be find it funny. It was really heartbreaking and sad to watch, imo. With Buffy, it's like there's this built-in crack factor on the surface of the whole thing. It makes it really hard for me to care.
