Saturday is tired

shadowkatI'm thinking of going to bed earlier tonight and reading for a bit. I'm still struggling with waking up in the middle of the night and in pain.
So maybe Chamoille tea? I was trying to convince the doctor to prescribe muscle relaxants - but no, she thinks I should reduce my allergy meds, caffeine intake (decafe coffee and matcha lattes during the day), and drink more water instead. She's decided it's dehydration.
Well, she has a point. I'm taking way too many medications as it is. Mentioned this to mother, who felt the need to do a competition - apparently she's taking more than I am, and I have no grounds to complain.
I told her to stop - she was repeating some of the meds and giving me a headache. Mother had suggested the muscle relaxants - which is what she's taking.
Some doctors throw pills at you, mine is trying not to - considering I've already had too many pills from other doctors thrown at me.

Finished Buffy S3 rewatch - and as I mentioned on TV Talk - It's a mixed bag of a season. Ironically the weak link is Faith - and her relationship with Buffy, which should have been built better than it actually was. If it had been - I'd have cared more about the character. Such as it is - I was tired of her. Also, it reminded me of an issue I had with Whedon and his series (not just Buffy) - which is the whole Freudian crap. It was a bit too much on the nose with Faith and the Mayor (the guy turns into the Freudian equivalent of a giant phallic snake?). I think I liked Faith better when I first watched the series in the 1998-1999? But her character doesn't really date well? And has been handled better in other series since then? I liked her better on Angel actually, mainly because they built more of a relationship between Faith and Angel, than with Faith and Buffy. I think a huge mistake was not making Buffy bisexual or building up on that friendship in a way that they really became like sisters? As it is - Buffy doesn't really seem to have that much of a relationship with Faith - so it's hard to care. Angel seemed to have more of a connection with Faith somehow? I don't know. Other than Faith - I liked the season. I even like the Mayor as the villain.
The other difficulty I had with S3 - and it kind of drags towards the end - is one too many characters, and trying to do too many things, as a result several characters got lost in the shuffle, including Faith. Ensemble series are difficult to do well because of that.

Date: 2025-09-14 11:11 pm (UTC)Granted I did see Excalibur accidentally at the age of 13 or 14. My parents didn't realize it was R-rated for a reason? We saw it with them at at least. And my brother was three years younger than me, so...
But 6 years of age?
This person was oblivious to most everything in it at 6, only got the surface level stuff. And didn't understand the appeal of Buffy/Angel at all (you wouldn't at 6, 14 yes, but anything under that? Unlikely.) They were shipping Xander/Buffy at 6, then moved onto Spike. They didn't understand the appeal of Riley or Angel, and again no 6-10 year old would?
They also didn't read any meta - they were 6? And it was in 1997?
I shouldn't be shocked. My cousin was letting her kids watch Game of Thrones and Glee at six years of age. Which is a whole lot worse.
