More proof that Eminem doesn't have a sense of humor. At all. Punk.

Ugh. Jenna sucks.

I don't really agree with this Salon article: "Why Spike ruined "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for a couple of reasons- 1) the writer is under the assumption that Spike is cool (when in fact he's always been a misfit, especially before he became a vampire) and 2) I think the character has remained interesting and has more than picked up the good/evil love interest struggle that'd left town with Angel.

However I do agree that the other, more interesting, main characters have suffered for it. I really wanted more of Willow, Anya, Xander and Giles this season and would be happy with a lot less of Kennedy and the Potentials.
