I found his sarcasm to be fairly obvious.
On season 4 of Buffy...should I be watching Angel?

I didn't but then again I can be a little oblivious to one's humor.
Which takes all the fun out of deadpan humor.
Anyway, like CorporalClegg, I found it obvious that he wasn't being serious.
Unless of course you're me and have trouble "getting" deadpan humor unless it's something I can hear. I'm working on it.
I don't really know the correct term. I've just heard the word "emojis" more frequently in the last little while.
I'd thought that "emoji" was just the Japanese rendering of "emoticon," but looking it up, it seems the difference is that emoticons are text-based smileys while emoji (from the Japanese for "picture character") are pictographic symbols like the ones that have increasingly come to be automatically substituted for text emoticons.
Oh. Okay then. Thanks for the clarification. Emoticons it is!
^No, I think "emojis" is preferred now because we rarely see emoticons anymore. If I try typing an emoticon like ; ) (space added so it'll show up), it'll be turned into an emoji like

I thought the term 'emoji' was implementation specific, like a specific brand of smilies. Kind of like 'Kleenex' where one brand name of something becomes the default name for the thing.
Buffy season 6 has been odd in that there's no real big bad. The Master, Spike/Angelis, the Mayor, The Initiative/Adam, Glory, and now in season 6 the big bad seems to be the cast's inner doubts. The big bad is within rather than without.
It's starting to seem like Sajon wants to kill Angel because of something he will do, not something he has done.
That's some clever prophecy wordplay. I thought "The father will kill the son" might refer to Holtz and Angelis killed his children, but that was dispelled by "The vampire will devour his son." And Angel did drink his son's blood, and that happened to be separate from Holtz running into the hell dimension with his son.
Seems like Holtz may have done that because he thinks he can somehow survive on his own in the hell dimension and it was the only solution that didn't involve breaking the child's neck. This should be an interesting next few episodes.

Here's an idea: why don't we just call them "emotions symbols." Simple, easy, no confusion.
That is so 1997.
You nailed it. Joss Wheadon even stated this in an interview about mid season that year.
I'm just remembering that the very term "the Big Bad" for the season's archvillain comes from Buffy in the first place.
Buffy Season 6: Life is the Big Bad.
Sounds about right.
Though really, life, was the big bad of Buffy as a whole.

Me too. I was rather shocked that they never got together on a regular basis.True, all it means, is that Giles and Joyce would get it on if they had met as teenagers.
I always wanted Giles and Joyce to get together as adults. I thought they would have made a good couple.
