Well, actually, no, he's saying he has *never seen* an episode of either "Buffy" or "Angel": <snip> > >> I discovered him only with Firefly and have never > >> (gulp...forgive me, Saint Joss) seen an episode of > >> either Buffy or Angel. :-) Not clear why he's lying now--or lied the three times previously when he said he *had* seen some episodes. Seems an awfully trivial thing to lie about, one way or the other. Maybe it's just that the idea of your assuming he's a "fanboy" gives him the collywobbles, because he thinks it sounds, you know, so unevolved and unelite, so *attached*. Urban Dictionary's third definition of "fanboy" does seem quite apt, though: "An arrogant person who goes into an outburst every time something he likes is questioned." > > Barry, 3/21/09 (#212517): > > > > "...My past experience with 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' > > and 'Angel' and 'Firefly' and 'Serenity' and 'Dr. > > Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' has convinced me that in > > Joss Whedon I am dealing with a very talented human > > being." > > > > Barry, 2/21/09 (#209588): > > > > "I missed a lot of 'Buffy' and 'Angel'..." > > > > Barry to Lawson, 6/17/05 (#62778): > > > > "Never watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer?!!!
