I was very disappointed at first with my results for the Which ‘Buffy’ Couple Are You and Your Significant Other? quiz. We got “Willow and Xander”, which sounds sorta non-sexual and crappy.

I love what this article has to say about Gilchrist: “Nor did the presence of a packed field prevent him cutting through and…
