Hey, it's me again. I know you don't really answer asks anymore, but I just wanted to say I REALLY LOVED the post you did about "I, Robot... You, Jane" today, the introduction of Jenny Calendar was easily the best thing about that entire episode (Giles/Jenny were one of the best and most heartbreaking ships on the entire show, I don't think I'll ever get over just how brutal "Passion" was)!

Oh, thank you, friend!<3

I really love "I, Robot...You, Jane," so I'm glad I'm not alone.

I know that Passion of the Nerd, for instance--in his Buffy guide--seemed to indicate that if Jenny wasn't introduced in this episode, he probably would have just suggested that people skip it.

And while part of me understands that, and why people might not like this episode... I don't know: I just feel like Willow's first "relationship" in the show is an important thing, among other things. And I find Moloch as an episode Big Bad pretty interesting.

I also like that Willow was willing to have a relationship with someone she met online, even if the story went into a "you can't trust people you meet online" direction. That is definitely dated in some regards, but also sound advice in others. You do have to be careful about that kind of thing.

This episode also being the thing that made Google a verb is iconic.

As is the last scene with Buffy, Willow, and Xander realizing that none of them will ever have normal, healthy relationships, as they try to comfort Willow. LOL

Buffy being too cute while detecting is also great.

-shrugs- I just feel like every time I watch this episode, I find more to like about it. And it's definitely not one of the worst season 1 episodes to me at all.

And Jenny, and Giles/Jenny are just too great. Giles was actually my favorite character when I was first watching the show, and Giles/Jenny was also the first ship I fell in love with, for sure. They're just too cute and perfect. And, yes, Passion will always hurt, damnit.

Thank you so much for the ask!

And sorry I'm slow about getting around to things lately. There's been a lot of scary medical things lately: like me realizing that what I was diagnosed is worse than I thought it was, and me having some pretty scary breathing issues recently (not to scare you or bombard you with all this).

But I'm fine at the moment, so no worries right now, and I was more than happy to answer this. And hopefully I should get to your message soon:)
