[Blank] [Blanks] in Season Five

In yet another sign that my countless hours watching TV have not all been squandered, Brad recounts his own addiction to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Exhibit twenty in the "see, other smart people watch it" court, Your Honor.) He describes the difficulty of living in a BDR (Buffy Discordant Relationship), in which one partner has seen episodes the other hasn't. Plenty of eggshell-stepping around all things Sunnydale. And his synopsis of Season Five proves that genius plot transcends the need for proper nouns and verbs:

I now know why [blank] [blanked], and that particular episode is sure to become one of my favorites. It made me cry, as did the one where [blank] discovered that [blank] was the [blank]. I knew it was coming -- those damnable Internet message boards and their siren songs! -- but I still clutched my pillow tight when [blank] [blanked] off the [blank] and [blanked] to save [blank] and, not incidentally, the [blank]. Again.
