I'm definitely with you if you are referring to the Adam praise, the Glory disapproval, and the general insulting of all of season 7.I've never disagreed with a podcast more
I have listened to the podcast, my prediction was correct.
Glory must have messed with her mind. That's the only explanation.I know right. Who in their right mind praises Adam and has Glory as their fifth favourite big bad?! Utter lunacy if you ask me....
And I'm the mad one... pffft. Go dissect a kid or something, Glory!
So wiping out the monks , chasing the key round the world , slaughtering hundreds of the Knights of Byzantium , sending the leyoch to kill Buffy , raising a massive snake seer, and torturing and sucking the brains out of half of Sunnydale wasn't proactive enough for you Taake ?
All hail the dread Glorificus !!
She's only in 12 episodes of season 5, and she doesn't do a lot of sitting around actually. She beats up Buffy in No Place Like Home and Shadow, also creating a snake monster that can identify the key. By Checkpoint she figures out Buffy is connected to the key and comes face to face with it. She does torture Spike in Intervention, though I know you said that's nothing. And in just her ninth episode, she actually finds out who the key is. She then chases them across the countryside despite fighting to not turn into Ben, and she captures Dawn in just her tenth episode.
. Athena still seems a bit quiet.
For me the weakness of Glory ....is Ben . I think they intended to portray a far more ambivalent tension between the characters , but he didn't have the acting chops to pull it off .I have absolutely no sympathy for Ben . He summons the Queller : his life was forfeit long before 'The Weight of the World' .
I think Clare Kramer is astounding as Glory .
Not getting too far offtopic , I listened to the podcast and enjoyed it , as usual
No spoilers but I totes agree with your analysis of the Master . I think Season 1 and season 7 tend to perform poorly in the BB polls , both undervalued in my opinion .
Bane of my life! I think it's the software we use to record on Skype. I'm going to try an alternative next time. Unfortunately I can't test these things til we record, but yeah doing it live the sound was great, so it's either Skype or the recording software. We're stuck with Skype til Taake agrees to live in the UK , so I'm going to try some new recording software and hopefully it'll be better.... 
Are there no programs other than Skype you could use, to be able to record each other in a different country? I can't think of any but maybe someone else knows. It's a shame the sound quality isn't as good as it could be. Obviously you should just move to Sweden and become a wino with Taake. That's a demand, not a suggestion.And yes, the sound
I'm Taake and I approve of this post
Because it was dealt with properly there. "Oh you talk a lot about being evil, well, BYE!" The sequel The First is a disappointment. Much like Angelus in season 4 of Ats.
