Moloch the Corrupter

Moloch

Controlling and powerful demon who was banished into a book by monks in the 15th century. The demon could only be freed if the words were read aloud, and just to make sure, the monks sealed the book in a box. The book was accidentally scanned into the school’s computer system, which unleashed Moloch on the internet. He could create any destruction he liked - destroy records, unleash nuclear weapons etc. He pretended to be Malcolm and became Willow’s online boyfriend. He also had a new robot body made for himself, which was electrocuted and destroyed by Buffy (I Robot, You Jane).

      I don’t know where else to post this. It was in this episode so it will have to do: In the opening scene with Buffy, Giles, Willow, Jenny, Xander etc in the library when Xander tells Willow, “Willow, I love you but bye!”, does his shirt say, “Porno Star”? Everytime I watch this, I question it but that’s what it looks like to me. Is that really what Xander’s shirt said?!

    2. mairceridwen says:

      Probably. A few years back there was a trend of bumper stickers and teeshirts that said, “Porn Star” which was intended to be funny and ironic.

    3. Abby M. says:

      Personally, to see early Xander wear this shirt is funny and quite ironic but I just can’t see getting away with that at school. Or, more importantly, with the network.

      Oh please, the netwrok doesn’t care about stuff like that. It’s not like anyone thinks Xander is a porn star or that wearing a trendy teeshirt will somehow promote pornography. And as far as getting away with it at school, lots of schools don’t have strict dress codes. Our school’s dress code only prohibited clothing that could do bodily harm to another person. Probably a highschool on the hellmouth has other things to worry about. I’m certain that first principal didn’t care and Snyder was always busy being an asshole and trying to catch Buffy being bad.

      True, my high school is ridiculously strict with our dress code. I guess I’m a little sheltered when it comes to seeing (as my dean puts it) “inappropriate material on fashion items.”
