except for when he's being a dick and cruel, that is.

True enough. Okay, I amend my statement to "he seemed too into truth and nobility in those earlier episodes for that." Plus he wanted to impress Jaye, so it seemed odd he'd be working with Mahandra against her.

Hmm. I've never made it through a season unspoiled of Buffy or Angel. I was spoiled ahead of time for the remaining Wonderfalls eps, even though I never touched a script.

I wouldn't call it fairly easy.

Maybe it's different on different boards. The one time I was spoiled for Angel, it was TVGuide that did it, and I cancelled my subscription rather than risk it happening again. Other than that, I lived a spoil-free existence, although sometimes I had to be really quick with the "stop right there!"

Maybe it's different on different boards.

It's not a board thing -- most of that spoilage came from casual conversations or e-mails or reading the wrong articles offline. Or reading buffistas.org referrer logs.

Very rarely did it happen here.

But here we have a spoiler thread, and so, Jaye and Eric get together, Heidi-ho leaves town and divorces his sorry ass, Majandra and Aaron come out of the secret affair closet, and the wax lion lives.

Ah. I feel much better now. I need neither the surprise nor the suspense. I need the story.

If you click on the links, Cindy, you'll see there was much more detail upthread, first by Kat, and then by me.

Okay, I have Kat's message marked for reading in about a week. Thanks for the info.

Awwww. Yeah. Thank you, ita. I don't know how I missed those. I distinctly remember Kat and you having the "I know the joy of the spoiled" -- "No, that's the joy of rewatching" conversation. I must have hit recent, because there's no way I would have skimmed over your posts.

Can you muster up enough whatever to give sappiness specifics? t sap

If that were the case, the second the bad guy came into the store, they would've been singing out "call the police! 911!"

I missed this the first time round:

I think what we know about what they wanted is that it worked, and saved Jaye's life. Calling 911 might have resulted in a hostage situation anyway, and a more hostile one with more casualties. We can never know.

Cindy, I'm actually in a good place wrt the series, so I'd like to not revisit the sap right now. It wasn't well done.

Oh, that's too bad ita, and I completely understand. Thanks again for pointing out the big spoilage.
