Now I'm just trying to figure out why, of all pairings, Connor/Wes is setting off my squickometer.
Heh.
I tried to write it, and it made mine go pingpingping.
And everyone KNOWS mine's broken.
Mal: There's plenty orders of mine that she didn't obey. Wash: Name one! Mal: She married you!

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You people are sick. It makes perfect sense.

Art Crawl!!!
I think that the point of making Angel sign the agreement is his willingness to do so -- I don't know that he has any actual power to refuse a shanshu if it's not actually being offered to him at the time.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I'll be in the corner with Dana. Or, you know, in my bunk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll be in the normal freak other corner with Plei.

Angel issues. Daddy issues. Betrayal and the face of failure and a love-starved kid being the focus of all of Wesley's scary need.
I'm just sayin'.

Oh, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I'm just saying the thought of it makes me want to think other thoughts instead.

I'm so pleased to be the freak for once.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Before the episode, I was thinking maybe, just maybe, they'd have the big fight, our heroes would go out in a blaze of glory, and become a new set of Powers That Be. sigh ....

What is even happening?
No, seriously. He was her guide. He made the world make sense to her. She imprinted on him, she loved him, she followed him -- in an infantile way. I don't mean this as an insult. I mean, literally, that she depended on him as much as an infant depends on its mother, although her needs were emotional, psychological, and philosophical, rather than emotional and physical.
I think this is at least half of the story, and a really touching part of it. I will never again look at Illyria and not see her as Wesley's duckling. Still, I can't help but remember the importance of memory (real or otherwise) and the loss of memory, and the magical creation of memory, and its effects, in both the 'verse in general, and the emphasis on it, during this season in particular.
