I'll be in the normal freak other corner with Plei.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
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 terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Since when can one alter prophesized events by signing the prophecy away, even in blood?
He didn't. It's obvious that Spike survives the coming fight.

No. Fur? No. We don't...fur.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cindy, a few hundred posts ago, you asked if I was going to be in your area for a few days. I am not, since I am now in Baltimore at Anne's. I am sorry I missed you.
I skipped all of the posts since this morning, so sorry if this was already discussed. DebetEsse and I were talking on the way down, and we both sort of wondered if one of the reasons for the Illyria story line is so that AA could take part in the final fight. Even though Fred was large with the traps and the fun decapitation machines, they didn't usually have her taking part in the hand to hand fighting.
What do other people think?
