[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.
Especially a rainy one. At first I was wondering if the alley scene was because Hyperion set wasn't available anymore. Then I thought it was because of the rain. Faith's big emotional turning point was in a rain-soaked alley. Connor was born and Darla died in a rain-soaked alley. I bet if they had a chance to go back and reshoot the scene, it would have been raining in the alley in Ireland when Darla turned Angel.
And what about when Whistler found him in the alley?

BRS?

So are alleys, what's the word, liminal?
Spike has been pretty loveless since the coming back to life, hasn't he? Personal growth, I guess.
That Nietzschean phrase, amor fati? Seems like that ought to work into these ideas somehow or other.
Ha! I liked him. Cause he was big and monstrous. And ultimately a big tool, but he was fun while he lasted. And I was surprised when he turned out not to be the Big Bad of the season. Of course, S4 surprised me a lot, which is why I love it.
