My "pick" on the Angel Series Finale from today's "OC Weekly."
No spoilers.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Sex just doesn't cut it anymore. Pink Flamingos do.
Ahem.
I can't be sure if this is the completely right place for this; not being on this board for long means I'm still working out the kinks.
I missed the episode. And couldn't get someone to tape it for me.
So, I'm lost. I need my Angel-fix, especially since its penultimate episode goodness.
If anyone has a tape they can send me (I"ll pay for postage and the tape), I would appreciate it.

Freeflyer. There's a thread on the sidebar called "When Come Back, Bring Tape." That's the place to solicit copies.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hee. David Boreanaz is on Fox SportsNet's "Best Damn Sports Show." It's quite funny, and the best part is he's wearing a Flyers jersey. WooT! Not so good--his hair is reddish blonde.
The bad thing is I can't tell if those pics from last week were an aberration. The jersey covers too much.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I am surprised by how positively I react to the idea of Angel dying next week, actually. It feels like a possible "right" ending, in a way that Buffy's final death wouldn't have.

Except Angel didn't snap Kate's frickin' neck.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Vortex is still angry about that. Okay, it's not much of a limb to go out on...

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I used to have some big elaborate justification why it would work for Angel to be a tragedy, and why it wouldn't ultimately work for Buffy (and thus why I could never have accepted "The Gift" as a series finale), but, uh, I have completely forgotten it.
I think it may have something to do with Buffy being based on the idea of rewriting the sacrificial death of girls to give hope--so she had to live; and Angel being based on a more traditional idea of atonement, so that the proper tragic ending, where he dies but the torch is passed on, doesn't strike me as violating the precept of the series.

Well, it could have been. If you can call a neck a limb.

Trust my rage
What is the origin of the phrase "show called Angel"?
I've been wondering about the origin of the phrase "TV's Angel" and I'm not too sure where I've heard it. Is there another Angel?
