... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

I can get behind that. It's got a bit of Rorschach appeal to it. 'Never compromise. even in the face of armaggeddon. hurm' and all that.

This is making me think of the demonic presence on earth as a bit of a cold war, all fought in the shadows, the general populace unaware, or at least unwilling to admit awareness. Then Angel comes along and says 'Screw that noise. Forget sneaking up on evil and poking it in the kidneys. I'ma step right up and kick evil square in the nuts. Twice.' Kind of thing that really tips the pot over, and now there's a demon army on the march through LA, and everyone who's still hiding feels kind of stupid about it.

The only thing that bugs me about Wes's death (even though I knew they boy was toast. Prophecy face and all that) is that his proximity to Jerusalem index went through the roof when he started talking about separating the truth from illusion, and that reminded me of the spinoff series he should have. But pipe dreams aside, he died bloody, he died trying, and he died failing, even though he created circumstances for someone else to succeed. For Wesley, that's about as close to a perfect day as you'll find.

What is even happening?

How much do I love Anne?

The line starts to my rear brenda (because it's a readily identifiable spot).

In other words, the vampire with a soul does wind up playing a pivotal role in THE apocalypse.

He triggers it.

Yes! Because that's what Angels do best. And frequently in an alley. Sometimes with rain. Poor Angel.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

The guac is green, so it can apparently be foiled with yellow. Fucking Green Lantern. His enemies piss in the snow while he's bound in Crime Scene Tape and the guy is toast. Why is this a superhero?

Sigh. Between Green Lantern and Aquaman, I'm having some serious doubts about this whole superhero thing. I guess it's because I didn't grow up with it or something, because my husband really digs Green Lantern and I was like but..but...his weakness is a color?! I think I could kill Green Lantern. I have some yellow sweaters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I'm only feeling wont do defend Green Lantern because he rocks so hard on the JL cartoon, but since he's a big muscly guy, you'd have to bring more to the party than yellow, since only it's his ring that wouldn't work against yellow -- not anything else.

Also, the current Earth Green Lantern's ring has no such weakness.

What's wrong with Aquaman?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita, what are you doing up so early?

I'm always up this early. What's your excuse? Is this your new hours?

It will be next week, but I just woke up early today because I'm worried about work, so , you know, guaranteeing less sleep and feeling exhausted all day will put me in the best shape for handling it.

Ice cream, you say? Like FOOD would help with my serious work problem.

Ima gonna get chocolate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It is quite possibly the stupidest weakness since the 1940s Wonder Woman men-tie-her-up vulnerability.

No -- that one was HOTT.

Ahem.

What's wrong with Aquaman?

Communicating with *fish*? What kind of superpower is THAT?
