Angelus ,'Smile Time'
[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.
seems like we could've fit in a little Spike/Halfrek meeting/reflection episode before we killed her off.
Yeah, or at least a B-plot to one of the 8 million Potentials/Buffy boring speechifying eps! (B-plots. Remember when Buffy had those? Good times.)
Okay, now I picture Wesley madly singing those words as some sort of twisted lullaby.
Yes, while doing his newly aquired crazy Renfield impression tiptoing around his office.
BTW- has anyone else thought Wes has been considerably less crazy in the last two 'sodes? Was the mega-crazy a brief aftermath of the regained memories. I mean, he's still heartbreakingly broken, but not such with the crazy.
he's still heartbreakingly broken, but not such with the crazy.
Yeah, the crazy has faded, after the memories and Illyria being powered down. Now he's got to put him life back together without the Crazy Glue.
And thus, why I love him.
I think my Wes love is at an all-time high. And that's saying something.
Huh. I agree that the crazy has been powered down in the last two episodes, but I think that he's holding himself together because he thinks he has to deal with crises (the Burkles, Angel going dark) and that when he looks in mirror, it's still whirligig mad eyes.
You're probably right, micole, but it doesn't bode well for him doing anything other than looking forward to the going out in a blaze of glory thing. I see him emptying the shotgun, the pistols, then pulling out a sword and diving in.
I don't know how they could have fit in the explanation but I really wanted to know how she went from Cecily the stuck up biatch to Halfrek the nosy vengeance demon.
Considering all the time that BtVS wasted repeating the same info in its final stretch, seems like we could've fit in a little Spike/Halfrek meeting/reflection episode before we killed her off. Might've made her death a lot more meaningful, too
Even though Angel's reasoning for this big fight seems rather idiotic, that last seen on Wednesday was beautiful. Power Play showed again how much all these guys love each other and the idea of them choosing to die together seemed based more on love than on necessity. In a way, I'm all right with that.Yes. I may gripe about plot "problems" that I see, but there was no denying that last scene, especially Wes' love for Angel and willingness to follow him to death. "Faithful servant" now and forever.
As much as I didn't like the troll god hammer and the Summers blood business, The Gift still makes me weepy, because I felt the love.
Oh! Need new folder for Katie, too. This is beautiful. Katie, may I please tag this part:
Angel says to me that there can be grace even in darkness; Buffy says to me that that you can get a damn generator and turn the lights on.
Absolutely, Cindy.
Thank you, Katie
