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.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

[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.

And thus, why I love him.
I think my Wes love is at an all-time high. And that's saying something.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

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
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.

What is even happening?
Thank you, Katie

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think my Wes love is at an all-time high. And that's saying something.
When I thought it couldn't get any higher, that look before he raised his hand just knocked me over.

I try to love my neighbor as myself. Unfortunately, I have a lot of self-loathing.
The reason for titling the most recent Spoiler Thread "Show Called Angel" was, I believe, a reaction to the announcement at the end of last year that Spike would become a regular, and severe worries that it would become the Spike Show. It was "Show called Angel! Show not called Spike!"
In retrospect, do people think Spike's addition helped or hurt the final season? Let's leave aside the issue of "the suits wanted Spike so he had to be there or there would be no final season"; I'm talking artistically, not practically.
My answer is a mixed yes/no. I've always been Spike-neutral (just can't see what the big deal is either way) and I disliked the direction the show went in season five in a general sense, but focusing very narrowly on Spike's contributions I have to say that sometimes they were forced and annoying, and sometimes they worked really well. All in all I'd rather have had Connor, but that's just me (and a few others). Also, the forced and annoying was more obvious toward the first half of the season; by the second half Spike seemed a more appropriate part of the ensemble (except for TGIQ, in which the whole danged episode was forced and annoying. Yes, I know some people liked it.)
