Also, apparently, he had a huge crush on Amy Acker.
But she's so...homely.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[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.

Wow, so you have an urge to join your namesake in the great beyond? If you see Plei coming, run as fast as you can.

Hey, it's what Joss says on all his commentaries! Tell her to take it up with him.

Hey. New board.
AMY ACKER IS NOT HOMELY AND I SHALL NOW KILL YOU.
Fred is my dream girlfriend.
Well, okay, sometimes Illyria in my dream girlfriend. But those dreams are a little freaky.
I think you know what I mean.

Whoa whoa whoa, peoples. In case it wasn't clear, I think Amy Acker is as ridiculously pretty as the next guy. I was merely using Joss' standard deadpan sarcasm that he employs on the commentaries. And in case he's not clear either, he, too, thinks Amy Acker is as ridiculously pretty as the next guy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And in case he's not clear either, he, too, thinks Amy Acker is as ridiculously pretty as the next guy.
As long as the next guy is Johnny Depp, I'll agree with this assessment.

There's also no essay on Gunn, sad to say.
That is so wrong.
But, sounds like a cool read. I think I'll have to check it out.

I didn't get the Amy Acker love until Illyria showed up. It's always fun to see actors whipsaw between utterly different characters.

Respect is Back. Fear is Next.
Smile Time was the perfect antidote to what had been a very long and busy day when it first aired. I could not stop laughing throughout the episode. In terms of the Buffy and Angel series, that made it into my personal top 20 episodes.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Urge to kill Polter-Cow...lowering. Deadpan sarcasm doesn't always work when typed.
The Angel book sounds like a great read, I'll try to pick it up.
Speaking of great reads, I formulated a question today that I'd like to ask: Are there any literary works (generally I think this is a literate bunch) that remind you of a Buffy or Angel episode or vice-versa? I'll start...
W. H. Auden's Musee des Beaux Arts: [link]
I'm always reminded of this poem during the scene in "The Body" where the Scoobies are basically falling apart with grief (Anya doesn't understand, Willow can't make decisions, Xander punches the wall) and the last thing we see in the scene is of a cop ticketing Xander's car, which he had only meant to park for a few minutes, and of course the cop has no idea why it has been parked there for so long. As in Auden's poem, the mundanities of life go on amidst the suffering of a few people.
