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.
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.
