Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'm thinking the character of Kate was written to be more "even-keeled" so to speak, which is fine, but vocally it could have varied a bit more than what was done.

I'm not trying to say that I hate the character or the actress, only that the character and actress don't do much for me personally, in the show.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've already watched through season 5 a little over 4 times!

There's nothing I can say about this that you haven't already said yourself.

Put me in the not hating Kate club. She wasn't my favorite character, but I don't have any animosity towards her.

Yeah, I thought I hated Kate, until ER went to L&O. I REALLY hated Serena Sutherland.

Kate was SOOOO much better.

yes, this.

Kate was SOOOO much better.

if better means "sucked less, but that doesn't mean much", then yes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I thought Kate as a character was summed up well with that line (memfault which episode): "This job is making me crazy." Dullish; truthful; not a lot of tone; no expectation of change; and she said it to someone she kind of hated. And, that was fine for Kate. (I never liked her later histrionics.)

I never particularly noticed the laser-blueness of her eyes, because there wasn't often much behind the irises (unlike McDonough, who seems to be built for the permanent slow burn).

I spell judgement with an E and have never been corrected on this front. Of course, on the Boston T system, there is a station called "Boylston St. Theatre District", so clearly the British hold more sway than they think they do.

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

The theatre spelling is the most prevalent English variant I've seen in the States. Some people use the re/er to distinguish the art from the building, others just hold onto the Britishism, apparently because there were a lot of balky Brits in theatre when Webster tried to make his changes. I've seen it in Michigan and California too.

USC has a School of Theatre.

Which, ah, Gunn's actor probably knows about. Since he went here.

I was rewatching Angel Season 1 last night and something bothered me about the episode "I've got you under my skin". Ryan, the little boy, should not have been able to block his parents bedroom door with that little piece of wood. I believe housing regulations are such that all doors to bedrooms need to open inward towards the room because if there is need, as in a fire, the door can be broken inwards, which is much easier than trying to pull it outwards.
