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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Oh! I just remembered that I was going to note that those of us who are not video gamers as a hobby really didn't really catch the XBox/Playstation issue WRT Spike or last night.

I've played video games, and I know certain platforms exist, but knowing what is available on which? NSM.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

He's already killed himself to stop a wave of evil. And he loved it.

Doesn't Shanshu mean some sort of combo of living and dying, which the MoG simply assumed meant "becoming mortal/human?"

Wouldn't it be a kicker if the reward for the ensouled vampire who played a role in preventing the Apocalypse was that he got to do it over, and over, and over again, dying while fighting the good fight then being brought back to unlife to go through the same dog and pony show ad infinitum?

Or has "Shanshu" been formally redefined since the S1 finale?

Now who let this @#$(&$ bunny into my office?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Fixed my typo, dammit.

That's OK, it's been immortalized by others.

Hee, I'm amused by the thought of Sisyphus!Spike.

"Off to save the bloody world again; it's what I do."

What is even happening?

Or has "Shanshu" been formally redefined since the S1 finale?

I never think of things spoken as canon. I mean, it's canon that a character spoke the words, but there's no guarantee that the character is correct.

Jessica--Stonecutters? I'm drawing a blank (well, and thinking of the lj community of the same name). Was that term used in the show? Who are the stonecutters?

Daniel, I got a good giggle out of the Frogyn typo.

Um.

I've played video games, and I know certain platforms exist, but knowing what is available on which? NSM.

And some of us that do (namely me) obviously don't either. It's just a minor nitpick - much like the Italian from last week.

As for your typo, it was worth it for the Muppet!Angel on Kermit imagery.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Who are the stonecutters?

The Masons! The Secret Masters of the World!

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

I thought the X-Box/Playstation thing wasn't even a nitpick ... didn't someone say there were cross-platform versions?

"Off to save the bloody world again; it's what I do."

Don't forget -- he needs to die each time, poor dear.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And I have their song in my head.

Our wings are not tired.

Every ages-old demonic entity needs a Spike as a pet.

I could use one myself.

Finally saw the episode, now off to read the last few hundred posts in thread #4 before commenting, much. Maybe it will help my grumpiness.

Wish he had shipped Nina off a while back, yawn.

Wow, Marcus beating up Illyria was really ouchy. Ouch.
