'First Date'
[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.
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.
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.
Who are the stonecutters?
The Masons! The Secret Masters of the World!
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.
Cindy: It's a Simpsons thing.
And I have their song in my head.
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.
Well, I got to the end of the thread finally, delayed by having to sleep and an 8:30 am conference call with stupid stupid stupid people.
Micole speaks for me, particularly with regard to the importance of an ending being both surprising and inevitable. Which this? Not so much. I don't mind, but I'm not compelled. I'm seeing the hand of the writers too clearly here.
I'm also rather disturbed about the killing of Drogyn. First, do we know that was actually him? I rewound and still couldn't recognize him. Wondered if maybe Angel pulled a switcheroo. Not that killing a complete outsider would be an improvement.
Second, he killed a good guy! A complete innocent! (Okay, possibly not innocent, but not deserving of death at the moment.) Um, repercussions? Or at least recognition? The hell?
I suspect Hamilton is suspicious.
I hate the WB promo people with a cold and furious rage.
The Masons! The Secret Masters of the World!
Heh, Victor funny. Give cookie. (Where'd I leave my dad's Masonic apron, anyhow?)
Cindy: It's a Simpsons thing.
Thank you, Plei.
And I have their song in my head.
I have the Franklin theme song in my head, which is problematic, because I only remember the first line of the first verse, and then about 5 words rather scattered throughout.
I thought this was a good episode. I see the asspull. I am ignoring the asspull. I have only an hour left in the 'verse I love beyond all 'verses--a 'verse always complicated by pacing problems. In fact, I'm tempted to go all meta, and write some big thesis on the pacing problems of BtVS and A:ts arcs, and then fanwank it as a part of the mythology of the 'verse.
Wesley made me cry when he raised his hand. Spike did, too. I can't figure out Lindsey at all. I don't care. I just wish he'd get a new hairdo. I can't make Angel killing the Drogyn fit at all. That's okay, too.
Second, he killed a good guy! A complete innocent! (Okay, possibly not innocent, but not deserving of death at the moment.) Um, repercussions? Or at least recognition? The hell?
Yeah, I don't know what's up with that, and I think it's unlikely it'll be covered next week (unless Drogyn's alive or is revealed to have agreed to act as a sacrifice).
Doesn't Shanshu mean some sort of combo of living and dying, which the MoG simply assumed meant "becoming mortal/human?"
As I recall, Wesley said the word can mean either "live" or "die" depending on the context surrounding it. I'd have to check my DVDs.
I thought the X-Box/Playstation thing wasn't even a nitpick ... didn't someone say there were cross-platform versions?
Me, over here. *wave* I linked to the Amazon page for X-Box Crash Bandicoot at the start of this thread.
