Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'd be up for a re-watch and post too, especially since I was only around for AtS S5.

Count me in with those who intensely disliked TGiQ. The episode's only redeeming scenes were with AA/AD, for reasons already enumerated above.

Am I the only person who prefers AtS to BtVS? I'd be asking TPTB to re-fold back time and give me "Angel," though that would cause quite a conundrum if the show that begat it was never begotten. It's the show that pulled me lock, stock, and barrel into the universe.

I just wish the show would have ended with S4, plus something along the lines of "You're Welcome" and "Origins" to redeem Cordelia and Connor. Most of S5 did nothing for me, notwithstanding AA's incredible performance as Illyria. AtS felt very organic in characterization and plot (for the most part) from seasons 1-4, and S5 was sterile with few flashes of brilliance. I get the writers wanted to show where one ends up once he/she succumbs to the daily grind of life, but they ended up removing what makes most people get up in the morning, the idea of family and friends.

edit: Damn apostrophes popping up where they don't belong.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Am I the only person who prefers AtS to BtVS?

Not by a long shot.

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

it seems as if I should know who Peter David is, but I don't.

Big shot comic writer, also writes sff and Trek novelisations.

Perfectly easy to not know who he is.

Nope.

Um.

Nope.

Any room left in that corner?

I wouldn't give up AtS S5 if only because of "Lineage". And "Smile Time". And, oh who am I kidding.

As soon as the AtS S5 DVDs showed up at my house, "Smile Time" hit the player. There are days I find myself with the Self-Esteem Song stuck in my head.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Peter David wraps up Cecily/Halfrek

That sounds like it could be interesting. I always liked Peter David's ST:TNG novels.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Peter David wraps up Cecily/Halfrek

It seems like I've read a fic like that. Or maybe just a theory.

I wrote a short fic with that premise just before Hells Belles. [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

He totally ripped you off! You should punch him.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You should punch him.

Do it! Do it!
