'The Train Job'


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.

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

my interpretation of it was, if they didn't keep the company afloat, they didn't get to keep the power/goodies, and they felt like it was better to fight from within the belly of the beast, than against the beast itself.

That's how it was in S5, but not how it was offered in Home. If the SP's are vacating this plane of existance and giving away W&H as a parting gift, then the SP's shouldn't control W&H anymore, and Angel etc shouldn't have to answer for them. Somewhere in between Home and Conviction, TPTB changed the tules. (And by TPTB, I mean the WB/writers.)

The evil is this way?

I assumed that, even though they were employees, there was some profit-sharing plan and the branch had to be successful for them to get a pay off. I dunno. Once they morphed the thing from a law firm to a sort-of-corporation I gave up trying to understand the structure of the place.

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

If the SP's are vacating this plane of existance

Were they? I thought at the time they were leaving LA. Not Earth, and not this plane.

But my memory is jumbled.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I adore Lauren Ambrose beyond all reason,but I think ASH may be too old for her. Perhaps.

What is even happening?

I just think she needs to take her time, and earn it.

Oh! Per IMDB, LA and ASH have the same birthday: February 20. Of course he was born in '54 and she was born in '78.

LA is older than I thought. I had her pegged as someone born in the eighties. She is only 5 years younger than me!

She's 11 years younger than I am, but I think I would have found ASH just as attractive when I was 27 as I do at 38. I know I did when I was 32/33, at least.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ouch! This is from way back in March, but I just ran across a TV Guide quote about a former Angel star at TwoP:

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?: Elisabeth Rohm has gotten work again. As an actress. The wooden Law & Order alum has been cast in the Fox pilot Briar & Graves, about a priest and a doctor who team up to explain the unexplainable. Like how Rohm got another acting job.

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

"Elizabeth Rohm" +wooden turns up 134 hits on Google.

ita, when I did it without the plus sign on "wooden" it gave me 15,000 hits but lots of them just on "wood." I thought I didn't need the plus sign? What's it doing different?

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

The + in that case is acting like quotes -- without either, it's not being literal about wooden -- it also searches on grammatical variations of the same stem.

I really wish it didn't default to that, though.
