I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

Way late. But I could not let the whole "network, episodic, consequences discussion" go by utterly without H:LOTS getting props. Both for the Adena Watson case(boyish hottie lead gets a *loser* first case, and may have had to let the murderer go free, and is probably haunted by that forever, despite all the scum he locks up.)

And The Mahoney Shoot(season 5): Detective Kellerman acts to save his partner's life against a man that has shot police in the recent past...Is Mahoney all bad? Would they even be there if Lewis hadn't gone in looking for frontier justice? Kellerman never stopped paying for a split-second reaction. I read that the network pushed Simon into killing Mahoney so as to not seem to condone drugdealing so Simon retaliated by making the fallout as extensive as possible to cheat us of the "Good riddance," vibe.

Art Crawl!!!

Camcam, wouldn't that be season 1? You know -- post- lawyers in the wine cellar.

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

Season 2 is the wine cellar season.

The most recent People magazine has two pages on DB, with pictures of him, the wife and cute kid, and stills from Bones and Buffy.

Apparently he's fond of Whoopie cushions on set, though the article said nothing about any clothing-optional tendencies.

Thanks, everybody! I have some responses and the like, but I seriously lack any computer time this week, so they'll have to wait. Sorry.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have finally started my rewatch of Angel season 5. Watched Lineage last night. When robo!dad tells Angel that he is "just a puppet", I died laughing.

It has been a while since I have watched Angel and I had forgotten how truly slashy it was. I guess I had convinced myself that folks were just reading between the lines and exaggerating subtext - but no, it was there. Commando!guy telling Angel he is an old fairy and Angel just arguing the old part.... Angel saying he has no problem paddling guys...

"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

And for those episodes the slash is only running on half... cylinders. Just wait til Lindsey returns!

"Some gay porn? Less gay."

God, I never get tired of quoting that.

I have realized how much of Season 5 I had forgotten. It is fun rewatching.

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. --Tuco

Just for the record, it was S2 I was thinking of, specifically Reprise and Epiphany, where Angel takes the elevator ride with Holland, and later talks with Kate, saying (I paraphrase) that if nothing you do matters, everything you do matters. Thanks, sumi and ita.
