Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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.

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The liberal blogger Atrios has apparently recently watched "Once More with Feeling" (or at least, Buffy episodes in general), because he's using lines from it for his Open Thread posts.

"There's nothing we can't face, except for threads." "She does pretty well with threads from hell." "When the apocalypse comes...thread me." "The thread I bear is scorching me."
