You know, first I wrote "concord," and saw the setup, and so then I started to change it to "harmony," but...

...but that would set up a whole 'nother set of jokes.

Cindy -- But I don't understand the distinction you're making. And I'm curious about it. So if you agree with me, I'm even more confused. Or was that your plan all along? Hmm.

If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

I don't know. I think the line mostly exists in my head. I'll try again. Buffy was drawn to the fight. She went looking for it. She patrolled to find trouble.

Week to week (mostly), Angel got involved, because someone said, "Angel Investigations please help us," and/or the Powers that Be sent him an engraved invitation through Doyle or Cordy's headaches; or he or one of his own was threatened. Before that, he needed Buffy to bring him to the fight.

I would probably do better to rewatch some Angel, so I could bring some examples to the table. All I can think of now is City of, Eternity, Judgement, Untouched, and the like. He then (often literally) fought as someone's champion, fought for someone who couldn't help himself.

Joss is TV Guide's Guest Columnist of the week, and he's extra flamey Jossy. He fawns all over...well...himself, takes a playful poke at all the CSIs, name-checks Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, continues his obsession with lint, shamelessly plugs Serenity, and loves all over Veronica Mars. Again. It's a delightful read if you love Joss. No spoilers: [link]

Saw The Complete Buffy and The Complete Angel at Costco today for $150 and $125, respectively. I had to remind myself that food and shelter still trump Joss. (But not clothing.) Also, the Serenity cover is truly pathetic.

I saw that too, but the Complete Buffy set I saw was specially packaged, with extra bonus material not found in the regular sets. The Complete Angel I saw was just the five Angel season sets packed together in another, bigger box.

Scott and I have on some oldies radio station. He's in the living room, dismantling the Christmas tree. I'm in the den, having a glass of wine, because I snacked while I was cooking dinner, and gave myself a belly ache...

...but anyhow, it's a 70s weekend, or summat, on Oldies 103.3. They'd just played Seasons in the Sun and You're no good, then the very first notes of Mandy played, and I thought, "I'm with Angel. It's kinda of pretty."

Scott's voice came from the other room, "I kind of think it's pretty."

"And so it is, ya great big sap."

Watching a Britromcom with Dougray Scott (and Jennifer Love Hewitt, don't hate me). Random courtroom scene...fellow stating an alibi. "I was home by 10. You see, Buffy was on and I never miss it."

Deeply in the cultural fabric.

Whedonesque tells me that not only is Owen from NKABOTFD in Love Monkey but so is Riley's wife Sam. (Didn't recognize her at all.)

I KNEW I'd seen her somewhere, and could NOT place her. Thank you!!

BTW, I quite enjoyed Love Monkey. You know what I think is interesting? I think that networks are paying TiVo to have their shows not "clipped". for the second time, I told the TiVo to record LM, but Commander in Chief stops at 10:01. I have to jump through hoops to get it to clip LM instead of CiC. I have a Season Pass for CiC, so don't you think that it would get priority over a show that I'm recording once?

Joss, on slash, at Whedonesque:

Honestly, what's most fascinating is that every post here tells me more about the poster than about the subject matter. That's what makes fiction grand. I will say a few things:

1)When I called James "the best ingenue Angel ever had" I merely meant that there was enormous acting chemistry between them. After throwing different actresses up against David (sometimes literally) it was gratifying to find someone who brought out passion in David's performance that I'd never seen. I mean, look at Caveman vs Astronauts, for god's sake! David is off the charts hilarious. I learned early on to film those two in one-ers instead of regular coverage because their energy just kept increasing. Others have misinterpreted that quote before.

2)What may or may not have happened is entirely up to the viewer, that's what makes it art. Having said that, I know EXACTLY what happened and it's funny that I'm never going to tell anyone. But did no one see the obvious smoldering passion between the Blue Hand guys? MAN, did you guys miss the boat.

3)In my world, heroes bugger each other senseless. Not all of them, but more than you'd think, and probably not who you're thinking. But seriously, Anybody here care to tell Apollo and the Midnighter how a hero should behave? To their faces? joss | January 20, 19:00 CET
