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.

But that didn't stop her from being an intolerably shrill, whiny, manipulative, troublemaking little McGuffin for most of the rest of the series.

I love this. And if she had died or been reKeyed at the end of the season, that would have been fine. But, she stayed around and got the hell on my nerves. Of course my hatred of her helped me not notice that season 6 was sucking so badly, so I guess that she served a purpose.

I always thought she was one of the reasons for the suckiness.

I'll grant you that.

I don't remember discussing Twin Peaks with people either.

Oh, I did. Endlessly. But not that character - he was pretty bland and boring, but not hated.

Maybe we just weren't meta-aware enough.

Livia didn't get old for me, either. And I'm pretty damn fond of Al Swearengen.

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

I feel bad because if you read the scripts they did spend some time developing Dawn into a more interesting, mordant character, but her lines kept getting cut.

Also feel bad for Will Wheaton and Robbie Rist (a significant musician in LA's pop scene for yars), since they both went on to become interesting, thoughtful, creative adults.

Hey, at least Trekkies distinguish between Wheaton and Wesley Crusher and only call for the grisly death of the latter.

Hey. New board.

I still like Dawny. I think as much for the potential as the result, but that's what I like about all of Seasons 5 and 6.

I'm a big fan of potential. Part of why I love some interestyng but mediocre movies like Ella Enchanted.

Also, Michelle Trachtenburg is pretty.

I liked Wesley Crusher. I think I was just the right age.

Wil Wheaton is hawt.

I might have to check them out. I tend not to read tv or movie scripts as I'm not good at visualizing from them. Kind of odd considering how much I love reading everything else, even scripts for plays.

Psst, Ailleann, I don't know about right age or not, but I usually liked Wesley Crusher too, and agree with you and Hec that Wil Wheaton is an interesting guy and not hard on the eyes at all.
