(Just don't ask me to explain why Pylea worked fine for me but TGIQ made me want to punch my tv.)
Oh well see, as much as I think Pylea did a terrible disservice to the first 19 (or whatever) fabulous episodes of season 2 A:ts, it didn't make me want to do violence the way TGIQ did.
I think I might have offended Ultimate Drew's (lovely) webmistress with my screed (at the Beta Bronze) directed to U.Drew and DeKnight. Like the Pylea arc, there were bits of the TGIQ I enjoyed, but those bits didn't earn the bits I hated so much I can tell I need to stop talking about it now because I feel my ire rising and why did they do that and oh bad writers no biscuit you're making me go all stream of consciousness and this isn't the time or place and look at that cup of iced tea I should take a sip and scroll up again and try to find something amusing that gets my blood pressure to back off a little bit because I'm getting angry all over again and it's just so urgh.
*cough*
Whenever ME tried to explain things, I hurt inside.
Hee!

Cindy rants so I don't have to.
I still remember popping back in to the UPN Bronze to gripe about what a betrayal of Joss' early pro-nerd stance Andrew was, with a side of I'm-glad-this-walking- minstrel-show-has-been-reclaimed-for-heterosexuality-by-the-Bond-Girls. If I recall correctly, some newbie who was outraged that anyone would dare be less than complimentary to her snookie ookums Ultimate Drew called me on how not liking Andrew showed how obviously insecure I was in my own sexuality.
Bwah hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah!

Cindy. I hate TGIQ so very very very much.
HAHAHA.
Oh, my. Did you, err... set her straight, for want of a better term?
I see his attractiveness, but I don't feel it.
I didn't even see it on Pylea. But once he got his hair cut, wow! The long hair made his mouth look funny. It's a thing.
I should go back and watch, but I'm all confused about TGIQ. Isn't that the Italian one with fake!Buffy and The Immortal?
Ok. Thanks. In that case, I hated that episode with a passion. Blech. Double blech. Horrid.
edited to add the only thing I didn't hate about the ep: ptui!

Actually, Allyson responded on my behalf before I returned to catch up on the discussion. At any rate, I'd be willing to let one mincing, negative portrayal slide given Larry, Willow, and Tara (and most of the cast of Angel at one time or another) if not for the issue of the formerly geek-friendly show holding Andrew up for ridicule over many of the traits that were once lauded as strengths in the main characters. And the audience.
