Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
even over on Angel with the demon underground and Wolfram & Hart. it never quite felt the same. W&H, in particular, was a corporation instead of a family, with a literal dog-eat-dog atmosphere.
I see what you mean now. I liked the W&H stuff, though -- corporatizing evil that way worked really well for me, and I liked the rungs of power, as well as the idea of the faceless Senior Partners.
Something I forgot to mention; Darla really has a history of underestimating Angel's bond with Buffy, both here and on his show. She makes a comment in the second scene in his apartment about, "Did you think she'd look at your face - your true face - and give you a kiss?" And of course, Buffy does just that one season later.
When I watch the action scenes all I think is "John Woo! John Woo!"
And then I'm reminded how BtVS always stole the cool action stuff from the movies they liked whether it's The Matrix or LoTR.
We went back and watched "The Pack" which freaked Emmett's shit. He's in the tub now, "I can't get that laugh out of my head!"
missed the last two Tuesdays . i think I might have to watch both eps back to back - Thursday or friday - just to see what I see.
Cindy will be proud. Emmett reminded me in the car, "Tuesday is Buffy night!"
I love Emmett.
Y'know I've always known that I was overly sentimental. it struck me last night when I was cleaning out my TiVo because i'm going to be out of town all next week, and I wanted to make sure that there's enough room. I recorded the rebroadcast of Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest. It's taking up 28% of my capacity right now, I own the box set of DVDs, yet I cannot bring myself to delete it. *sigh*
Vortex, my sister. I cannot delete the WB showing of WTTH/TH that they aired on their last night on the air. Can't do it. Also can't delete a bunch of BtVS and A:ts episodes, even though I have the DVDs, because it feels "mean."
What's up with that?
I love Emmett.

What's up with that?
We are fans, my children. BtVS is in our blood, working its will over us. And there is something about keeping it in its "original" context -- broadcast over a network, commercials and all -- that is part of the way we have been indoctrinated. Resistance is futile.
It's true. Sad and pathetic, but true.
Kind of like the way I still have all of my old videotapes of Buffy and Angel, complete with special Buffy labels *sigh*
