'Dirty Girls'


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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims, I think you were mixing it with Wash's line: "Once, I was laconic."

Don't say that cause would make Joe right and me NSM right.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Zoe's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school I was laconic."

What is even happening?

In Wild At Heart, Buffy tells Oz something like, "Now would be a good time for your trademark stoicism."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thaaaaat's it! I knew the word "terse" was involved somehow.

"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

They just aired "Hero" on TNT, and I didn't realize until the middle of it that I'd avoided rewatching since Glenn Quinn's death. I thought it was a fairly lackluster episode when I first saw it, but man does that ending get rougher in light of what happened afterwards.

Wow, remember how cute and natural the budding romance between Doyle and Cordy was? What happened to that organic, believable approach to relationships in later seasons?

Ballet, beatification, heavenly ascents, and supernatural prophylactics.

Even before then. In season 2 the show's quality was undiminished, but the Darla/Angel relationship seemed to set the tone for the rest of the series. And their dynamic made Buffy/Spike look emotionally healthy by comparison.

It occurs to me that many of Season 3's problems could have been avoided if the writers had traded off partners in the big game of Angel Investigations Spin the Bottle. If they'd followed up on the initial flirty vibe between Cordy and Gunn we could have gotten a great snarky argue-and-trade-insults-but-got-your-back pairing similar to Turk and Carla on Scrubs. Without his mooning over Cordy, I could easily see Angel getting pulled into reciprocating Fred's unrequited crush given his prior pattern with tiny, seemingly helpless women who are deceptively dangerous and have more issues than National Geographic. And that still could have helped spin a hurt Wesley off into Lila's clutches, the one good coupling spawned by all the Season 3 melodrama.

Oh, HELL YEAH. Man, that would have been AWESOME.

I want Matt to revive the show.

I want Matt to revive the show.

If there's mouth -to-mouth involved with Boreanez, perhaps we can persuade him!
