I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

Swouncing

( continues...)

Oh, and you know? The first notes or whatever of the first song in the first part had a OMWF feeling, like in the part after Buffy's first song. And "evil inside of me is on the rise" at the beginning of the second part, with the fire of the homeless in the back reminded me a bit - in tone and the song, not just the fire connection - of "walk through the fire". Can anybody please explain these similarities in musical terms for me? Or are they only in my not-understanding-this-well head?

Oh, and one quick shred-of-a-beginning-of-a-thought before shabbat: it's totally the geeky science guy who doesn't know how to express himself being pushed aside by the handsome popular athlete. And we're back to the outsiders who were Buffy, her friends, Angel, his team, and all the crew of "Serenity". Only everybody gets to have more fun here. So it's a common part of superheroes stories ?

Yay, fun.

Shabbat shalom!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Nilly!

Two things:

1. I totally missed seeing DH with the mustache in the soup kitchen!

2. Yes, Nilly your definition of a spork is spot on.

I can see, as usual after a Nillynalysis, that I'm going to have to rewatch part 2 at least 16 more times. I know it will take me that many to find everything she saw in only one viewing.

NILLY!

I think the simple answer to your question about the music is a matter of composer's style. The music sounds similar because it sounds like Whedon's writing style. Like how things by John Williams all have similar characteristics.

There's probably more specificity to find there, in piano styles and whatnot, but my brain is not nearly that spicy today.

He's such a woobie, and NPH is doing a fabulous job.

(I saw a clip (probably on YouTube) of NPH doing "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeny Todd with, I think, Patti LuPone, and he broke my heart, the poor noodle.)
