Buffistas

We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Film and TV discussion

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.

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

Somebody wayback once noted that Angel reacted while Buffy acted. Buffy consistently showed a strong ability to improvise and exploit weaknesses in her enemies. Angel's plans sucked and they were usually reactions rooted in Must Protect Damsel.

However, I will note that as Angelus he was a master of protracted campaigns of terror (Driving Dru mad, Giles' Romantic Night 'O Death, playing Big Rubber Satan). Maybe a souled-up Angel is an overemotional/irrational Angel. (Maybe a souled up Angel is a bit of a damsel himself. Sort of like Xander.)

In that respect they butched him up a bit for his own show, but he was forever being saved/nursed back to health by Buffy when they were together.

Trust my rage

Oddly, it's the Sadie Hawkins/50's ghost ep where I see it strongest, that moment when the ghosts leave and it's Angelus and Buffy staring at her, and Angelus bolts instead of ripping her head off.

t sigh

One of my favorite episodes ever.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Angelus/Big Rubber Satan 4 EVAH!!!!1!

Damn it.

I agree that B/A is a see-it-or-don't, which makes it near-impossible to explain. And other than that, I'm sticking to whatever it was I said earlier.

resolving anything with a modern day empowered Drusilla.

In my universe, Drusilla is happily drifting around the country. She and Miss Edith pick new cities to visit, Dru buys postcards, and then she goes looking for interesting dinner companions.

Heh, in *my* universe she's wandering around offing baby Slayers.

Well, they DO fall under the 'interesting dinner companion' heading ...

I assume Dru looks for Happy Meals; she likes to play with her food, bless her.
