I am the white-fonting part Vonnie. I stopped counting the number of times I saw that song, and specifically that part (or maybe it's just the wall thing, and then I just might have a thing for scenes with walls and agony in them).
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Hee! Vonnie I've been singing that same part over and over today.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hee, Shir, I think it just may be the wall thing. Well, wall and the agony, like you said. The beginning of that bit when NPH *throws* himself to the wall -- OK, I find that hotter than anything in the whole show. And the way his voice goes for broke when he sings "evil inside of me"? Day-um. And the clever, clever lyrics. I particularly love the way Billy's line of "how the world's full of filth and lies" and Penny's "how the world's finally growing wise" start together, diverge, and come back on that final "-ise".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've seen that wall duet scene before. Was it West Side Story ?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I watched Act III earlier today, and was completely caught off-guard by the ending. The tonal shift just smacks you upside the head.
I just re-watched all the way through, and the tonal shift still seems rather abrupt. However, part of me wonders if it is Joss sort of saying "Hello, you're rooting for the bad guy! What exactly did you think was going to happen?"
I don't know. It still seems a bit off, somehow. Overall, I think that Act II is my favorite of the three.
That said, Bad Horse actually being a horse fills me with glee for some reason. I wonder if that's just Joss being goofy or it's a joke aimed at all the hyper-intelligent evil gorillas that exist in comic books.
Overall, though, I completely agree with the assesment that NPH is made of awesome in this.

I just caught that the Wonderfluonium case says, "DO NOT BOUNCE."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Well, I have no idea where and if I've seen the wall duet before, but I now declare myself as a "Wall of Agony" genre fan. Two people (or more!), one wall, tons of agony, possibly singing. You just can't go wrong with that, you know?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I dreamed the music all last night -- no tthe words, just the music. Of course, there was a red tabby kitten named Harriet in my dream. and some world saving. I guess I needed a sound track

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
