I was spoiler avoidant in those days. Today I don't seek out spoilers either, but I also can never remember which shows have aired at certain times and which shows are in which threads, so I keep spoiling myself all the time now. But I don't really care, evidently.
For whatever reason things like non-fiction that really have something to be spoiled about I don't care.
Nora wondering (in Feb of 02) if the Torez spoiler has happened - and Victor saying that it had not yet.
Hee! There I am!
Being bored at work... god, nothing ever changes!
Aha! The Torez Spoiler is Riley showing up in Season 6!!!

want: Buffy Ouija board from Dark Horse
I think if I was able to commune with the spirits of the dead using a Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations With Dead People” Board it might actually rip a hole in the already thin veil between the worlds in an explosion of awesomeness. And though that could potentially unleash some rather nasty scenarios—hell dimensions, frighteningly similar but horribly wrong parallel universes, worlds with nothing but shrimp—I think that’s a risk I’m just going to have to take because it’s a freaking BTVS Ouija Board.
The Dark Horse site says:
“What is more conducive to speaking to the spirits than a game board based on the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? In the tradition of the Sunnydale Hellmouth, through which countless entities gained entry, let voices from the other side move the planchette along the board, choosing letters and numbers to answer your queries. Follow in the footsteps of Willow and hone your witchy skills, learning to communicate with the beyond!*
*Game board for entertainment purposes only.”
Heh, Plei. My brain + board skimming = very wrong absorbtion of information. This has also affected my non-board thinking too.
We watched "Blood Money" last night, which I had remembered only for the cringe-inducing videotape of Wes dancing in his underwear that Angel played at the W&H fundraiser for Anne's shelter.
What I forgot was that that episode also had Angel in Lilah's backseat, telling her "The begging comes later," as well as one of my favorite lines EVER, "Let me wipe away the tears with my PLASTIC HAND."
Oh, Lindsey. You can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all worthwhile.

Alexis Denisof really did sacrifice himself on the altar of the foolish-- remember the dancing at the party? (And Angel imagining himself dancing?)
I guess Wes really earned the right to be all badass by S4. (Mmm... Scruffy Wes)

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that Joss offered him a chance for Wes to do something heroic during the confrontation with the mayor, or being knocked out in the first few seconds. Alexis chose the early knockout because that was so fitting...
It's been a few years, so I may be remembering it wrong, though...

You're remembering right. And it was absolutely the right choice for the character at that point in his development.
