Alexis chose the early knockout because that was so fitting...
You're remembering right. And it was absolutely the right choice for the character at that point in his development.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Angel imagining himself dancing is what made me fall in love with David Boreanaz. So cheerfully, cheerfully dorky.

Art Crawl!!!
I can't believe that the stupid ouija board gets made and the awesome Tarot cards don't.

The first time that scene aired, I laughed so hard I fell off the couch. Probably because it built up - there was a definite lag between processing what I was seeing initially and reacting to it.

As I recall, it was the rapid-fire hand clapping that utterly sold me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree.
I'm like a fucking toddler amused by the same damn thing. That clapping gets me every.single.time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I remember Plei saying that she started watching Angel in the middle(ish) of S2, and that she seriously thought that Wes and Gunn were in a relationship.
We watched "Thin Dead Line" the other night, and DAMN if that isn't true. Gunn's reactions to gut-shot!Wes are 100% L-U-V.
Even The Boy agreed, and he's more disinclined to see slash where there is no canonical basis.

Heh-- they were, weren't they? However, I will forever maintain that the majority of S2 they were building up to a one hundred percent grown-up relationship between Cordy and Wes that all of a sudden took a left turn to Pylea.

I don't see it yet, but we have a while to go before Pylea.
(Oh, and "Happy Anniversary"? Still. Just. As. Lame. Joss did a much better job with Dr. Horrible's freeze ray [not a death ray or an ice beam; that's all Johnny Snow].)

No, I started watching Angel the day it aired. I did, however, seriously believe (pre-fanfic days) that Wes and Gunn were in a relationship in S2. Like, they introduced Fred, and I was wicked confused, because weren't those guys both gay?
Ahem.
(Later, I'm watching that one where Fred decides to stay, and they're painting her room, and I'm kind of seeing where they're working in the eventual triangle, and then Wes and Gunn start arguing about painting techniques or something and they are SO TOTALLY MARRIED, and I throw up my hands and give up trying to believe in their heterosexuality again.)
I *did* think on rewatch that they were building to Cordy/Gunn at one point. Which would have rocked. For what it is worth.
