I'm not sure even Angelus could stand to be around a sparkly vampire even for torturing purposes. Pretty sure he'd stake him just on GP.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
(laughing) you know, I think you might be right. Can you imagine Angelus and Spike in the old days coming across him?

I suspect they would have a lot of fun finding out just what kills a sparkly vampire of Edward Cullen's variety. Something must. Maybe acetone? To remove the sparkles and the invulnerability to sunshine?

Surely, there is a story out there somewhere, right?

It might be fun to situate the story in Pylea too...

Haven't seen the movie, but just finished reading the Twilight books, and I've got to say, if they fought, Book!Edward would beat Show!Angelus. I mean, we can see Angelus move. I realize that this is probably because Angel is played by a person who, while gorgeous, lacks those mad vampire skillz, but still. Of course, Edward is even more goody-two-shoes than Angel, so he would probably never fight anyway.
From what I hear, I would agree with you all when the movie came into the picture.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Maybe acetone?
A mixture of acetone, turpentine, and benzine -- otherwise known as The Dip.
Oh noes! The secret is out: the sparkly vampires are actually Toons!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Angel was fast enough (or psychic enough) to spin and catch a crossbow bolt fired at his back from about 20 feet away, and while evil frequently did that appear-next-to-someone-when-they're-not-looking trick. He also did a running high jump of at least 3 stories to catch a helicopter, and has punched his way through a brick wall. I think those kind of feats should be used for any comparison rather than David Boreanaz's physical fight choreography limitations. (Though I only know enough about the Twillight books to mock the overwrought angst, so maybe Edward juggles cars in them or makes sonic booms while running?)

Hmmm, pretty close . I did not at all expect to like the Twilight books, but a friend bought them for me. Even then, they sat in the box for a couple of months, but then I got home from a trip and needed brain candy, and just over a week later I had read nearly 2500 pages of overly angsty, but otherwise pretty good writing.
