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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was fine with Eve as "mouthpiece for the Senior Partners" being kind of bland and uninteresting, but once she started hatching her own plots and sleeping with Lindsay, they really needed someone with more screen presence.

I also think she was poorly written, but actorly charisma goes a long way towards hiding thinly written characters.

I think the actress was ungood, but the character was poorly conceived from the jump. If Whedon wanted us to think she was subtle, maybe he shouldn't have named her Eve and introduced her in a scene where she tosses an apple at the main character. Barf.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

introduced her in a scene where she tosses an apple at the main character.

Which inspired one of my favorite lines from your recaps, the bit about having a very loose definition of "action show."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

As I remember, a lot of times she seemed off and/or wooden.

They should have just gone with Adam Baldwin from the start.

Well, that whole episode with Angel having sex with Senior Partners' rep would have gone very differently, I think.

This is true for so many things.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Well, that whole episode with Angel having sex with Senior Partners' rep would have gone very differently, I think.

This was the first thought that came to my mind.

Not that it wouldn't have been an improvement.
