Jilli, I agree, that's why I mentioned that she enjoyed torturing Angel, not to make him pay for what he did to her but just because she likes to torture.

I'm amusing myself by imagining Dru's plans for a typical day. Choose a pretty dress, torture Angel (or someone, but it would be nice if it were Angel), have a tea party with Miss Edith, go name all the stars.

And she was mostly torturing Angel because she enjoys it.

Yeah, but she enjoys it especially because she gets to torture HIM, specifically, who tortured her. I don't think there's any sort of "closure" involved, though, I agree.

Plus he was totally freaked out by the fact Giles and Willow killed vampires on screen. I'm not sure what's so shocking about that.

Well, it's always cool when the normal, non-powered people get to kill vamps.

Yes, see also not understanding that Angels wounds heal quickly because he is a vampire.

Now that was weird.

I miss Dru & Spike as a couple. They were adorable together.

Yeah, they were very fun. Though I'm still amused that she eventually went off and found a...tree demon? Was that it? He had deer horns and was slimy or something.

It’s not something the writers could have done, but it seemed like a conscious choice to include that in the script.

What does that even mean?

I feel like there's a typo in there somewhere because, yeah. Not with the sense.

A Chaos Demon.

Do you know how many episodes of Buffy featured vampires torturing each other? Because Tep does. Tep knows everything.

"They're all slime and antlers."

or Steph is me.

They had a great chemistry. Despite teasing Mark, pretty much, I do understand what it's like when your shit interferes with artistic intention...it happened to me with "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind", which, thanks to crip baggage, wigged me out so much, I never finished watching it. But it would be weird if I blogged about it as if it were a horror flick to everyone else...it's not...my experience gets in the way of having the vision the filmmakers intended...blank mind just means, like, forced lobotomy and TOO SCARY.(Although like anyone, I have moments I would scrub.)

"They're all slime and antlers."

That's exactly the quote I had in my head.

I don't know if it means the writers couldn't have brought closure to Druscilla, but they made a conscious choice to try and give her an attempt at closure. Or something. Hopefully there's a typo.

I get that it's cool when the civilians kill vampires, but Mark mentioned "onscreen" which I thought was a weird emphasis.

I know that Mark didn't read much sci fi or fantasy but did he have an understanding of vampires before watching this? Because it seems like he's expecting them to be mostly human and interact with the world in a mostly human kinda way.

He wasn't sure how a vampire rented an apartment. But that kind of thing has been dealt with in other stories. Even if it hadn't it's an easy guess - Angel pays cash.
