Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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.

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

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

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.

A Chaos Demon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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

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.

Thrive to spite them

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.

Twilight, maybe? And I'm not kidding. If you go from the ridiculous vegetarian baseball-playing human-loving sparkly vamps to...well, to Spike and Dru and Angelus, I can see the culture shock.

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

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.

I think she especially enjoys torturing Angel, but not for the reasons you mention. She is torturing him with what he did to her because she knows he has a soul now and he feels guilty for what he did, not because she is mad at him for what he did to her. If anything, I think she is mad at Angel for no longer being Angelus.
