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.

did he have an understanding of vampires before watching this?

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.

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.

wrod. And she likes that stuff.

I think she is mad at Angel for no longer being Angelus.

Oooh, yeah. She's just so delighted when she gets Daddy back.

"They're all slime and antlers."

Good God, deer horns, what the hell was I thinking.

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.

That too, but I feel like a line like "Say 'uncle.' Oh, that's right, you killed my uncle" implies that there's a component of vengeance in there as well. Perhaps a small one. I mean, I don't think she's super beaten up about it because she's no longer the woman she was, but I think there's some of it in there.

Not even getting into the first half of that sentence, which doesn't even seem to be English, isn't everything they include in a script a conscious choice?

wrod.
