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?

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.

Thrive to spite them
Now i'm thinking of antlers in bad places.
Yeah if Twilight's psuedovampires is all you know Buffy is going to be a real shock.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.
You could be right, but I still think that is about torturing Angel with what she knows will hurt him. A bit of her psychic abilities coming through maybe? I could be totally wrong. Maybe she is mad that he didn't turn all her relatives so that she could torture them too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Twilight, maybe?
Nobody that is currently over....13 can have Joss's vampires be the second one they encounter. Just living, must tell you a great deal of vampy expectations, no? It's part of the Western cultural canon?

The author of Twilight claims she knew nothing about vampire lore.

Mark seems to be uniquely uninformed about popular culture. Sort of like a real-life Temperance Brennan.

The author of Twilight claims she knew nothing about vampire lore.
In view of what she wrote: not too surprising - except that why the heck write about vampires without knowing anything about them? And how can you grow up w/o having even some small knowledge of, for example, dracula?

Lore, maybe not--but reputation? I mean, she picked them--she must have known they were super strong blood drinkers who preyed on people. Otherwise she made some good guesses.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The author of a set of mystery novels featuring an elderly Sherlock Holmes claimed she didn't really know Sherlock. But I think she MUST have in order to write the way she did. Whatever.
I cannot wait until Mark gets to the Dru and Darla eps of "Angel."
Those are going to fuck.him.up.
