Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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 just watched it again last night.

I just watched it again recently too. It's still a great episode, but, Jesus, does Joss hammer the thematics. The first twenty minutes is basically nothing but characters setting up the theme of the episode. Talk, say, communicate, shut up, how many different ways can we have people mention talking or saying things??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought Hush had one of the creepiest monsters Joss ever brought to screen, but that sort of sustained emotional reaction? I have no idea what's prompting it.

Sometimes you are callous and strange.

From Mark's take on Rm w/a Vu

Oh my god, never have two people had so little sexual chemistry and so much comedic compatibility as Angel and Cordelia. I AM SO HAPPY SHE IS ON THIS SHOW.

I wonder what he's going to think when they start going there. You know the "there" I mean.

Well at least that's one thing he and I had the same reaction to. The Cordelia who said "'cause of how the only guy that ever liked her turned into a vicious killer and had to be put down like a dog?" in Buffy's hearing made the perfect comedic foil for Angel's manpain.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

deep-seated phobia of not being able to speak.

This is entirely possible, given the amount of talking he does.

He's up to Wild at Heart.

I kind of want to believe that it was an elaborate joke and that he’ll just show up in the next episode and say, “Okay, I worked it all out!”

Well, not the next episode.

Cue evil laughter
