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.
Mark has his review of hush up early. He decided to post his comments as a "live" blog-style.
Beware the capslock...
Plus this?
I have feelings about Tara and Willow and I don’t know what to do about them. Is this real? Like please don’t let this be taken away from me because that was the most gay queer gay scene ever and I need it. Right now.
I don't know, I would have thought the sight would sear itself into the memory of any viewer, like reading The King in Yellow.
Maybe my brain was trying to protect itself?
Mark has his review of hush up early.
Every week has a couple two-post days on which the first post goes up at 5 PST and the second goes up at the regular time.
He didn't know anything about "Hush," so this bit was particularly great:
I am dearly hoping this isn’t an episode where no one says anything interesting, because that would suck so much.
And then...
OH MY GOD WHY DID I SAY THAT I WAS WORRIED NO ONE WOULD SAY ANYTHING INTERESTING. WHAT THE FUCK. I REGRET ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I’VE DONE EVER.
Also, he predicted Tara would die THREE TIMES. He's already attached! Oh, this will be sad.
Heh, I think Mark and everyone else is definitely way more into Angel now, which makes me happy! Wesley's appearance has been greeted with much joy, as has Cordelia's vision thing. I did decide to punch everyone in the gut, though, by responding to this line in Mark's review:
I'm hoping that Wesley can find his place among his old friends, though I don’t know quite what that might be yet.
"I had my throat cut and all my friends abandoned me."
And then he burned his hand on a TV dinner.
tee hee.
P-C you are a mean, mean man. But that is brilliant. I suppose posted in the spoiler text I can't read (and don't care to because, well, I never try to read the comments anywhere).
I keep catching occasional episodes on some cable channel (Chiller, I think? and sometimes Logo), and it always hits me all over again how much I love this show. I think it might be time to do a dedicated straight-through rewatch.
I wish I hadn't been watching Angel DVDs with someone who fucked me over emotionally, because it makes it unwarrantedly hard for me to even open the DVD case now.
Oh, I have movies like that. Emotional associations suck when they ... suck.
I could stand to rewatch Angel, too, but not until I get through the first three seasons of Buffy. Not that I have any idea when I'm going to do this, since I don't think S. will be interested.
From Mark Watches Doomed this made me laugh and laugh: "Oh, right, Buffy and Riley save the world and they kiss. Meh, who cares when SPIKE IS ONE OF THE SCOOBIES THIS IS THE DAY WHEN THE ANGELS SANG VICTORIOUS IN HEAVEN."
