No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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.

And then he burned his hand on a TV dinner.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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).

Because books.

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.

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

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.

Because books.

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.

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

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."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Mark's up to "Goodbye Iowa". This made me laugh:

I still can’t figure out what Adam’s “purpose” might be. Why did Professor Walsh create him?

Yeah, if you DO figure that out, please let me know. Joss too, by the way.

Always Anti-fascist!

Dude, she's a researcher...does she really need a bigger purpose than "to see what happens?" Although I would agree that the narrative would have been enhanced by having one...but iirc, they found out sooner than expected that the actress that played Dr. Walsh couldn't be there and compressed the arc. Unless I'm crazy(SORRY MARK!) But that could be, too.(Also, that was about eleven million fandoms...or at least eleven, ago...I could have become unmoored from BTVS arcana.)

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

Yep.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That's right - I'd forgotten about that. They had that a bit of that season 4, what with Seth Green asking to go.
