Heh. Oh, I remember the sobbing mess I was at the end of The Gift...
Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
The Gift forced me to write long fanfic (the trilogy is still not complete) just to get the image of the Scoobies reacting to the dive out of my head.
As memories of Mark Hellish surface....
If I'm remembering correctly, Mark and I might have been the only two people who wanted Faith dead, yes?
Incidentally, Mark Watches The Body is up.
It's a really good review, too. And the comments are also worth reading, if you like personal stories about death.
P-C,
well thanks for that warning. I will not go that way.
Morgana,
I wanted Faith off the show, but I'm not sure I was as strong as wishing for death. I get it though.
As much as I too love Joyce(and probably won't watch The Body again cause Joyce even looks like my mom) there is something about the way Mark writes that makes me want to say "She's a *character*, Mark."

I think for me it was a response to a lot of "ooh, she's so hot" comments as opposed to actual narrative discussion. I got tired of the heaving bosoms and lip gloss, as well as being massively tired of the personality. (And no, I didn't find it hot or arousing when she tortured Wesley.) However, I know a lot of people really did enjoy watching her.
(And no, I didn't find it hot or arousing when she tortured Wesley.)
Holy crap, I didn't either. I found it horrible and disturbing.
Actually, there were people who thought it hot. I found Angel's efforts to help her laudable, but by that point I was so tired of Faith, and she had done so much damage to pretty much every one of the Scoobies, that I was done with her. By the time she had moved on to torture, yeah, I was ready for her to go.
