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 feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You know what's weird about Mark Watches Angel right now? He's still talking about Kate.
Yeah, he really loves the shit out of Kate. I'm not sure why. I mean, I like her all right, but I didn't even realize she was in so many episodes.
Oh man, season three is going to be fun.
We watched "Belonging" yesterday. It was fun to see him freak out over finally learning Lorne's name. And then the ending, with Cordelia sucked through the portal.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jilli and Lee, thanks. The episode was powerful in an abstract sense before; now, it's painful in an all-too real way. I wasn't expecting just how much.

From Mark's BODY post:
For now, though, it’s time for me to admit that this is the last time I’ll see Joyce Summers. And I fucking hate it.
I want Joyce Summers back right now...I want anything with her, just one more second and I would be fine with that.
Again, he needs to be careful what he wishes for because BEING NORMAL (I think that's the name of the episode where Buffy imagines herself in the asylum) is probably going to make him regret that wish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Normal Again is the one you're thinking of, I think.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Again, he needs to be careful what he wishes for
Well, the very next one is the creepy Monkey's Paw resurrected!Joyce one (I mean, an argument can be made that it *isn't* Joyce, but really, it is.) I hope that doesn't fuck Mark up too much.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That fucked me up.
I was praying to Joss that we wouldn't SEE Joyce. I'm dead serious. The last third I watched through my fingers.

Yes! Thank you. It was on the tip of my brain but I couldn't quite get it.

Always Anti-fascist!
Ironically, "Normal Again" was the first ep I watched out of syndication...man was I confused!

I never think about Kate.
Heh. I rewatched season 1 a few weeks ago via Netflix. At some point I realized that almost every regular/recurring character we see in S1 is doomed. I think Kate and Faith are the only ones who get out alive. So, hey, good on them.
I took that as further evidence that Angel probably had the right idea back in Amends.
