With or without the previouslies?
'Safe'
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.

That was the question I asked Mark.
With.
me rooting for Illyria when it was taking over. "Bleat at me no longer. We're done" was like saying everything I'd wanted to say to Fred for three years.
Yep.
I was shocked to realize I didn't dislike Amy Acker as an actress. I'm just really not a Fred girl at all.
I do remember my head exploding at Wolf, Ram, and Hart, though.
Not that they actually did anything with that.

Did they intend to? I thought the books were just to make the point that W&H had its tentacles in every dimension. Not that they were explicitly behind Fred's disappearance, or anything else specific. Just...here they are, even on Pylea.
Despite the fun things about the Pylea episodes, I hated them. Hated the whole stupid Queen Cordelia storyline, hated Groo, hated how that utterly barbaric culture was played for laughs. If we could've gone in, got Cordy, picked up Fred, let Angel dance in the sunlight, gawked at Lorne's weird family, and got out in 1 episode, I would've been okay with it, but making me sit through 3 episodes of that dreck was just uncalled-for.
I didn't hate Fred, I thought she was an interesting character. I hated the love triangle like fire, though. Also? I hated pancake kisses. Hated that relationship entirely. She should have been with Wesley all along.
Well, but then no Lilah-Wesley. . .
She should have been with Wesley all along.
Oh I completely disagree. She never should have been with Wesley at all.
(I hate it when long-term TV crushes get together. It stops the story dead in its tracks, every time.)
It stops the story dead
Literally. (Or, well, *Fred's* story.)
I felt vindicated that they took so much time to underscore that Fred was really most sincerely dead. The silver lining of the cancellation was that Joss never got the chance to undo that and inflict reconstituted Fred on us.
