'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

I followed through most of the Season 8 series, and afterwards thought I probably should have left well enough alone with "Chosen" as the final chapter in Buffy's saga.

I stopped reading the comic after the issue where Buffy and Angel have sex and ascend to heaven. At least, I think that's what happened. I may have rolled my eyes so hard that the memory of what happened in the comic became a little hazy.

Actually, after the catastrophe that Jilli talked about, the series got better. There were still some "err, really?" moments, but I've followed along until the current break (there may be a season 10). The future slayer Fray and Brian K. Vaughn Faith/Giles episodes were definitely worth checking out. And if you've never read the original Fray series, that's definitely worth checking out.

Have you also watched Angel? The series after the show ended had some interesting stuff even though the artwork was terrible. I thought the following Angel & Faith series was pretty good, though.

"Contentment is the enemy of invention."

I haven't seen Angel, but I did check out Fray awhile ago. Haven't finished it, but I thought it was pretty cool. I like how it didn't just rehash Buffy, but I kind of missed the old group dynamic.

Got Buffy: Chaos Bleeds on Xbox as a Christmas present from my friend today. Super excited to play it! Anyone played any Buffy games before? There's meant to be a tonne.

All is well that ends in pizza.

How did it go Z-I?

"Contentment is the enemy of invention."

It's kind of dated, and the cast aren't all accounted for, but it's pretty fun to play. The first Xbox game is supposed to be better, but I haven't found a copy yet.

I started Angel recently. I'm not sure I'll watch it all the way through. That said though, the theme is excellent.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

This just makes me happy: I was scrolling through io9, and there's an article on the best character makeover (in terms of character development, not a literal trip to the Clinique counter). And the pictures that go with the article made me SO HAPPY (because I happen to agree 100% that he has the best damn character arc ever): [link]
