Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

The warring tribes were the 'shippers, yes?

Oh, Deep Bitterness Society vs. the Anti-Bitter Squad, Redemptionistas vs. Evilistas, 'shippers for every possible pairing, Xander-fans, Willow-haters... Every possible opinion went to extremes.

DOOL is brilliant. Recently the actress who plays Sami was pregnant, so they had the character disguise herself as a man for nefarious purposes. And they had a man playing her role, of course. Genius! I happened to catch an episode in the middle of that and was so confused.

The evil is this way?

It ain't no weather machine.

Ah, the "golden age" of GH. By the by, I think the One True Carly!! (Sarah Brown) is on one of the CSIs this year. Or maybe one of the Law & Orders. I disremember. They all look the same.

Strega, that is truly brilliant. More shows should do that.

ETA: I know SB guests on those shows a lot. She's been on WaT twice and at least one CSI. Though! Oooh! Maybe she's going to Miami to replace Alice in Wonderland chick.

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

That Sami thing reminds me of the last time Another World brought Marlie back -- instead of having Jensen Buchanan play her and Vicky, they brought in one of the previous Vicky/Marlie actresses and had her need plastic surgery.

Ellen Wheeler. The original.

CrazyNotALesbianLady ... it really took me that long to remember her name ... Anne Heche will always be my favourite.

Anyone seen the new "Dixie" -- who may or may really be Dixie -- on "All My Children"? The actress has a reasonable resemblance to the original (I guess I should grateful that Wayne Northrup or Josh Taylor weren't available.)

And I can't believe you left out "Get a Life."

Man, I loved that show. And did Fox do Garry Shandling?

Hey. New board.

(should her show live that long, god forbid)

I'm totally the only one in the whole Buffista-land who isn't automatically convinced this show will suck, huh?

I mean, I'm not holding out much hope, but I don't think I hate JLH all that much - Can't Hardly Wait is one of my favorite guilty pleasure flicks - and, hey, talking to ghosts always has the potential, however slight, of being cool. I watched TWO shows last year about talking to strange things - God and, y'know, little fuzzy animals - and both of them were pretty great. I'm not immediately condemning of that premise.

What is even happening?

Oh, Deep Bitterness Society vs. the Anti-Bitter Squad, Redemptionistas vs. Evilistas, 'shippers for every possible pairing, Xander-fans, Willow-haters... Every possible opinion went to extremes.
I started lurking here, and a few other places in season 6, because so much of fandom was going down hil, so fast. *shudder*

Oh, and I'm sorry I missed that with Sami. That's hysterical. I'll have to ask mum and my aunt about that one, Strega.

They never brought Carrie back, did they. Tracy Middendorf (who was in Angel, episode 1:1) played Carrie Brady for a while, but Christie Clark was my favorite Carrie. I loved her with Patrick Muldoon's Austin--not so much with the other Austin.
