Rewatched "Perfect Couple." And nope, I still like it. Pulp noir, right? I think that's what it was.
The misdirection throughout doesn't cheat, and it's fun to rewatch when you know what's going on. I actually think Benson did a good job because she has a to walk a line so that her behavior reads one way the first time, but doesn't conflict with the ah-ha moment. She's not entirely convincing in the last scene, maybe. The hot bartender's interest in Rebecca mostly camouflages the fact that he's a font of convenient knowledge. And of course the music when they visit his place is hilarious.
Nitpicks: The hand-stamps are nice at the start and get a little anvil-y. I don't get why she pulled over saying Roddy was behind them -- I can believe that was her routine to scare the victims out away from the road, but with a car pulling right up right behind her? I assume that they shouldn't have looked like they were quite that close.
And on a meta note, I'm amused by the fact that this is, what, the third show from Tim featuring a bartender as a possible romantic interest? Okay, Lorne wasn't technically a bartender, but close enough.
Wonderfalls' bartender wasn't my creation, it was Fuller's. And I think Edlund or Silverstein came up with this bartender.
And my sextenders don't even make a dent in all the pregnant women I've attacked. And ya'll didn't even see the one in Strange World.

Yeah, what's that about?
And how many of Cordy's demon pregnancies were yours anyway?
I gotta be honest -- I did write about two acts of "Expecting." Pretty much the stuff from when they bring Cordy back to Angel's place with her drinking the blood in his fridge and clunking Wesley with the book. But I was only helping.
I watched Aidan today. It made my week. I didn't realize how much I missed the show. "Feel-good dead baby episode of the year" was a very accurate description.
Okay, Strega. I just watched "Perfect Couple" again. Distance for me helps. It works on its own mish-mashy camp level, actually. What an odd thing. "You sunk our battleship! Little miss trailer park pap-smear!"
Not you. I was quoting. Oh, nevermind.
all the pregnant women I've attacked.
Do you secretly yearn to be closer to the earth?
Yay. And yes, that whole scene is so funny and wrong. "I have to express myself, too!"

That really needs to be your new tagline.
