Buffy ,'Lessons'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Saw Micah at Borders. It's a skinny little book to begin with, but when I saw the very generous linespacing that probably made it 20 pages longer, I thought the publisher should be ashamed to offer a short story as an entire book.
my fondness for Jason. It's kind of telling that the emotionally healthiest character in the series is a porn-star/stripper werewolf.
I am shallow: I like Jason better ever since someone suggested his character should be played by Ewan McGregor.

Hmmm, shame or profit, shame or profit. I choose...

I am equally shallow, since that may well have been me. And, seriously, if they could afford him wouldn't he be fabulous in the role? Plus, no worries about him willingly doing the nekkid scenes.
Well, then, Calli: thanks for the image. Mmmmmm. This could make up for all the ick that is Richard.
thanks for the image.
Heh--you're welcome.
all the ick that is Richard.
Yeah. I thought the character has some promise when introduced--his issues played nicely against Anita's. But LKH hasn't had any idea of what to do with him for years.
If budget was no object I think I'd have him played by Hugh Jackman. Then if he's scripted close to the source (ugh) at least my eyes would have fun.
I agree, Richard started out promising. Then he devolved into stomping around complaining all the time. He was a pain because he couldn't accept what he was, or Anita either. Too much like Riley Finn for my taste.
I think that is what I most dislike about LKH. What she did to Richard. I can't accept that he can be Alpha Male and dislike what he is . that makes no sense. I liked him. but he is such a whiner now. and our friend the vampire was definatly sexier , but since group sex is all the rage and everyone must have sex and don't forget sex magic.. his appeal is gone.
but Anita only has sex with men , right - I can't really remember. so I guess there is one taboo out there.
She harps on that so much it seems kind of self-loathing to me and I'm just a Kinsey 1.

For me, his appeal vanished about the fifteenth time he popped out of the shadows to reiterate to Anita that she was his Human Servant in the introductory novel. The term eventually grew as meaningless as endless repitition from the mouths of politicians made "stay the course."
