Is he going to have a lot of pretty pretty sidekicks?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I started to wish the producers ill for retreading the idea when Angel hasn't really moldered in its grave yet. But then I realized this show will probably be a lightning rod for the attention of all the Spike fangirls, and I couldn't come up with any curses more poetic than that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hopefully, the ones who tormented me (or tried to) at Whedonesque in my book thread. Completely off their rockers.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Truly, Matt, that is a curse worthy of the Empress.

I thought of Angel, myself. Which Zap2It did too, it seems.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I thought of Angel, myself.
I was making a joke, what with Angel being the obvious point of reference at this board. Plus the old gripe among Forever Knight fans that Angel was a ripoff. And if I keep explaining this joke I'm sure it'll get funnier and funnier. That's how it works with humor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, P-C is a bit young for Forever Knight.
Funnily, I thought of it first.
