Moonlit -- extremely funny rugby list. And yeah, where were the Welsh? They win games every now and then. They were particularly good for a while when they had a Kiwi coach.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Thank God for tape fairies.
Hee. Do I get to wear a tiara? And sparkly shoes? (Never let it be said that I will pass up the chance to wear something shiny and dance around like a fool.)
I got upset (and by 'got upset' I mean 'went fairly hysterical'), pissed off my mum with my ranting and ruined the episode for myself because I kept brooding
That sucks, Emlah. But if it's any consolation, I've done the exact same thing myself (well 'exact same' apart from the bit where my angst was completely self-inflicted). I have a stupid capricious VCR which one night decided to start recording when I told it too, but then stop mysteriously five minutes into an episode of Angel. Panic and gnashing of the teeth ensued, because it wouldn't start recording again--it didn't matter whether I pressed record softly or hard, or danced in a tutu with a duck on my head before using my pinkie-toe to press said o-so-precious button. Now, I could have just taken the tape out and walked the five or so metres into the other room, with to the other television and the other VCR , but nooooooo, I had waste time getting all upset and threatening an inanimate object with dismemberment. And then I had to ruin the episode by sulking about the five minutes I missed recording because of my own stupidity.

Looks interesting, moonlit. I think I'll bookmark it for the weekend, when in theory my parents will be packed and gone. They're moving to the coast on Thursday and packing the crap they've accumulated over the past 21 years has been quite an experience. We're currently engaged in a lively 'discussion' about who gets the kitchen table.

To every idea a shelf...

Hee! Your story does make me feel better. I feel wonderfully validated.

Ha, turns out Channel 7 are having a "special encore screening" tomorrow (translation: an "OK, we fucked up, please stop sending as death threats screening") of the ep. of Angel they screened an hour early, so I didn't need your tape after all Leigh! Oh well, thanks a million anyway, it will be on its way back to you soon.
Re: Buffy tonight--I don't think I need to whitefont this but I'm a bit confused about where everyone is so... Xander's eye! Did that just happen? Of course I don't care about those dead potential slayers, it's Xander's eye that's freaking me out! Caleb is a great character though, and that guy should have played Riley.

Angus... yeah, that was *Xander's eye*. It happened. High HSQ, huh? And yes, Caleb is great. Nat Fillion is wonderful. I like Caleb. They could have done more with him, it could have been better, but I like him anyway. A lot.

Oh, forgot because I was traumatised, but Andrew's Faith backstory monologue/montage was SO GREAT!

Just saw Sacrifice. 'Twas a delightful gay romp. And I do mean gay--I spent a significant portion of the episode wondering aloud at the television why Angel doesn't give over and just kiss Wesley already, because really? Him and his 'we must feel nothing!' parade of repression ain't fooling anyone.
The white font is just vague character stuff from the episode.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm laughing at the parade of repression thing. I'm picturing a Fred Nile-sponsored alternative to the G&L Mardi Gras.

Oh, it was, wasn't it? I'd say they should film it and show it every Christmas, but they have and I'm tempted to do just that.
Otherwise, I'm unsure about how I feel about the episode. Because I know how I feel about specific parts of it (namely the Faith/Spike scene. My. God. Watching that was very enlightening--I now fully understand why there's a sub-genre of erotic film where women just sit around completely clothed and smoke) but overall I'm a bit iffy on the over-the-top misogynistic priest and his wacky southern accent. Nathan Fillion was great, I thought, all disturbingly charismatic and whatnot, but the character seems terribly anvilicious. It makes everything so 'Look! This is about Empowerment! Of the Women! Please stand still while I get something heavy and hit you in the head, just so you don't forget it!' and I'm used to BtVS being a leetle more subtle than that.
