Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I haven't looked but is there any thought/conjecture as to what will happen in the AtS universe, re the awakening of the power in all the girls? Will it be incorporated now that BtVS is no more, or will it be ignored?

I'm hoping it won't be ignored b/c it could prove interesting in light of the direction Angel has taken but I'm guessing it won't be mentioned.

If I only had a brain...

I think Slayers have always been ignored in Angel; I'd expect that to continue.

I always felt it had more to do with the change of network, since it wasn't the case in Season 1 of Angel (and the 1st ep of Season 2) but you're probably right about it being ignored.

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

How do you mean? Both living slayers have appeared on the show, and W&H was keeping track of them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I was just assuming that, at some point, it'll be too tempting to *not* bring in the multiple Slayer storyline.

Hey, do you think Justine is bitter, what with the *really* not being called?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Do we know she wasn't?

Maybe she was ... maybe she was ...

Or maybe Fred!

Or maybe Fred!

Ugh, no. She's already dangerously close to Mary Sue Burkle as it is.

Would that make her Fred Sue, or Mary Fred?

Well, she's Southern, so she could plausibly be Mary-Fred Sue.
