Back when the episode first aired, I said you had to love a bad guy who used the word "decimate" correctly AND had his own evil theme song.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On its own, it's an annoying little dance song
It's not annoying! It's fun! They took the "Pump It Up" riff and made it even more fun.
My favourite bit in that scene is probably the shots of Lucy Saxon dancing (badly) to the song in some kind of sexual thrall, which was so perversely right, and reminded me strongly of Drusilla.
Totally agree!

Barrowman's "American" accent still sounds fake to me and that bugs.
he does tend overenunciate, doesn't he? i suppose since he's surrounded by all Brits he finds it hard not to automatically slip into his Scottish accent and is trying to make sure he doesn't.

Thrive to spite them
Someone, I think a Buffista, said his over enuciation might be due to all the theater work he's done.
I don't mind his accent since he's not supposed to be contemporary American.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Maybe that's what Americans sound like, whenever it is he's actually supposed to be from?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

This makes a lot of sense to me, as it's (by-proxy) what gave me my "accent" growing up (I lived within 20 minutes of where I was born up until I went to college)

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Snerk!

I remember thinking the same thing about Hugh Jackman, that he seemed to have a habit of "stage-acting" in some of his earlier (American) movies: larger gestures, clear enunciation and projection so as to be read on stage, and which worked for Wolverine, but came off as odd in his non-comicbook roles.
Not that any of that stops/stopped either men from being hot.

So, Journeyman. I find I just don't care.
