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.

But just one where they win and they feel happily victorious.

Right? It hit me later that they never got back any of the missing people. They stopped any more first-borns from being taken, but they didn't get to save/rescue those that had already been.

Because books.

The Doctor Dances?

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

It's a really good Eccleston-era Doctor Who episode/pair (the first one is The Empty Child). The pair introduces Captain Jack Harkness, which is as much win as the world needs all at once anyway, but it also ushers in "Are you my mummy?" as ultra creepy for Who fans.

BUT that's not why I cite it. I cite it because of the line "Just this once, everybody lives!" And then they all dance because they're happy.

What? It could happen to our boys!

Oh! I like Captain Jack (I've seen clips of Torchwood) and I know I've heard the "Just this one, everybody lives!" line.

Yeah, that would be nice.

which only means that the next episode will be full of torture and betrayal and pain and gone to hell in a handbasket. IJS.

It doesn't get as far as the dancing, but lots of jubilant Doctor. It's quite beautiful.

Our boys have been victorious, but not often enough triumphant.

But that was gonna happen anyway.

Great EP. Umm a minor emergency came up, so I saw most of the post trauma conversation,but missed how Dean got released from jail.

That is how he beat the redcap. He was still in jail. I got an impression from the conversation that the DA let him go but did not catch why.
