Angel/Darla maps surprisingly well to Profit/Bobbie, doesn't it?
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, if you can't think depraved is excellent, it's definitely not the series for you. But I liked it when Angel locked the lawyers in the wine cellar.
Obviously I need to see this. Because Angel locking the lawyers in the wine cellar is one of my favorite scenes in the series.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

After I screamed "no, he didn't!" I sure was appreciative.

I have a different expectation for depravity levels in shows with vampires in them than I do for shows that don't have vampires. I see all the merely human depravity I need to in real life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I see all the merely human depravity I need to in real life.
Don't you watch House? That crosses the real people==asshole line for me in a way Profit never did. Profit is high theatre for me. Melodrama. I could suddenly tell what Greenwalt smelt like, and why he worked with Angel.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The best scenes list is very fun.
Their best movie list is well considered though they love Morvern Caller and The Man Who Wasn't There way more than I do, and I prefer Fellowship of the LoTR movies.
