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

OMFG. The final battle in Angel was not a fatal one! None of them died onscreen! Even if you want to ignore the comics as being canon, THEY DIDN'T DIE IN THE SHOW (Wes having died earlier, Fred moreso).

It can't be the whole point of the show that they die if Joss says they didn't, can it? Or, I mean, if it is the whole point, you accept that it's your whole point, and everyone else is as welcome to their own points as you are.

Wrong thread!

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

though her shock at diluted bleach baths is a bit weird. I mean, diluted, not straight-up, it's been recommended lately by mainstream doctors to treat eczema. But thats external, not internal!!

If the treatment they're talking about is MMS, it's not diluted nearly enough to be safe. People who work with it in industrial settings wear protective gloves and gas masks. (I suppose you could dilute it enough to make a relatively safe bath, but the treatments being advocated at the Autism One conference are not that.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good lawd, I thought I'd heard all the cool names in this year's baseball draft (Styker Trahan, Skye Bolt, Damien Magnifico) but now that we're getting into the lower rounds I'm discovering names like Goose Kallunki, Brock Dykxhoorn (which somebody noted sounds like a Dutch porn star), and Zebulon Sneed.

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

Zebulon Sneed

Sounds like a Roald Dahl villain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Zebulon Sneed

Sounds like a nickname. Like if your company had two Joe Sneeds, one from Cincinnati and one from planet Zebulon....

Whereas, Goose Kallunki was obviously cut from the original manuscript of Catch-22.

I love baseball names. Nutty is a connoisseur of them.

My successful Google search was 'three deaths quote'. I have a lot of professional experience with searching, but even so, I feel like that was pretty good.

Quote! I bet that was the magic component. I probably had more words from the quote not actually wrong, but I didn't place it in the context of a quotation that way.

I am shamed, and I hope to learn from you.
