When I say the misdirection wasn't misdirection, I mean it wasn't clever. It didn't misdirect, it faked. After the revelation of the surprise that follows a well done misdirect, the audience's reaction should be, "Wow. That fooled me. But I can't believe I didn't see the truth all along." This one? It still has people refusing to accept that they were writing Spike to get a soul all along. It's another (maybe the biggest) example of Plei's critique that they told us when they should have showed us.
Not to interrupt -- does anyone have recommendations for where I can find screencaps of The Wish? Google is a little disappointing.

They mention "The Wish" three times on that page. Good luck, Teppy.
Later, gators.
Believe it or not, I found that page, and it doesn't have exactly the one I wanted. I'm fussy.
Cindy, pretty much, speaks for me in all things.
ita, this is of course, very subjective on my part, but in trying to think of a way in which one could resume a romantic relationship with someone who tried to rape/raped, i came up with this scenario:
I think if the rapist was someone that the person was in love with, married to, in a mutually loving relationship, and the rapist fell down a drug well, was under the influence of some mind-altering substance for some time, that sort of thing, and then took the steps needed for change, to get back to the person he once was,
I don't know if this has been mentioned already, or if this is the best place for it, but ASH is going to be in the MI-5 episode airing on Aug. 11. I'll be having to convince my housemate that we have to tape the episode of Queer Eye airing opposite and watch it the next day.
MI-5 will repeat later the same night -- check your listing. . . of course, so will Queer Eye. (Midnight in the Central Time Zone.)
And it's also repeated on the Saturday following it's first airing -- so Tuesday the 12th and Saturday the 16th.
It's a hard question, isn't it, Allyson? And not one that I want to be able to answer with authority.
Which is one good reason I'd have been happy if ME had just never gone there.
Thanks, Sumi. Fortunately they both are aired several times. Yay Cable! But when MI-5 premiered last week it was on at 9 which I thought would make a nice night o' tv, watching that followed by Queer Eye.
