It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

To every idea a shelf...

Random thought: You know what never fails to piss me off? Xander's reaction to Willow's Eskimo costume in Inca Mummy Girl. I want to smack him so hard every time.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Hmm...don't really remember that...but it makes his annoyance around Oz in "Surprise" seem that much more galling, given that Oz actually noticed Willow in the Eskimo suit (or as political correctness in Canada now dictates we say, "indigenous Inuit person suit").

Another Season Two question I've had for a while; I've read that Oz was originally meant to die in "Passion." Does anyone know if there's any truth to this? What was the plan?

What is even happening?

I thought it would be First Nation suit.

The evil is this way?

I saw a bumber sticker this morning which said: "I am a Canadian." Like I needed to know. The guy was a polite and careful driver. I already knew he wasn't from around here.

Up with the sun

I've read that Oz was originally meant to die in "Passion." Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?

I know that the plan for Willow to go eveil after her partner died was pretty long-standing -- Oz was spared only because Seth Green left the show before they could kill him, and Tara was doomed from day one, and actually lasted a season longer then planned. I'd never heard this particular variation, but it wouldn't surprise me if that had been an idea. (Though perhaps not, because Willow going evil after Passion would have been hard to integrate into the Angelus arc. But maybe they didn't plan to send her evil at that time.)

People like that can really screw up traffic.

I'm still wanting more details on the "Maybe we'll turn Xander gay" alternate storyline.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think they took a look at Angel and realized having that much male-centered gayness on both shows would be redundant.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

To me Xander would have seemed out of nowhere. Mostly because his reaction to girls he finds attractive has been pretty sudden. Willow's attraction to boys seemed to be about more than surface stuff.

I'm explaining myself wrong. Xander's set of people he is attracted to seems to have been good looking women, while Willow's seems to have been people who I have a connection with.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The guy was a polite and careful driver. I already knew he wasn't from around here.

Heh. Sounds like he was lying about the Canadian part, too...

(Although it's possible that drivers from Eastern Canada are polite and careful, I would never in a zillion years apply that term to BC or Alberta drivers. Especially ones related to me.)
