Buffistas

It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

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

So, the soul was preventing him from smoking too?

No, the smoking was like the coat, a symbol of days past. In the end he'll need to integrate, but for now, he's on a nice vacation. Also, shorthand for not that nice a guy (cf Angelus smoking that chick in the alley in Innocence)

I think what Buffy asked of him was cruel, since she knows he thought he was getting the soul for her, and that she's asking him to return to a level of viciousness he didn't really now feel comfortable, and that he would do it all, for her.

On the other hand, Spike's back!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Spike's back-- with his better costumes and his accent. I knew that was why everyone thought JM sucked lately!

Also, where WAS the coat. That sort of bothered me. If they knew they were going to get Spike back, they knew that they had to fet the coat from the Summers house to somewhere else. Unless that WAS the summer's house, but I thought it was the school.

Ah, the accent! How could I forget?

I'd kinda wanted a vision quest for the coat, akin to the trials for the soul. It would have been best (slash aside) if he'd gone back to Xander's for it -- showing he was dragging it along with him, but not able to wear it. I *guess* he got it back before the season started and left it behind when he moved in with the Xan man.

Canonically, it is all about the coat.

Oh, I know. I was just being snarky :-).

I understand the symbolism of the coat, but like ita, I think it would have worked better if he had had to earn it. Or if it had been a result of something more... elaborated, not just "now I need to be bad, so I'll go and get the coat... just in time for the Principal to see it and confirm his suspicions (oh wait, I'm not supposed to know that! I'm a fictional character!)"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

For me, the missing part of the emergency box is how it dropped out of the loop. Did the kid just hide it under his bed?

I can see the CoW being outwitted by a 4-year-old.

Ouise, if you're reading this, how's your trip going? Meeting many Buffistas?

I forgot about Angel until just now. Sue, can I borrow your tape if you are indeed taping?

UGH!

Thanks for all the fish.

Rerun, isn't it?

Megan E. - Feb 20, 2003 7:34:41 pm PST #1515 of 6793

Rerun would be good...very, very good.

Thanks for all the fish.

I believe it is rerunning for the next 3 weeks. The massive amount of posting in the Angel thread is due to a, hmm, conflict...
