I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

Missing in action since 2002...

I'm using "Wheelchair fight?" in everyday conversation from now on.

Loved the axe fighting, but that axe was not an ancient, pre-Christian relic. It was made by John Deere. I suspect it may be part of a tractor.

Nothing runs through vamps like a Deere.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The scythe/axe thing was bugging me, too. Do they call it a scythe in Fray?

Actually, the music when Buffy found the axe was also really silly. The music for the past two episodes sound like Andrew has been chosing.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

A scythe. Not the same thing at all.

Our wings are not tired.

Just watched, all head spinny here. The Angel scene was way off. Major FE influence in the air. I'm thinking it had to do with Caleb getting cut. Gee, do you think it is time for Spike now?

Sorry to not have any SiT corpses. Delighted to be unspoiled. Despondent that I only have one more new episode of Buffy in my future.

Glad that Xander is headed back to town, but Dawn needs to be hurt.

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

Also, how did Buffy find Faith and the potentials? The navigation of the past few eps has confused me utterly.

Scythes, as I understand them, have the sharp edge of the blade facing down (perpendicular to the shaft), and axes have their sharp edge pretty parallel to the shaft. Now, it looks like the axe is sharpened in both places, but the shape of the blade makes scythe action unreasonable.

I hope Angel never ends, because the folks at M.E. have no frickin' clue how to wrap up a series. IJS.

"Angel and Spike, The Starsky and Hutch of the Netherworld" - Albert Einstein in his speech to the U.N. Security Council, Sept., 1955.

Sophia, I'm with you. Angel's entrance, the big hero music and glamour shot pose, his whole manner. I think that while Caleb got stronger from joining with the FE, the FE (probably briefly) got the ability to become corporeal, as it was whining about last week. It's totally a set-up to fuck with Spike.

Angel--Not Angel. Giles--Not Giles. Baby Willow. Dawn the Learned One.

I don't know whether to lump Angel into the FE camp or the Bad Writing camp. And it's driving me absolutely batty that there even is a bad writing camp.

I half expected Angel to say, "Cordy's in a coma, I just lost my son, now come here and give papa some sugar."

It was that off putting how that scene went.

Nameless/faceless SiTs bite the dust only? Is it official? Has Buffy become Charlie's Angels?

A lot of odd stuff to have to figure out and correct in an hour. And did anyone else think/hope that Angel walks through the door right in the middle of the sweet Spuffy scene?

Finally, at least I got to laugh. Wheelchair fight. BWAH.

Jeez, I almost forgot, the old bitty in the pyramid made me laugh, too. I'm supposed to buy all that? I hope it's on sale.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Nameless/faceless SiTs bite the dust only?

Not even the nameless ones!

I opened my mailbox last night to find a fic I hadn't seen before. Opened the message, saw "Methos holding his beloved Dru" and "the thirty-four (ThirtyFour! Ack) potentials," and ran screaming from the room.

I'm thinking it had to do with Caleb getting cut

I was trying to see if there might have been some sort of reverse Jasmine thingy going on, with the blood, but I didn't see anything.
