And I knew that she was a Slayer. Doesn't seem like such a good idea now, does it? I mean, odds are you're not going to get someone as disturbed as her ever, but there are hundreds and thousands of girls running around with super powers and no supervision right now.
See, here's where the comedy lives. I saw the Buffy finale for the first time last friggin' night, and as soon as the big plan was revealed, I said to myself 'Good thing they're ending the series, cause you know there's some serial killer slayers sitting on their hands, just waiting for something to convince them to start collecting body parts and such. Something like suddenly having superpowers.' Two hours later, new Angel, and I'm screaming 'TOLDJA TOLDJA TOLDJA!' at my TV. Two hours.
I twigged to the She's a Slayer thing immediately, but the previous paragraph is likely enough the reason why. I also figured that the torturer wasn't really Spike, but still enjoyed the whys and wherefores.
The hands thing was possibly the best thing I've seen on any Joss show but Firefly ever. Wes's reactions to Andrew entertained. Good show.
How does one get the name Jaunty anyway?
Born wearing a bowtie and pocket square?
Argh! Now I have the Clean Sweep theme in my head!
You guys have this thing with asking questions you already know the answers to, I've noticed.

I enjoyed last night's episode, although it could have done with a bit more Spike-maiming. Now that's entertainment! I didn't fall for the Spike-did-it fakeout becuase he's never had that sort of attention span. Nora pointed out the Dru aspect, too.
I was just happy to have more Andrew (now 82% manlier!)
Plus, the fact that 82% manlier means that his scream is only 76% more womanly than Wes's at his worst. Progress, She Wrote.
As to the maiming, I think that was about enough. I thought JM did a pretty good 'I feel the need to scratch my head, but ...' take. Very understated (for him, especially). Gotta hand it to him.
Missing one dose wouldn't have done it, unless her dose was enough to sedate an elephant. And the other patient wouldn't have seizures from getting it... Not even if it was of elephantine proportions.
I rewatched it with Brian and suddenly realised how nice it was that Spike and Lindsey have so much in common now.
Hell, Spike
hired
a torturer to work Angel over in
In The Dark. He was clearly impatient with the process, and if there's anyone that Spike would want to torture it's Angel.

As the one during watch and post who called "false memories", I wish I had thought of this. I had a lot of the other arguments (not his style, where's Dru, etc.) but this would have clinched if I'd thought of it.
Bloody good show, Elena!
As to the maiming, I think that was about enough.
Yeah, probably. It's just that during the penultimate episode of Buffy I hit my "enough Spike" threshhold for life. It was very nice that they killed him in the next episode -- less so that they brought him back on Angel. So I was definitely cheering for psycho!slayer. As soon as I saw the bloody cleaver I started laughing, saying "what bits did she cut off?" Good clean fun.

Hee. Never enough Spike maimage. The Spike hatas always need some hope for a "head and heart" slip, and the Spike woobie crowd can get some hurt/comfort luvvin.

Not sure where I hit that threshold, somewhere back around "Superstar", I think.
Mecha, we've booked tickets to Ottawa from April 30 to May 6th (with a family wedding on the 1st, and my sister's baby). But if you want to come sleep on the floor - which we probably shall have to do - why don't you start thinking about coming up around the same time?
