So does the fact there's been no discussion of this week's Angel in here mean that everyone was as underwhelmed as I was by it?
Opinions in the Angel thread were all over the map. Some were incensed that there was a throwaway this close to the end, some were meh, for much the same reason, and some thought it the funniest thing since Smile Time. I don't think anyone thought it was good that the ep came at this point in the season, but I may be mis-remembering.
Pretty much universal acclaim for the Wes/Illyria/Burkles bits, and for the brief flashback to Spike and Dru in the 50's.
Dani, I got a long distance phone call about 20 minutes in, and so I taped it on the second airing. (I was watching the second airing from the hall...in that I was on my computer and looking down my hall to the TV, but not really paying attention.) I think it's telling that I haven't bothered to watch it yet.
Thanks for the Buffista Coles Notes, Frankenbuddha!

t boggle
Smile Time was HI-larious. Last night was just eh.
I don't even go into the Angel thread anymore; catching up on a week of posts is too hard, and by the time I get to the end everything I want to say has been said (better) already. I suppose I'll threadsuck & save it to read after the finale.
ETA: Dan was out on Monday night, Sue & so I taped it to watch with him on Tuesday night. [I never did get my toaster for converting him, a Buffy-hater, to Angel.] We watched it right away (even before the illicit
Sopranos
tape we got from friends) but I certainly didn't feel inspired to post about it.
Dani, I thought it was pretty piss poor for the third last episode of the series. I could see that they were trying to be funny, but it just didn't quite make it there for me.
Have you got the WF tape yet? It should be there tomorrow *fingers crossed*
SUe, how are you feeling?
T. and I just went to the gym (me for the first time since October) to get in shape for the dragon boat race. I think I'm gonna die.
You'll be fine.
I'm okay. I woke up with a headache and feeling cranky so I opted out of work. I took my last Tylenol this morning, so I have to make myself go to the drugstore soemtime soon.
it's a nice day to opt out!
Bah, Sun! (I can' t go out in the sun with a headache.)

My thoughts exactly - I wouldn't have minded it earlier in the season, but not as the antepenultimate (one of my favourite five-cent words!) episode.
Have you got the WF tape yet?
Not yet, but today's mail hasn't arrived... I'll keep my fingers crossed too.
Hope you feel better soon, Sue.
I'm dying to get out of the house today but the snow hasn't melted yet. Blargh.
