Happy Birthday, Megan!
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Not sure what the rest of the day has in storeI do!
Ok, you do now as well. Stupid time passing,
Anyway, Happy Birthday again. Supper was great, and the cake was amazing. I"m going to go to bed very soon.

It was most definitely my pleasure!
It's very quiet here - Nora was unexpectedly called in for a night shift at Mic Mac Mall. She'll be working 6pm to 7am. Glad it's not me. She doesn't seem to mind, though.

Any comments on last night's episode? I thought it was good, but since when is Spike such a schmoop? I kind of wish they had introduced this arc earlier, but then again, they probably only developed it after getting their cancellation notice.
Strangely, I really enjoyed the Crash Bandicoot discussion between Illyria and 1,000 year old dude.
Do you think that Adam Baldwin's character knows about the glamour?

Hmmm. You're going to have to define 'schmoop' for me. The Video game stuff was gold to me, because I took it as one of those things that's really talking about life in general, and therefore it hit me where I live. Hamilton probably suspects something.

I guess what I mean is that he's starting to "care" about saving the world. He used to just do it to have something to do, but now he's getting into it. He's getting soft. I miss old growly "I'm gonna rip your head off" Spike.

The closest thing to 'schmoop' I saw was Spike being first to raise his hand. Which I liked, a lot.
NAFDA summary: mostly positive, but a big discussion of whether (or how much) the black circle was an asspull at this late stage. Much confusion over exactly what the hell Lindsey's motivation was to want to be a tool of the SPs. Also how involved or not the Drogyn was with Angel's plan. Folks are also hoping for some guilt fallout for Angel over the killing (or a reveal that this was part of a plan with the Drogyn).
Angel's speech at the end and the Crash Bandicoot discussion were both considered gold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Spike's already killed himself to save the world. And I think he liked it. Much less schmoop here than last time.

He was schmoopy earlier on too, when the group was talking about Fred.
