Yes. Yes it does.

[Reply #763 on:]

You say "bad person" like it's a bad thing.

[Reply #764 on:]

Two Spikes in one shot. It was like a dream come true. Sure one was evil, but hey i can learn to overlook that. Can we say "Eye Candy"?

[Reply #765 on:]

no one answered my firefly jab

you say "bad thing" like it's not good

[Reply #766 on:]

you say "it's not good" like it isn't not bad (!)

Watching Angel - Rain of Fire.

What to say... Cordy and Angel "breaking up" in a way, despite they were never together, yet still in love. Then Gunn and Fred doing the same sortof over the professor killing. Wes being sneaky - I just wanna work him out already! OOo and the big bad coming up where Connor was born. Oh I loved the slow-motion Wesley shooting at the big bad. Then slow-mo with the rifle shooting.  Ohhhhh THEN the very end where

Show spoiler

Connor bangs Cordelia!

So wrong! On so many levels!

[Reply #769 on:]

I watched Angel too. I have to say I'm surprised that so many people can't stomach that ending. Some people have threatened to stop watching the show if this continues. I'm not talking about here obviously, but other message boards. I think Joss did this intentionally to make us think, not to turn us off the show.

My English professor says that the best books shock you and challenge your viewpoints. Well, Joss has certainly managed to accomplish that and that's so rare on TV. Most are just mindless zombies doing what's socially acceptable. Nobody dies in those kinds of shows and problems are over within an hour. Angel and also Buffy are unique, because their problems don't just go away. They DEAL with them.

Sure, that ending may have been morally and socially wrong, but they have to deal with consequences. They have to get over it and move on. I, for one, can't wait to see how they handle this. This isn't easy to walk away from and I'll relish the torment, because it makes victory all the sweeter.

"In the face of death, everything is right. In morning's light, you realize your plight" Don't know if that made much sense, I just felt like saying it. That should be part of a poem 

So people, give it a chance. The season's young yet and full of surprises

P.S. In case you didn't hear before, I'm not saying the ending was right, just that it's something they'll have to face when they don't die.

Wow Allen that's way too serious viewing for my liking! 

I just watched Buffy - Sleeper.

I was actually curious if the big bad that has just arisen in LA (in Angel) is infact going to be the same big bad in Buffy which has just started to make itself known to Sunnydale. Wouldn't that be cool if it's a crossover again?

No Warren and the gang this week, aw. I wanted to know if Andrew (i think it was) was really dead!
Spike being all weird and two minded.
Just a wrap up of last weeks ep basically with Dawn and Willow. No new info.
Anya snooping on Spike getting caught then saying she came "for.. SEX!" heheh
Poor Xander getting punched out, but he does it so well Poor guy

everybody knows that special guest star rupert 10 episodes spin-off series giles will never die ever ever

[Reply #773 on:]

Oh my lord that axe was pretty darn close

[Reply #774 on:]

I know, and it seemed like he continued talking after the swipe of the axe. Of course, it has been documented that heads continue to function for a while after beheading, so maybe that's it...

[Reply #775 on:]

he could dodge that easily

[Reply #776 on:]

It hardly looks like it's going hit in that pic. Maybe the "slash" noise was it going into the badguy's leg.

[Reply #777 on:]

I was right. It's the First Evil.

Any comments on last night's episode?

[Reply #778 on:]

I really wish someone would kill Spike.

[Reply #779 on:]

Nah, then they'd just have a cheesy "Spike comes alive again" episode.

Bring on the lesbian orgy episode

[Reply #780 on:]

Kryten: Yep. I have this vague memory of early-Buffy when they spoke about this. I was trying to remember what it was exactly, but then I saw the big fugly thing at the end and I figured it was the first ever vampire? Or something? Maybe I'm wrong.
Feel free to correct me.


It all sort of correlated for a while with the big bad that was coming up in Angel. I thought maybe they'd have a cross-over again with both shows having the same baddie.
I guess not. The big Angel baddie seems pretty invincable.
Still... what will happen in both shows? They're both reaching areas where a "big bad" is rising and taking over the world with it's wrath.... and so forth...
I wonder.

I'm finding myself a lot more interested in Buffy this year than in Angel. Buffy's up against an evil force older than existance. Angel's up against Tim Curry from Legend, except not as cool.

BTW, if Nosferatu at the end looked familiar, it's because he's played by the same actor as Gnarl from "Same Time, Same Place" and one of the Gentlemen from "Hush".

[Reply #782 on:]

That's a nifty piece of trivia!

I agree... Angel has been getting increasingly silly and the whole Cordy thing reminds me of Days of our Lives. I felt the same way about last season, too - what was with that talking plastic burger??? sheesh. Whereas the Spike storyline has me completely enthralled at the moment.

[Reply #784 on:]

Do not anger the burger!!

[Reply #785 on:]

was a bit too cartoonish, but still funny.
but you can't deny that angel last season was much better than buffy last season.

I deny! I deny everything!
Buffy series 5 pretty much sucked (mystical sister-key my arse!) but I thought series 6 was great. The nerdy trio arguing about spray painting the death star ("those are flawed plans!" ) onto the side of their van... classic. Something for the geek inside us all. Angel, I'm afraid, seems to have gone so far off it's original rails that I'm not sure it'll ever get back on track again... I still watch it tho. It passes the time.

[Reply #787 on:]

i'd rather watch mystical sister-key and crazy people than really really annoying klepto non-mystical sister-non-key and doublemeat palace any day.

[Reply #788 on:]

Dawn is annoying in every series.
And double meat palace... well, that was funny on the first episode it was on. They've had to drop it now, anyway, because the sponsors weren't happy at the idea of Buffy working in a fast-food place.

[Reply #789 on:]

also, spike was annoying, buffy was annoying, xander was annoying, willow was annoying, and dark willow was really annoying.

but clem was funny. more clem, more singing, and less spike were needed. 

[Reply #790 on:]

I completely disagree with every single part of all of those sentences. Amazing!

[Reply #791 on:]

You... don't like Clem? But everyone likes Clam!

glenn quinn, aka doyle from the first nine episodes of angel, died on december 3rd. 

[Reply #794 on:]

Poor guy.

For those of you who don't watch Buffy, he was also Becky's boyfriend on "Roseanne".

[Reply #795 on:]

Aww no!

That sucks, he was the best Irish guy (acting or really Irish) I've seen in a US show.
Brilliant character too, he will live on in reruns.

[Reply #796 on:]

Well, my research (being 2 minutes of googling) shows to me that Angel and Buffy aren't on again until January again?
What's up with that? Some Christmas off-peak period time thingy?? No fair, I was just getting into it...

Gives me time to clear out my HD I guess... make some CDs should I get the burner I want from Santa.  Anyway...
As I implied, not happy about the non-Angel-non-Buffy period   

[Reply #797 on:]

there is a new buffy episode on december 17th

..but then nothing until january

[Reply #798 on:]

Welcome to rerun hell. 

[Reply #799 on:]

Just saw the newest ep.! Very Cool! Man I wish it was on next week, but oh well. The season is starting to kick into gear. All I can say is: About time!
