timepiececlockOk, I haven't visited the B/A Babble Board in a while, but I snuck in after watching the new episode of Angel.
I was reading their thread of the episode, and it is so funny. I'd be laughing out loud if I wasn't sick; as it is I have to just grin...
Their reaction to Angel muttering Buffy's name when he realizes he's started to lose his soul... it's great. I mean, are these people watching the same show that I am? It's hard to tell. They talk about EvilCordy like she's the First or something, and say that Angel screamed Buffy's name as he came... it's delusion central. I had to watch the scene at least three times (with the volume up) to catch when Angel said "Buffy," and even then it was after the ...big moment.
I thoguth this was a funny comment:
-------------
I think this is a good thing. It sounds somehow like someone has been suppressing Angel's memories of Buffy.
Plus, to the viewing audience...it's going to look like he was thinking about her the entire time. Hee.
-------------
Uh, hello? I was a member of the viewing audience-- unspoiled, and still new to the series, and I watched and it was quite clear to me he was happy having sex with Cordelia. I didn't even know about the "Buffy" thing until I read it later, and then went back to look for it in the clip. So clear? Uh-uh.
-------------
Also not only are many A/C shippers pissed about the Buffy shoutout but so are many of the spuffys and yes they are grasping desperately onto Stiney's comment.
-------------
::snigger:: Well, here's one Spuffer who isn't bothered by it at all. :g: Means nothing to me, nothing to B/S, and I don't think it meant anything to C/A either. The very fact that I didn't even hear it when I first watched it makes me think its of even less significance, if possible. They're all "Oh, the B/Sers and C/Aers are gonna panic"-- and here I am, hard core B/Ser and new C/Aer...I didn't even notice. Wasn't a blip on my radar, and when I finally did, I feel like going "Eh? What's the big deal here?"
-------------
I really think the FE & EvilCor! have been systematically surpressing the memory of Buffy in Angel's mind for awhile now...
I think Angel's memory comes bursting through at that moment causing him to shout out her name. I think when he get's his soul back we'll be seeing a much changed Angel, one who remembers Buffy and what she means to him.
Cordy tried and failed to get Angel to forget...that's my take.
-------------
Ok, now I just have to read that again have a good giggle.

kita0610, why can't all B/A fans be like you? All smart and rational and coherent-like.
Cause all the stuff I just read?
::shakes head:: That's fucking funny.

Thanks...

Re: Thanks...
Date: 2003-01-29 08:42 am (UTC)As I interpreted it, he says it when he realizes his soul is leaving, like he's remembering everything that happened with Buffy. It wouldn't have made sense to say "Darla" or "Wesley", because they ahd nothing to do wiht season 2 of BtVS. If not "Buffy", then I think he would have said something like "gyspies", "curse" or "sunnydale", or whatever he closely associated with his memory the last time he lost his soul.
