To me, Alisson Hannigan 9/10 times looks better in random photos and mag covers than she does on BTVS. Even in that behind-the-scenes pic of her and AD in the Angel crossover, with them standing and smiling/laughing-- she even looked prettier there. I don't think the longer hair is at all as attractive as the chin-length hair of seasons 4 and 5 of BTVS.

But from what I read, not that many people think so.


On a different note, quiz:


You are Dirty Girls! Even though you horrified the
fandom, you gave us Faith fighting a Vulcan,
hot Spaith action and Father Tightpants.

Heh. Vulcan-slaying. A sacred calling. The most important job in the verse. I am... Shaka the Vulcan Slayer. Also known as StVS.

Really, I thought my fandom was above this sort of thing.

Oh well. At least it's tasteful enough and has recognizable punctuation.

And I will rewrite this same story. Many times. Until it becomes canon in my head. And then no one will want to talk to me, because I'll be that kook around the corner, who everyone smiles depreciating smiles at and then ignores, lost in her own Byronic alterverse of fandom.

So long as you share these stories with me, I think it's a perfectly wonderful place to be.

I'd agree that I'd have a hard time buying love from anyone else. I won't say never, because I think given enough time, I could, but I wouldn't buy it right away. Just as I couldn't really buy Riley fourth season or any 'potential' love interest on Angel first season. But three years down the road I can totally buy Angel's love for Cordelia's and Buffy's for Spike. It's all a matter of timing.

Precisely. And the problem is even further compounded by the fact that what time takes a normal person (or demon) to get over a love has to be more than doubled or tripled for Spike. Because his entire character is designed as someone for whom forever is not only literal (vampire), but also the true depth of his potential feelings.

It's all a matter of timing.

That's so true. Once I'd been watching the show for a while in season 6, and it was truly clear that season 6 would have a Spike/Buffy arc of some kind, I began to think about the timing of that in comparison to the reruns I was seeing of earlier seasons, and I figured that if the show did end after season 7, then they'd have to end it with Buffy/Spike or Buffy alone. Because this show takes excruciating time in building relationships (except Kennedy. Eww.), where either the build-up or the relationship itself stretches over several seasons.

They simply wouldn't have time to give Buffy a new love, and have it be serious, before the end. Especially not when they had a ready-made partner right there, with lots of build up already in place. It was Spike or nothing.

And they chose Spike, so far.
