Ok, on a whim I've started downloading the new Angel from www.buffyverse.com. I just finished the part where Angel tells Cordy to stay behind.

I loved the look on Fred's face when Angel said "It's too dangerous-- I can't risk it. Fred, get a move on."

It was that expression of "Oh, w-w-wwwait-- if its too dangerous for her, it might be too dangerous for me, who is smaller-boned and not demony."

:sigh: Ah... the benefits of feminism in action; everyone expects you to do the bloody/scary stuff too.

:g: Also, I'm so understanding now why everyone is enamoured with The Luv Of Wesley. Heck, half of the previous episode and half of this one, and a phone-sex call is all I've seen this season, and I'm already in love with him. He's not Spike... but he's not Spike either. I feel I can still be madly in love with Spike and nurture this sudden infatuation for Wesley at the same time without stretching my fangirlish proclivities.

Did anyone else think the Wesley/Lilah break-up was lifted rihgt out of As You Were? Lilah was practically paraphrasing Spike. Except, Wesley seems to have had more respect for Lilah than Buffy did for Spike, but less affection. Which isn't saying a lot, as Buffy didn't have much herself.

ETA:

"What's a zombie?"
"It's an undead thing."
"Like you?"
"No!--- Zombies are slow-movies, dimwitted things that crave human flesh."
"Like you?"

::snigger:: That's too good. Hm... This ep is kinda scary... creepier than anything we've seen on Buffy for a while. That's what Buffy needs-- more outright creepy elements and less goofy elements (for example, I didn't find Gnarl the skin-eater to be the least bit creepy, whereas the girls running and getting knifed in the first two eps of season 7 were scary, w/ the chasing and the knifing and such.)

You know, it's weird that I haven't seen any new mary-sue fics post-Showtime.

I would think that the SITs would be the perfect plot device by which to do a mary-sue or self-insertion fic.

HUh. I guess no one's thoguht of it yet, is all. God help us when they do.

So I just watched that old XF episode "D.P.O." on the SciFi channel.

They had this one shot... err... I tried to find a page wiht screencaps from season 3, but couldn't. Anyway, its near the end of the ep and Mulder is runnign wiht the blond teacher-lady away form the crazy lightning kid, and they hide in some bushes, and there's this one shot of his face, and his lips are completely fuckable. Wonderfully mouth for kissing, captured perfectly on screen, all pouty and round...

Anyway, I'm babbling. Feelin' the Mulder-luv again via reruns... :sigh:

Does anyone know of a site that has screencaps from that show Millenium? I remembered this actor who I wanted to see a picture of again, only I don't know his name, just the episode he was in: "Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions" or something, from then first season. I have this memory of thinking he was v. v. pretty, and was curious to see a screencap of him again a few years later and see if I still thought so.

Confession time

Well, time to face the music.

I've found a high-school-set AU Buffy fic that I like. One that I get that small thrill of fanfic excitement when I see an update on Crumbling Walls.

It's called "A Touch of Jealousy", and is by Echidna, and found at: http://www.angelfire.com/80s/echidna/index.htm

Echidna was already the author of fic that I enjoyed reading, including Twining Vines (WIP) and Grey Lines (completed). I was fairly skeptical when she started a H.S.-centric fantasy fic, but I started reading it, and I *liked* it. Really liked it. The plot is one I've seen to be typical in romantic comedy films, but I love how its being carried out, and I actually like the way Spike is being written. And I already know that Echidna does pretty good NC-17 fic, so that part (which it's slowly building to) should be good as well.

Anyway, I can't believe it, but I am here to rec a fantasy Spuffy fic. WIP. Most likely the only one I'll ever recommend with a wholely positive perspective. Eat it up, folks.

All in all, I'm no displeased with these results. He was a cool guy. And cute, under all that armor.


So which LOTR Man are you? Hmm??

Fic

Holly's magnificently angsty and heart-wrenching Sang et Ivoire (Blood & Ivory) just updated to Chapter 37! YAY! Sugoi! I've been following this since close to the beginning, and it's been an emotional trip the whole way. One of my favorite post- season 6 fics. And this last chapter-- Wow. Porphyria is... Evil. She killed [[kenny]]! I wanna cry now! And I can't explain those statements without spoiling MAJOR stuff in the fic for you, but... DAMN!

Any Spike/Buffy fan who hasn't started reading this needs to get up off their lazy asses and get to it already. And since it's about 190,000 words already, if you start now it'll likely be finished by the time you catch up.
