Damn. I just accidentally read someone's non-spoilery "Angel sucked so bad last night" post. And then two posts down I read someone else's non-spoilery "Angel was great last night and my brain is melting through my ears" post. Both by people whom I like and respect. Unfortunately, the first one is sticking in my head. And I haven't even seen the damn episode yet. Why does that always happen? The bad impression has more power than the good impression, when setting up your mood/mindset for upcoming episodes. Damn it. And usually I'm so freakin optimistic and easy-to-please that it's ridiculous. Why can't I just think more about the person who adored it? That would be the best for me. But now my expectations are tainted, and I'm going to be automatically deconstructing it, analyzing it so much that I overexaggerate things that otherwise would hardly annoy me at all, and genuinely ruin the whole thing for myself.

No! Do not listen!

Coming from someone who is usually a bitterista when it comes to both shows, I adored it last night. I really think you will too. It was, IMO, the best episode so far this season, so if you've enjoyed the episodes so far, you'll love last night's. Especially if you love Spike.

::deep sigh:: Well, that's good then. Okay, now I'm kinda excited! Thanks.

p.s. I think-- no, I know-- your icon is wearing lipstick.
