The Bungalow

So, um, I'm not gonna finish Buffy/Angel. I have two more discs left in the current seasons I'm on. I'll watch those and then, that's it. It's just not interesting to me. Hot and lovely as James is, I can't sit through all the crap and wait for him to show up any more. :-( So, oh well. I gave it a shot. Did the best I could. But it's just not working for me.

On the plus side, this will then free up my time for Supernatural once all the torrents finish. :-)

I'm about half way through both, so I thought I'd do my usual posting about it...

Buffy seems to be getting slightly better. Of course, that could just be my reaction to Spike now being a main character. LOL But that whole Buffy/Parker thing dragged on for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Dear God! Yes, he slept with you and then never wants to talk to you again. Get over it. It happens. You're in COLLEGE. Please act like it. Ugh. Still not sure how I feel about Riley. He's interesting. The whole Initiative thing is kind of weird. Spike's chip thing is certainly an interesting development.

Xander's fight with Harmony was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. HYSTERICAL. So was the Buffy/Spike marriage thing. Heh.

Hush was an interesting episode. Though I'm not sure I completely buy THE ENTIRE TOWN shutting down cos no one can talk. Not being able to talk really isn't that big of a deal. There are plenty of businesses that could certainly remain open. And how does not being able to talk lead to one crashing their car into a fire hydrant. And why would everyone just be wandering aimlessly around the town? It's like they wanted to make it like some sort of apocalyptic event and, um, yeah. It's not. It's a slight inconvenience, sure. But definitely not a world ending event.

Angel. I do like it more than Buffy, but still not yet in OMG!AWESOME way.

They did not just fucking kill Doyle. OMG. Sorry, watching as I type. Doyle was awesome! BRING HIM BACK!! OK, he's still in the credits for the next episode, so I'm taking that as a good sign. Dude! Wesley!!! Awesome.... He's trying so hard and failing so miserably. It's awesome.

OK, so. First thing about Angel, is that OMG, the ADA from Law & Order is in it! Hehe. I must admit, though, the single frame flashy cut things are getting kind of annoying. I get the purpose, but it just makes my eyes jump.

Dammit. Doyle is dead. That's sucky. But I suppose Wesley helps make up for that. Anyone know why Doyle left/was written off? Just story lines?

Anywho, yeah. Liking Angel more. Hope it stays that way.

What exactly is the mythos surrounding the vampires in the Buffy universe? From what I've seen so far of the series, there seems to be mention that there's actually a demon that possesses a person when they get turned? Is that right? If so, do we learn more about how that "works"? Like, is it a Goa'uld type thing where they become trapped in their own body? Or do they die and then the demon inhabits the corpse? I'm just a little confused as to how it all works...

( There's proof! )

So, yeah, season 4 started. So far, OK. I swear Willow gets prettier every season, though. I'm diggin' the new hair. And James Marsters is still the sexiest thing alive. There will be some new icons forthcoming. One word - shirtless. :-D

"Occasionally I'm callous and strange."

Hehe. Thanks, Willow. So am I. :-)

ETA: And we have Wesley! He's basically a mini-Giles, isn't he? LOL

I finished Buffy season two the other day. I’ve been holding off on writing anything though because I was trying to figure out what it is that’s sort of bugging me about the show. And not in a bad way. More just because I totally expected by this point to be totally sucked in to the show and OMG-obesessed with everything. And I’m not. I’m still kind of meh about everything. I have come to two possible conclusions – 1) Since I know most general things that have happened in the show, I’m not worried about anything. Like, Angel just got sucked into a vortex to hell. But I don’t really care cos I know he’ll be back. Hell, he gets his own show in a couple seasons. And 2) I don’t care about Buffy. I’m not 100% sure why yet, but I don’t care about her. I’m more interested in everyone else on the show. Giles and Jenny. Xander and Cordelia. Willow and Oz. Spike and Drusilla. Even just Angel by himself. Buffy just doesn’t interest me. Maybe it’s because I’m so far removed from high school and she still seems very immature in some ways. Which, she’s 17 you can’t expect her to act like she’s 30. But there’s still something there that bugs me. Maybe it’s because I’ve never been a big fan of Sarah’s. She’s just never grabbed my attention as an actress. I don’t know. But it’s weird. I think that if I were watching as/when the show was originally airing, I probably would have stopped by now. But y’all say season 3 is awesome, so I’m still holding out hope.

Ok, so, now specifically Becoming. It was interesting enough. I was slightly disappointed that we didn’t get to see Spike’s origin story. Though, I suppose that’s because Angel wasn’t directly involved. Do we ever learn more about that? Since we know how Angel and Dru got to be vamps. Seems only fair we learn more about Spike. When that demon guy introduced himself as Whistler, I immediately thought of Blade. Any correlation? Or just coincidence? And, like I alluded to above, I was more worried about Willow in this episode than Buffy. Though, I am slightly ticked off at her mom. I mean, hello. You saw a vampire get disintegrated right in front of you, you have another one sitting in your living room (and that scene with Spike and Joyce was completely made of win) and you still don’t believe your daughter. Instead, you kick her out of the house. Good job, mom.

So, season 3 should be coming tomorrow. We’ll see what happens with that…

Look!! I has a Buffy icon now! :-)

Just finished disc 2 of season 2. I think Halloween might be my favorite ep, so far. And I liked Lie to Me, too. But that might just be cos I have a soft spot for Jason Behr (Roswell, anyone?). But why did he have to be the bad guy? Dammit. And, go Giles! He's a bit of a bad-ass. And we had more Spike! He's always delicious. :-D I can see the show is starting to hit its stride.
