romantic idiot

I'm sure I'll have lots of thoughts on this later, but for now, having watched the episode again, I gotta say - The Body did it better.

I need a re-watch I think. I'm not entirely convinced that waiting a week for this episode was the best tactical move. They needed to have this the next day or something. I've already processed a lot of my grief, so I felt a little detached watching the episode this time. Or maybe I'm just disinvested in general given Will's death. There were good moments - Cary, Eli, Kalinda, Diane and David Lee's grief moved me, even made me tear up a little, and the situation with the intern made me smile, but overall I appreciated the art of this episode more than being a part of it, if that makes sense.

A miracle saved Angel's life. What's not to like?

Ah, Barphe, nicely put. My 'ship is Buffy and Angel - that's even what's behind my moniker - you Spuffy fans always make me feel idiotic for liking the epic, doomed romance - but I liked Riley too, and remember being excited with Buffy and Riley finally kissed in Hush. Spuffy on the other hand…parts of Season 7 were okay, but it ended with Spike saving the universe and just NO to that on Buffy's show. I am so glad to know of this. Really really, since I was one of the naysayers. This itself is cheering up news.

I watched it till Tony died. But since my main interest was to see the books picturised. They've strayed from the books (without improving the storylines any, I should say), so I'm just not interested. I am still morbidly fascinated enough to check the discussions out though.

I desperately want this show to improve - I don't want a Whedon show to be bad. But, if they continue to focus on Skye…I was so badly burnt by Smallville (don't judge me, I blame Omar G's recaps) that I'm not sure I can live through another Lana Lang.

I think the powers that be don't seem to realize that Will is only interesting when accompanied by Brent. Or when Gunnar's reading him the riot act. Otherwise it's a drag. And while not a fan of Luke yet, I'm fan enough of Will Chase to see where this is going. I liked him getting a little annoyed this episode. made him feel more real than the super supportive boyfriend he's been so far. What I really like is his strength - he doesn't throw his weight around like Juliette does, but there's no way he's going to be pushed around and you know it.

I am not as original as all of you but made it too!! Thanks be for this place. I feel like I have been crying this entire week.
