musing. and amused.
I have decided why the "Vaughn-marries-Lauren-Reed-only-TWO-years-later" sitch sounds so familiar. It's exactly what the Buffy fen were saying in S6 when As You Were came around. You know, without the rabid Buffy/Riley shippers. Are there rabid Buffy/Riley shippers?
People said, "Wow, Riley must have gotten over Buffy really fast. He never really loved her." Everyone hated Sam, or just found her annoying. And now, well. We all know about the horrible reception Lauren Reed -- not to mention the actress, Melissa George -- has received. I've seen some pretty vitriolic S/V shippers issuing death threats [well, not really] to JJ for even thinking that Vaughn could get married after being split from his twu wuv.
Just as a caveat, I adore Syd/Vaughn. I have woobie shippy feelings for them. And then there's the adorable factor of Syd/Will, even the neighborly Syd/Weiss. Although the latter is a bit too Buffy/Xander for me. Oh, and I think Syd/Sark MUST happen or I will explode from anticipation. But in any case, I'm not specifically against any ship. I'm just enjoying the ride, which includes Not!Triangles of angst and awkwardness.
All this above musing just adds to my theory that S3 ALIAS is S6 BtVS. You know, without the addiction, severe depression, bad writing or Marti Noxon. I've told many people, I kept expecting Sydney to burst out into, "I think I was in HEEEAAAV-en..." during "The Two". She's kind of bitchy, and reckless, and not always likeable. Everything has changed, and she can't comprehend it all. Musn't forget the Syd/Sark scene in "Succession" which gave me flashbacks of the 147 days scene in "Afterlife".
So the question is: are there any abandoned buildings around?
"Oh, poor little lost girl. She doesn't fit in anywhere. She's got no one to love."
"Me? I'm lost? Look at you, you idiot! Poor Sarky, can't be an agent, can't be a terrorist. Where the hell do you fit in?"
