Oh, look, a cockroach."

Can we do that thing where you give me a subject and I list TOP 5? Please? Because I'm bored, and needs should definitely be met. As long as it doesn't require ointments the next day.

Five favorite one-episode appearance characters on Ats and/or BtVS

What an interesting question.
-Tina, the waitress in "City of" because she was pretty and Angel couldn't save her.
-the Gentleman (creepiest ever)
-the chick from "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been". Loved the actress, love the parallels to Angel, and love that she turned on him.
-actress in "Eternity" --I like how she played off Angel
-the foot tall fear demon, cause gee, that was unexpected

Five top ways to while away a free hour
-read fanfic
-write fanfic
-make lj people entertain me
-pop bubblewrap
-try to figure out what other people do with free hours

Five ways you'd redecorate your living space

Since I'm a slob, these would be like a total renovation:
-do my laundry
-clean it
-vaccum it
-dust it
-spend lots and lots of money on candles

Thank you for participating in this bid to keep tkp entertained. Your life time supply of free monkeys should be arriving shortly.

All those are great answers, but I like 1, 3, and 4 because they're these striking but never-again-mentioned figures in Angel's life, and all women who twisted the expectations of the girl who gets saved by the hero in the end.

Loved the bubble wrap thing (which for some reason I first spelled bbbbuble wrap -- the extra b's make it tastier!).

YAY MONKEYS!!!

I didn't even notice that theme. Except in "City of". You just don't open a series with the hero not saving the damsel, and yet this ep does and it sets the tone for the whole show. AtS isn't about saving people; it's about dealing with all that you can't save.

Always did like my bbbbuble wrap with fondue.

YAY MONKEYS!!!

Yes, but do be careful. Sex with monkeys is overrated.

Yes, yes -- that's what I meant, though perhaps it wasn't clear. None of them were saved by the hero, really -- though of course Angel took the fall (literally) as the outsider for the woman in "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been". I guess one could make the argument that she's saved at the end, by forgiveness.
