As for ME blaming Angel, Jenny's death was not his fault,
I just wanted to say that I hope you didn't think my "BUT IT WASN'T ANGEL'S _FAAAAULT_!" rant was directed at anyone but the show's characters themselves -- that is to say, I hope you don't feel like I was giving you a hard time for "blaming" Angel. That footnoted rant of mine was one of those, "this isn't actually directed at YOU but I have a tangentially-related excuse to rant about a topic of interest to me and so I'm gonna do it, even though the rant isn't actually directed at YOU," sort of things. (There's a good chance you realize this already, but I reread my rant and it sounded so, well, ranty that I wanted to make sure you realized it was one of my many, many rants that I rant TO you about but do not actually mean to direct AT you. And, like I said, you may very well already realize that -- but I just didn't see how it could hurt to make sure you DO in fact know that said rant was not directed AT you. Much like my "Of COURSE many people want Angel and Buffy together!" rant* -- just in case I've been sounding cranky and irritable in any of these replies. Because I've been FEELING so cranky and irritable lately that I'm starting to reach the point wherein I can't tell if I'm SOUNDING cranky and irritable when I reply to stuff, or not.
I need a vacation. And a new job. And more time to write. AND THE ABILITY TO WRITE SOMETHING WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I'M WADING THROUGH CRAP. :(
* I don't want Buffy and Angel to wind up together, but I am well aware that much of the world disagrees with me, so my slightly bitter reply to your other posting just sort of fell out of me. And, y'know, I find myself thinking that, until I get myself out of this vaguely depressed funk I'm in at the moment, I probably need to just shut up about anything even vaguely related to Joss Whedon, and also about Doctor Who. Because I'm depressed and cranky and so ranting nonsensically at people minding their own fandom business is not going to help anyone, least of all me. ;-D
