Waiting in the Wings

[embers_log]

Okay, it is a little silly to do a blog about
Waiting in the Wings more than four years after it was aired (Feb 4, 2002).  But I've been renting all of the Ats DVDs in order from netflix, so I just got to Season 3 disk 4 and for the first time ever I got to see the deleted scene of Alexis 'Wesley' Denisof dancing ballet (brilliantly funny), and

you know, I've never seen that episode of Angel. But, I wasn't really into it, or Buffy, so I don't mind. But it'd be interesting to see the Pre-River Summer.

Just uploaded a tonne of new icons.

I'm always shocked that there are people who love Firefly/Serenity who haven't watched Buffy or Angel. I know I shouldn't be...but I always assume that they didnt' give it a chance because of the dumb movie:
which was NOT representative of Joss' work, because the director and actors didn't follow the script
or
they don't like horror, and don't get that this is not horror, it isn't even scary (it is kind of like Doctor Who: great metaphor and kind of cheesy special effects).

Anyway, if you are never going to watch Buffy, you should still make the effort to see 'Once More With Feeling' and 'Hush'.
And if you are never going to watch Angel I would still recommend seeing 'Waiting in the Wings', which is Joss' favorite Angel episode and was made soon after he finished making OMWF for Buffy.

Now I must go look at your icons, are they on your lj or do you stock pile them at photobucket (which is what I do)?

Oh, I've seen every Buffy ep (my brother has the DVDs) and can sing along with OMWF. I just don't have any love for it. I admit that it is well written and has lots of interesting not SMG characters and it is a good show, just not something I want to watch over and over. Seeing each ep was enough for me. SMG gets on my nerves

I love your new 'Alice' icons...they are great.
I actually had two more icons I wanted you to check out:

Oh, darn I meant to comment on that earlier, but I got distracted or something. Anyway, I still like to reply- so there

yes, I remember you saying that about liking season 1 (which I really didn't like at all, none of the episodes moved me or touched me, or even made me laugh), and not liking Season 3 (which I'm finding very entertaining...but I think I like Andy'Lorne'Hallet more than you...because I really am not a fan of Fred). But we don't all like the same things, after all I LOVE Buffy's S4 the best, and I think you would put that as the worst, right? LOL

Summer Glau was an amazing ballerina, and evidently she impressed Joss by doing her audition with a Russain accent, and English accent, and an American accent (and doing it well in all three).

You're right that the stuff w/Angel hiding his hard-on was lame & juvenile, but you know men love that kind of joke....

oh goodness, I certainly had a lot of misapprehensions didn't I? Sorry about that!
I was thinking about it last night and I think my favorite character is Wesley, and in Season 3 they really start using him more. He had some good moments in S 1&2, but in S 3 he really becomes his own man (first by losing Fred and then by betraying Angel...). I kind of loved how dark and complex he became.

And I loved having Lorne become a regular instead of just an occassional performer.

But I can definitely sympathize with not liking the Conner arc, I'm just finding that it isn't bother me at all (at least not at the moment), not while I'm loving the Wesley so much!
