BtVS Induces Many of My Migraines.

Ats, on the other hand, not so much. Maybe I haven't repeated enough Ats episodes to create the pocket of pain in my brain that BtVS already has burrowed into. *head-desk*

I need some aspirin.

I tend to forget about S4 of Angel because I've probably watched those episodes the least out of all the episodes of either show. They probably would give me horrible headaches.

With BtVS, it used to be that certain plotholes, muddled mythologies, and other scripty business would give me grief, but now I'm finding that, more and more, it's the characters and their development (or lack thereof) that's bothering me.

My friends used to make this joke that if I was watching a show or reading a book with the main character's name in the title, then I would hate the main character because I dislike Buffy, Utena (from Revolutionary Girl Utena), and Harry Potter. This doesn't hold true though because I like Harry Dresden, Angel, and Jordan (from Crossing Jordan)... and I eventually came to not dislike Harry Potter. You know, Buffy and Utena are like the exact same character, and probably I don't understand them for the exact same reasons... and those reasons give me migraines.

Well, I always thought of Angel as a wanderer. He was wandering about from place to place, not really knowing where he was supposed to belong. He had a family, of sorts, and he felt like they shunned him. Of course, if he had gone to Spike and Drusilla instead of Darla, they might have welcomed him back with a few less conditions to his behavior
