Fandom Babble (SG-1, Atlantis, Buffy)

Jan 21, 2005 22:38

Just finished watching SG-1 and Atlantis. Now I must ramble like the fangirl I am. ^_^

SG-1- Is it just me, or is someone trying to kill this show? The quality has gone down hill so fast it's practically a vertical drop. *disgusted* We had, what, five seconds of Daniel total? Then there's all the forced UST between Carter and her commanding ( Read more... )

stargate, vampires, slash, battlestar, atlantis, buffy

There's some awesome Atlantis later in the season (illegal downloads much? haha). And Sheppard does not want Weir. He wants Teyla and probably McKay and possibly Ford. Not Weir. Because no one wants Weir because she's dull. :)

Good. Orgy in the gateroom! ^_~

Seriously-- I like Weir and Sheppard as friends, and I can't stand Weir solo. A romantic pairing would be scary. *much relief*

Bad Amber. No cookie. *gives a cookie anyway*

Nah, it's okay. :) I just thought I might have a shot at seeing it in the lounge if it were tomorrow. Happy watching!

I hear you on Spike. As much as I kinda liked the last episode, Buffy really fizzled at the end. Stupid Spike-ruining.
If you ever watch Angel, Spike shows up for the last season. And, well, Spike and Angel having to work together and completely hating each other? So great.

I even have a sneaking likeness for... *is embarrassed* Buffy/Angel.
They had their moments. The last episode of season 2 always kills me dead with them. And actually I like their relationship better after it's over, how it's dealt with when he gets his own series. But like one of your earlier post's comment thread pointed out, and finally made me realize, the age thing is creepy.

The thing is, one can do Spike-in-love without being OOC. They did it with Dru, and they could do it again, just not with Buffy. Spike would never in a million years have any sort of tolerance for Buffy. He'd probably think of it as messing with Angel's left overs. *has squicked herself with the above statement*

I was just watching the ep where Dru comes back and tries to get Spike to return to the fold. For a few minutes, I saw the real Spike... *sniffles* And then they had to do that weird Harmony/Dru/Buffy cat fight thing. *snorting*

And, well, Spike and Angel having to work together and completely hating each other? So great.
Dang it-- bewteen you, Raven, and Amber, I'm gonna end up watching Ats too. Evil, you are.

But like one of your earlier post's comment thread pointed out, and finally made me realize, the age thing is creepy.Which is why I don't really support the pairing-- just have a sneaking likeness ( ... )

That's a really interesting idea.
Actually, I could almost believe it from that perspective. I mean, Spike has definite severe Angel-issues and I could see him going after Buffy just to torment Angel. But that isn't how the series does it - they make him very out of character and love-sick puppy. The kicker is, I can believe the Buffy half of the romance a little bit, but not the Spike.

It's choppy. Especially the later seasons. Some episodes were just amazing and then there'd be a long string of crap. But it definitely had it's moments and I loved Doyle more than any other character in the whole Buffyverse (he narrowly beat out Oz) and Westley got to grow up and Gunn and Fred were fun.
*holds out crack*

Angel does sorta get a good pair in his series, but, well, he's cursed. So obviously things go

*nods* Spike's goal then would be to be the one in control. To wrap Buffy around his finger and throw it in Angel's face, or something like that.

But that isn't how the series does it - they make him very out of character and love-sick puppy. The kicker is, I can believe the Buffy half of the romance a little bit, but not the Spike.
Exactly. Spike loves, but when he does, it's a deep, twisted, consuming thing-- not a stealing-your-sweater thing. He'll do anything for the one he loves (look at Dru), but he doesn't expose the 'weakness' of loving unless he's certain he's safe and in control.

You push your product well, little lady. ^_~

'Cause, other wise, it wouldn't be a curse. ^___^
