Buffy and Angel

[girliejones]

I'm deep into my rewatching of Buffy and Angel - midseason 5 of Buffy and midseason 2 of Angel. I can't quite believe how engrossed I am in them after having putting off the rewatch for so long. On the other hand, it's quite a lot of television and even inhaling at 4 eps or so a day, it's taken a couple of weeks. I've stuck with watching them

The scene where Faith begs Angel to kill her - breaks me.

I never liked Riley either. He was boring (and had floppy hair - it's shallow, but it was the same problem with Dean on Gilmore Girls. Actually I initially thought Dean was Riley, and thus hated him on sight.).

hahaha - except I *liked* Dean!

I'm usually not someone who judges characters on sight, or even really dislikes characters. But I never recovered from that initial impression of Dean (and I still have issues with Jared Padalecki on Supernatural - though at least now it's more to do with his acting skills rather than his floppy hair (he acts with his nose)).

I never really got into Supernatural. I do love me the pretty boys but it was just too scary for me and then too repetitive I think.

you think Dawn is carcinogenic?

[girliejones]

I'm just wondering?
Or maybe Glory?

I think at one point, after Buffy's been looking into all the possible mystical causes, that Giles tells her that he thinks it is just a human disease, not caused by anything that Buffy can fight. Which, of course, makes it even harder for her to accept.

[girliejones]

Yeah but I think at that point, he didn't know about Dawn being the key and for me that didn't convince me.

It works either way and is really gutwrenching either way.
