Whoa. I'll have to take a look :)

[lokifan]

I fucking love Origin Stories. Had you not encountered it before?

[saintgilbert]

No, never! It's amazing though!!! Parts of it went over my head because I haven't seen AtS, but taken in a more meta/political context it still made perfect sense.

And what perfect sense.

[lokifan]

oh yeah. i think in some ways you don't need ats to understand it, at least if you get that dana - the girl in the basement - is a slayer. because one of the many things i love about origin stories is that we see angel and wesley etc appear from dana's pov, so they just appear briefly at the end as another pair of white men to take her down.

shift key is broken sorry

[saintgilbert]

Yeah, I didn't know exactly who she was, so I did some detective work and then watched it again, hah.

we see angel and wesley etc appear from dana's pov - something I assume we never see on the show, like in BtVS, correct?

Oh no, broken shift keys! How will you capitalize Certain Words to show how important they are? ;)
