Random fandomness.

I was talking to sixfootpooka about the injustice that Angel was canceled after five seasons and so much other dreck has lasted 7 or 8 seasons. And musing over Jess Whedon's Slayerverse while fiddling around with my computer. And you know what

Yeah, but better to go out while it was still relatively good, eh?

And Angel/Darla? That's interesting. There used to be a couple of blokes on my original Buffy message board who really, really liked Darla but apart from that I've hardly ever seen anyone even mention her! (Could be because I move in slash circles, I suppose. *g*) But that's cool that you like them, because it's a good pairing. :-)

I got into the online fandom by falling in love with Buffy and Spike as a pairing in Season 5 Buffy. And I'm still fond of Spike/Angel which was my thing during Season 5 Angel and post show for a long time. But I started watching both shows, because I randomly caught the scene where Angel locks Darla and Dru in the basement with all the lawyers, and got chills. I had no idea what was going on, but I loved that scene.

I guess what I mean is Angel and Darla has had my love most consistently, and I still like the pairing. Rather than feeling over it. I don't mean tons of fanfiction. It just *is*.

*chuckles* I hated the Spike/Buffy thing at the time. Probably because I was a dedicated Angel/Buffy fan. Then I started reading fanfic and decided I prefered the boys together without Buffy. *g*

That scene is definitely one of the best bits of Angel. Very, very chilling.

And yeah, that's kind of nice. I have to admit I really don't have an OTP in Buffy or Angel. Spike/Giles is probably my favourite, but I'll read pretty much anything if I know it's going to be good.

What my OTP is tends to depend on what season of what show I was watching most recently, but I don't know that I love any other ship quite the way I love Angel/Darla. And I *know* I don't love any character the way I love Darla. She's my favorite EVER.

Hiya...I hope you don't mind...but I added you as a friend. I based this solely on your userpic. Yes your userpic is that awesome! =)

I'm hoping that you talk about Dr. Who in your journal from time to time when it's showing too.

[skipthedemon]

Heya! I don't mind! :blushes:

I'm a massive Dr. Who fan. I'm slowly plowing my way through all the Old Who canon. Hopefully I will have things to say, and we will indeed chat.

[malic_kenafin]

Old stuff...as in how old? I happen to have some eposodes from WAY back. From the original first and second seasons...in black and white. NOT that I am that old mind you...hehe. But it's funny to see the really really old stuff. =)

I've watched several of the 1st Doctor's stories, all but a couple of the Third Doctor's (who I adore), and I'm 4/5th of the way through the Fourth Doctor's stories. I've seen some of the Fifth Doctor, all have it all to watch when I have time. Also seen some of the 7th. Two is one I have none off!
