Seeing a loooong comment from you always brings a very particular sort of squee! *dances*
wow, how marvellous! I shall never recover. Never!
I've just this minute ordered Spike: Asylum for the sole purpose of reading your review. Well that's... wow. I'm not sure my review merits it, but the comic certainly is worth buying! (I might have been wondering how to lure you into getting it... *g*)
You won't believe how clever iTunes is though – it knows I'm not you so it won't let me play it. :) Bother.
these are very welcome layers you've unearthed. My pleasure. :) And it kinda took me by surprise, since usually I'm all about the pretty and the entertainment, but suddenly all the stuff underneath jumped out at me! (Darcy saw this post, and has now declared me hopelessly sad on account of having watched the ep 3 times... and now it's 4, since I re-watched it last night. Little Miss M hadn't seen it yet...)
Nothing is as pretty as it should be in shades of peach and yellowy-green. That is tragic indeed.
the save/destroy one was so central to it. Also it shows that the Shanshu was fulfilled... the vampire with a soul will be pivotal in the apocalypse, but no one knows on which side. And having watched it - I still can't tell. Makes me insanely happy. :)
But of course it mattered, because saying sorry was the one thing he couldn't do. I'd forgotten that. Why don't I have all this on video? *sigh* But yes, perfect point.
Yes! Hee! I knew you'd like that. :)
That's a classic Buffyverse discussion, but it holds in the Whoverse too. Which is why I find myself all obsessed all of a sudden...
Of course, I'm still maintaining that the Doctor is Buffy to the Master's late-S2 Angel. Oh yes, that's a great comparison. I have a feeling there might also be Angel/Connor echoes... The Doctor being unable to save the one person he needs to save. (This is definitely the reason the whole thing has suddenly embedded itself in my head. Personal arch-nemesis are so much better and more interesting than plain evil ones.)
Mmmm, and about that, how did the Master lose his soul? ;) *giggles* This show is soooo shippy (and slashy) that I'm sure the fic writers are having a *field day*. *g*
