Since I'm here anyway...
Caught 'Halloween' this morning on Sky One. It is such an enjoyable episode, but by *far* the best bit was Giles! The laugh-out-loud bit when Willow walks through the wall and then the OMG!!eleventyone!!!! when he confronts Ethan and casually beats him up... *happy, happy sigh*
And I think I've worked out part of why I like the later seasons best. Firstly, most of the characters are still SO YOUNG and not actually all that interesting yet - I like my heroes to have many layers and more history. And preferably a dark side too! Also the whole High School set-up is so *very* familiar from a million and one movies and tv shows. Yes there are vampires and demons etc, but it's just too, um, peppy. I think. Not sure what the word is that I'm looking for.
But Oz is adorable! I want one. :)
This bit at the end made me think:
Angel: They [the women when he was young] were just incredibly dull. Simpering morons, the lot of
them. I always wished I could meet someone... exciting. (looks her in
the eyes) Interesting.
Buffy: Really? Interesting how?
Angel: You know how.
Well - he met Darla...
