And just because I didn't spam you enough yesterday...

Had a lovely evening last night. There was *nothing* on TV (and we got bored of saying rude things about the male figure skaters' cosumes), so Darcy decided that watching a bit of early Buffy (i.e. funny, not depressing) would be a good idea. :) So we watched 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' (which I'd completely forgotten was a Valentine's episode!) and 'Passion'. Much fun and much angst and OMG-Angelus-is-such-a-bastard!!! And they were all so young and innocent and just generally lots of 'aaaaaw!' Oh and anyone who thinks that Xander was this really swell guy who was ruined in the later seasons is *delusional*!
From 'Passion':
Cordelia: So Giles is gonna try to kill Angel then?
Xander: Well, it's about time somebody did.
Willow: Xander!
Xander: I'm sorry, but let's not forget that I hated Angel long before
you guys jumped on the bandwagon. So I think I deserve a little
something for not saying 'I told you so' long before now. And if Giles
wants to go after the, uh, (looks up at Buffy) fiend that murdered his
girlfriend, I say, 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'

Oh and he wants to to the lovespell out of pure vengeance - me thinks he and Anya were destined to be! *g* But seriously, he has a very nasty streak when things don't go his way. I think he was right to worry about turning into his father.

Also I found it very interesting that everyone keeps calling Angelus 'Angel' - even Dru does it. The only one who goes with 'Angelus' is Spike. (Oh and seeing Dru wheeling Spike away from danger in the factory fight scene was for some reason incredibly funny.)

What else? The Baby is now 4 1/2 months old and very chubby and cute and she can *almost* roll over.

Before I run, just a couple more things...

If you're after a slightly different Valentine's fic, try Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Buffy & Connor). And it's wonderfully short! Part of [livejournal.com profile] inlovewithnight's Valentine's Fluffyton.

Joss speaks again. And cracks me up. What is it about that guy and puppies?

ETA: I completely forgot this! 'Arbitrar of Quality' (who is watching BtVS for the first time, unspoilt), just reviewed 'Ted' and thought it the best ep. of the series so far! You can find the review here if you're interested, but rememeber not to spoil him!

ETA 2: Sorry I'm so bad at commenting on all your lovely posts. But time isn't my friend!
