More SFX stuff

doyleI got the SFX Buffy special (the one with the ratings). No word on how many people were involved in the ranking or how they sorted it - or possibly there is, but I just skimmed, so I didn't see it. Things I discerned about the people doing the ranking:
- they love Spike, but only when he's evil
- they love Andrew
- they hate Kennedy
- they hate Riley with the fiery passion of ten thousand suns (the summary of Out of My Mind is "yay, Riley might be dying!")
- they love Xander, but only when he's a loser - they particularly hate the threat of him getting a girlfriend in Beneath Me
- they really loved Chosen
- they did most of it from memory, because there are a bunch of factual errors (plot points attributed to wrong episodes, Andrew referred to as 'Jonathan'...)
The regular SFX has a nice letter about Andrew's sexuality, which seems to be a popular topic. I love the editor's comment: "If Buffy had been on HBO, no doubt Andrew and Warren would have been rutting like randy rabbits" (SFX is a slashy place. A few months back there was another letter about how Andrew and Xander should have gotten together. The editor's response was "oh, please don't give Jayne more ideas..." A page later, Jayne herself mentioned that she was having sleepless nights having "naughty thoughts about Spike on Angel")
I was so very tempted by the Angel magazine, because the centre poster is Angel and Wes. It's homoerotorific.

One of my first thoughts upon the memory wipe, was that if Wesley never went dark, he never would have ended up with Lilah(*sigh*), and might have ended up with Fred, Gunn or Angel (if not for the fact that Joss is still in denial).
The wiping out of Weslah and replacing it with WesFred, is of course, replusive. But maybe if the memory wipe goes more far than Darla coming back peggers, to before Angel went to Darla, we'll have a Ats S1 Wes! Considering how Angel saw Wesley(subtext much?) in his crazy dreams beneath the sea, I won't be surprise if he had Wes reverted back to Season one. WesFred could become very interesting, like a "more" hex version of Willow/Tara?
