Jun. 10th, 2004 09:04 pmAhahaha. I love SFX. Their summary of Angel's history (as transcribed by deborahthejudge on BAPS):
Liam is sired by Darla, rises from the dead and eats his
family. He takes on the cooler name `Angelus' after his sister
mistakes him for an angel. Everyone else mistakes him for a Welshman.
And something I'm so pleased someone has pointed out:
Angel meets the poet Baudelaire. He implies that
Baudelaire wrote `Le Vampyr' about him. With lines such
as `Humiliate my soul, to make your bed my domain, I am bound to
your squalid whole, like a convict to a chain', it's safe to assume
that they weren't close friends.
Connor and Cordelia sleep together, as Angel watches. Yes,
you read that right – Connor has sex with his dad's girlfriend while
his father watches. The audience says "Ew" at the same exact moment
and a thousand car alarms go off.
After Fred spends many hours of overtime trying to cure Spike
of his ghostliness, he gets sent a box, which turns him corporeal.
Audience marvels at Joss Whedon's approach to plotting, while Spike
marvels at his ability to beat up Angel.
( The whole thing )
Oh, and there's a discussion on season 7 going on in this post if anybody wants to jump in.

hp_essays about Britpicking - because some of the Harry Potter fic I was reading last night was fantastic but had an Americanism every couple of paragraphs1, and dumpsters and diapers2 and candy stores in a British setting just bring me to a screeching halt - and am I understanding the comments right? The books were translated into American English? :boggles: I knew the title of Philosopher's Stone was changed but assumed the text had been left alone. That just seems odd.
1: Yep, aware of the irony in this since I'm plenty guilty of sticking Briticisms into Buffy fic.
2. Uh, the nappies/diapers were on a baby, they weren't the kind for grown-ups.
