Unpopular TGiQ opinions

So I saw The Girl In Question this afternoon -



:pours drinks for kita0610, probably the only person in here with me:

That *rocked*. And I get why people hated it, I really do. It just pushed every comedy button I possess and I was able to guiltilty overlook giant leaps in characterization and canon (but even I was wondering, what the hell was up with Darla's characterization? marymac had to ask if Julie Benz had been recast.)

This was so Angel meets Allo Allo (come on, they could have been after the Fallen Madonna With Ze Big Boobies rather than the capo) by way of Father Ted (I had "Ooh, I really hate Father Dick Byrne!" running through my head every time Angel and Spike seethed with jealousy).

Add a :dies: to everything below...

We had to watch the 'Ciao' scene at least half a dozen times.

I think Kevin might have lost his soul at the moment he saw Andrew in a Strongbad (?) t-shirt.

The identical Italian branch of Wolfram and Hart. Illona was great. And chestacular. (connorbeast, as Angel's internal monologue: 'Note to self. Suggest employee exchange program.')

Little mama/blondie bear. :dies twice:

Spike and Angel repeating practically every argument I've ever heard online over who's the best. "I signalled her with my eyes!" "That one counts as mine!"

"Concurrently!"

Dear God, the jacket...

That's the funny, this is the squee-worthy -

So. Much. Slash. Spike and Angel on the plane, and fighting in slo-mo, and on the Vespa! Angelus and William actually liking each other. This deserves to spawn at least a million fanfics. And they so had sex on Angel's desk five seconds after the camera cut away. This episode seriously put me over the edge into OTPofalltime territory. I must have at least 47 more S/A icons than I currently possess.

Angel/Nina! This *will* spawn a million fanfics. All of them by me.

Canon Darla/Dru! Julie and Juliet looked gorgeous, too.

The one thing that I didn't like was the hetting-up of Andrew, but I can fanwank it as his two fabulous girl-pals who are just escorting him to a great gay bar. (And - "blonde hair and blue eyes"? I couldn't work out whether that was a continuity boob or Angel just got distracted by the other blue-eyed blond he's crazily in love with...)


Oh, and the master list for ats_endofdays is here. Anyone who hasn't already signed up is free to - hell, people who have already signed up can ask for a second assignment if they want - but I figured since I had all 110 episodes covered (!) I might as well start organizing.

ETA: whhhy can I not find Spangel icons? Anybody know where hoyaylicious Spangel icons may be hiding?

I think it was "Hop on, Little Mama" when I realized I'd fallen into some wonderful parallel universe where DOOUL was canon.

Hee!

On the plane when they were drinking the mini bottles and Spike said "I still don't like you"

I was like, dude, somewhere on that plane is a twister mat.
