Excuse me while I whine

Aww, why was this cut from Touched? (Because the universe hates me...)

ANDREW
Hi, everybody. I missed you guys a
lot. Sorry we took so long getting
back from our mission-mission but we
had to wait out the sun and hey --
(re: Xander)
Oh, cool... very Col. Nick Fury.
You're lookin' good!

XANDER
Seeing slightly less good. But,
thanks.

Because it was just too gay - the screen would've exploded with the sheer force of USTy goodness and UPN would've gone out of business overnight repaying everyone in the US for their damaged TV sets ;)

Yeah, coupled with the First/Mayor's line about how all Faith ever wanted was for Buffy to love her (that got cut, right, or did I miss it?), the slash would just have gone off the charts...

I'm pretty sure that line was there. I remember woohooing *g*

I can't believe they cut that! OMG, that was just so incredibly slashy. Makes my Xandrew heart happy.

*waves* Hi, from across a friendsfriends list.
I know, didn't that need to be in there? Beyond the adorable geek-love, it's an acknowledgement of Xander's Nick Fury fondness. Everyone's talking about the pirate stuff, which I get, but for me it's totally about Sgt. Fury. Now all he needs is the premature white wings!

Hello, friend-of-one-of-my-friends *g*

I'd have loved the geeky SHIELD reference, because it's something my boys would bond over. Would it have killed them to keep it in, really? :sulks:

Xander Harris, Agent of S.H.I.E.D.!

Hee! This cries out for a spinoff...

[mlyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I whoohooed it too.

::sigh:: That's why I almost regret reading spoilers--knowing about the little goodies that always get left out.

So who's making the petition for a Andrew/Xander/Spike spinoff? ;)

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Me! Me! They could drive round in the Troika's old van solving mysteries, with Spike snarking at Xander and Andrew to stop making out in the back when he's trying to read the map!

Just the fact that that scene 'almost' made it to my TV makes me smile. My imagination doesn't care what is canon and what isn't...

BTW - Didn't Xander's mention of a ransom note to the FE make you giggle? thefirstevil was the, um, first thing to come to mind.

Re:

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Lol! Yeah, as did most of the FE's interaction with Caleb and her jealousy at missing out on all the lovin' going on...

Re:

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I really don't remeber the FE having that fun a personality until post-thefirstevil.

Coincidence?
