lathanyAnd, yes, I will be doing this every Friday. But I promise to always stick them in a cut.
Buffy - Same Time, Same Place
Being a big Willow fan, I really liked this episode. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of Giles, but otherwise it was pretty good. I thought the use of the "demon spotting" spell was interesting, with overtones of whether Anya-Willow might be a possibility (or perhaps just to make the fans speculate). I liked the combination of the "non-existence" spell and the skin-eater, although the demon was a bit too "Dark Crystal" (as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur mentioned). Also the bit where Dawn falls off the sofa was a good touch. Pity there was no more season plot (as far as I could see).
Angel - Ground State
Quite a good episode, although the girl (Gwen) was too stereotypey (possibly she was auditioning for Terminator 3). The interactions between Angel, Gunn and Fred were very believable. The simultaneous "breaking into the vault" was great. Unfortunately, Wesley now appears to be omniscient. I bet that he'll go back to a more normal knowledge level should he ever rejoin Angel Investigations.
The snow (or rather, the ice) has made today extremely miserable. Why ? Because my parents were going to babysit whilst I went into London and shopped (bateleur has ordered me to go spend some money on myself). Now, however, they can't get here due to the over-night car park situation (9 and 10 hour delays on M11 and A1(M)). Even if they could, the railway lines are currently on dire form.
Never mind, at least it is a Friday.

It's on next week.
Surely he would be less "creepy" if he *wasn't* "makin' on every XX that crosses his path" ?!

I'll look forward to your reaction to Help.
Perhaps I should have said...
Date: 2003-01-31 08:28 am (UTC)There is an actual age difference of about six years between the actors, if I remember rightly. Although these days it looks a lot better as SMG seems to have aged disproportionately over the series. I found her far more believable as 15/16 in season 1 than I do as 21/22 in season 7.

Date: 2003-01-31 09:21 am (UTC)I don't care if he was 28 in Buffy, he stinkin' looked 40, and now he looks about a million years old.
Agreed that SMG has aged, which I totally attribute to her precipitous weight loss. When will they learn that being super skinny makes you look older? As Sophia Loren once said, at a certain point you've got to choose between your face and your ass. SMG chose her ass, and her face shows it. A few more pounds would make her look much younger.
