What are your thoughts on his 'strategic' nominations? I think it's just his way of getting through the nominations as quickly as possible, that he's doing it in an ironic kind of 'Can't argue with this, can you BB?' way.
Couldn't agree more, Emlah. It took me a while to warm to him but now I think he's fantastic.
And I agree with jimi about the retcon...or at least I want to.
Whitefont: Oh, it's a retcon. I'm pretty sure they've said the ascension was serious at the time. (Look, an unsourced rumor!) But I so don't care, it was such a relief.
Eh, I don't REALLY see it as a retcon, because while there intent may have been to show the Crapture as a serious thing, they didn't really CHANGE anything, or backtrack over continuity, or mash canon with a fork to get there. Spike's sire is Dru? Retcon. This? NSM.
I think of it more as an Alias-tastic reset. Could just be me.
Well, I don't think that it's contradicting anything that specifically came before really, no. But I don't think they've been planning this as a plot point for three years either. Which I hasten to say doesn't bother me in this case.
Oh, no, not at all. I'm still happy as hell that they did it, because I can safely tuck the whole Angel/Cordy thing into my "of course, she infected with EVIL at the time, so it wasn't REALLY Cordy completely changing her character and deciding that she loved Angel" excuse. Brr. Unclean.
Uh, are we white-fonting for a reason? If it's a NZ shaped reason, then cool. But I don't see any other reason to bother.
Yeah, what are all the white spaces for? If I'm the only Kiwi (which I think I am), then don't bother on my account. I assume you're discussing Angel, and I'm not concerned about it, being only back on season 2, and more interested in Buffy anyway.
Seriously Kassto ... you don't want to be spoiled for Season 4 of Angel.
though I guess if you've already read the white-font stuff, you probably have been spoiled ...
Thanks evil jimi, but I seriously don't mind. Even if I do ever get wrapped up in Angel series 4, I don't care if I'm spoiled. I'm not seriously into it. I hate Angel as a character -- my opinion of him is close to Spike's.

Hee! That's it, I have to go watch the 'nancy boy hair gel' speech right now.

Okay, that right there is an excellent reason for me to get over my misgivings - thanks! Blargh. Angel wuvs Cordy is almost single-handedly responsible for my dislike of Season 3. I hereby declare to Trust that this twist, whether long-planned arc or clever save, will take me somewhere exciting and right past wrongs.
And re: white font... I actually thought we were white fonting for you, Leigh, cos you missed it and all. Are you spoiled already? I knew you were for Buffy but I wasn't sure if you were for Angel.
