Will Shetterly's excellent review of S3 and why it is great.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.
Nice review. I agree with everything he says.
Although he did seem a tad sensitve to certain things:
When the Scoobs argue and Xander is the one who sees things clearly, it's a nice moment for Xander because it rarely happens and he quickly hands the Brains of the Outfit hat back to Giles, Willow, and Buffy. But mishandling either of these elements will make it look … girls need guys to solve their problems (see the resolution of season six).
Noxon's "Beauty and the Beasts… ends with Angel saving Buffy rather than Buffy saving herself.
I disagree that showing Xander saving the day or Angel saving Buffy damages the show's feminist credibility too badly.

My memory may be dim, but I don't recall Angel so much "saving" Buffy in "Beauty and the Beasts" as ruthlessly killing the guy she was fighting before Buffy herself could put him down in a non-lethal manner. Actually, "Angel" and "Earshot" are about the only instances I can recall where Angel clearly saved Buffy rather than just helping out.

Fab Filippo [Scott Hope] is on the cover of this week's Now, one of Toronto's alternative weeklies. He's from Toronto originally and performing in "This is our youth" here until October 18th. The article title says "Hot actor returns to the stage after wooing Buffy and wowing Sophia". (Loren)

You should see him naked. I mean, really!
2. Scott Hope's name is Fab!?!?Fabrizio, but he's sometimes credited as "Fab."

Fabrizio, but he's sometimes credited as "Fab."
His parents immigrated to Canada from Calabria.
He goes to some lengths in the article to talk about how straight he is. (After QaF and being mentored in theatre by Daniel McIvor and Ken McDougall, maybe he was having trouble getting dates.) Who knew?

With the number of girls like me who fall for gay guys, I would think that might HELP Fab get dates....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If he doesn't want people to think he's gay, he should stop going by "Fab." IJS.

Sigh. I suppose I shouldn't automatically bristle upon hearing that, given that Fab is fairly young and just starting his career. But I wish QaF would cast some straight actors that didn't study at Kerr Smith's No, Really, I Promise I'm 100% Real Man School of Public Relations. Couldn't someone just say "nah, I'm not really gay, just an actor. Next question?"
