superplin has a terrific analysis of what’s going on in last week’s episode.TBQ says of the promos for tonight’s episode:
On a serious note, though, they do mean it about the graphic content. Normally I don't spoil like this but I've seen promo shots and the makeup department has definitely earned its salary. Might want to be careful if you've got a squeamish stomach.
Okay, for some reason i was looking up the phrase “are you now or have you ever been” last night. Skimming an episode summary i see this about the woman named Judy:
[[ Turns out, the guy who was after her wasn't her boyfriend at all - he was a detective, hired by her former employers, a bank in Salina, Kansas. ]]
“Salina” makes me do a double take and i pull up my movie quote file and sure enough:
“My name is Judy Barton. I come from Salina, Kansas. I work at Magnin’s, and I live here.”
-Vertigo
I feel like this has to be on purpose, and various Googlings eventually proved that yes, Tim Minear did it on purpose. I feel validated.

I haven't been hating on Buffy, but Angel has been basically all-quality all-the-time, while Buffy has been not so much. So yeah, very pleased tonight.

"Shiny Happy People" (Angel 4.18)
Apr. 10th, 2003 12:30 amThere was a prolonged scream from everyone in the room at the preview for next week.
And as for this week's episode, as Meredith said, "Next week's Buffy is going to be a huge disappointment after this, regardless of actual episode quality."

You say "obsessed" like it's a bad thing.

Unrelatedly,jennyo has a quality post on Fred’s character, particularly her emotional maturity and lack thereof. Also, astute reviewers have pointed out that “Lies My Parents Told Me” is a better title than “Mothers and Sons” for BtVS 7.17 because of the Buffy/Giles dynamic and mention “Helpless”.
Thanks totmhsiao for the quote from Darla in the Angel episode “Prodigal” (1.15): What we once were informs all that we have become. Also, truepenny theorizes (intelligently and convincingly) that getting vamped unleashes one’s Id. [truepenny’s essay was written after the most recent Buffy episode, “Lies My Parents Told Me,” and as such contains spoilers for that episode.]
Speaking of LMPTM, in her entry,djinanna says:tsuki_no_bara adds to the latter: and, uh, shag like minks....
silviakundera asserts that we've been here ["here" being Wood and his issues with Spike] already with Holtz on Angel last season.
Let’s talk about Spike’s soul and what it means, or doesn’t. And then let’s read the fic set at end of “Grave” thathecatehatesthat mentions in that entry.
fox1013 has a great beginning of a Dawn POV S7 fic.
Okay, i’m going now.

(That is your fault). Yesterday i decided that “Outta Me, Onto You” was my current theme song. Not so sure tonight, though. In a poor mood this evening and i’m not sure why. My dry-erase board also says BUFFY tonight because this morning i realized that, damn, it’s Tuesday again already. The Angel premiere gets two words: Hot, damn. Thanks to Meredith for linking to a really interesting bit about Cordy.

You will belatedly realize you've become part of the problem when you board a train that leaves Philadelphia at noon traveling 45 miles an hour.

That was scriptura continua. Are you impressed?
It is also from "Cradle and All" by Ani DiFranco, but that is less impressive.
Home. Where I grew up. The one place that hasn’t changed. The one true constant in my life! ... Hope I can stand it for a whole summer! (I keep forgetting that the college girl is named Elizabeth.)
how long till my soul gets it right can any human being ever reach that kind of light
i call on the resting soul of galileo king of night vision king of insight
-“Galileo,” Indigo Girls
( The Week in Review. It's long, really. And full of song lyric quotage. And not really all that interesting. )
