Jan. 16th, 2003 07:52 amSo I liked Angel last night. Shoot me now, but I'm not in the mood to be critical...actually, no I am in the mood to be critical, just not about this. I have major fandom depression; is this normal? Even when The X-Files was going downhill, I was okay - there was stuff to watch. But now, if what keeps going around is true, it is the last season of Buffy and Angel. WTF? I was relying on Angel having at least a fifth season. Add to this Farscape's cancellation and I ask you: what the hell am I going to watch? Friends? Fuck that - I won't.
I would say that there is sure to be a new series that is well written and acted and has intriguing characters and a well-defined sense of whimsy - except recent history assures me that is such a series were to exist it would be canceled in the first 12 episodes. Meanwhile, Joe Millionaire inspires 100 spin-offs...
So what am I gonna do with myself? I may be forced to get a life *shudder* I don't really want a life - I like staying at home just fine, thank you very much. Yesterday I considered throwing myself into my work, but the kind of work I do does not exactly engender itself to being something one would throw themselves into... kinda like a volcano. Maybe I will travel? Anybody out there want a generally perky, over-talkative with a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder houseguest? I'll buy dinner.

RE Angel. Hey, I liked it, too. It was a journeyman ep, IMO, in that it propelled the plot along. Wondering about W&H's satellite offices now. I'm going to miss hating Gavin. Thought distraught Lilah looked very vulnerable and sexy. Loved Angel's attitude re C/C. heh.
As has been posted on list? Cordy's boobs need their own place in the credits. They've become regulars now.
And somebody? KILL Gunn. I swear. He's the picture of masculine insecurity, and for God's sake, man!! Wes took a fuckin' *bullet* for you!! Fred's just a chick. Get over it. Sorry. Sorry. Ranting took over for a second.
Oh! Is Angel using Grecian Formula now? His hair looked tres noir....

Date: 2003-01-16 10:50 am (UTC)I noticed that Cordy's hair was darker again, and that made me happy, because Blonde!Cordy was just All Wrong. It still needs to be darker and longer, though.
And this CAN'T be the last season of Angel!!! NOOOOO!!! In fact, even if SMG leaves, I say continue with Buffy!!! Make it the Spike Show!!!

It can't be the end. I won't let it.

Date: 2003-01-16 05:03 pm (UTC)My OCD sometimes means I start a task and then get distracted by a tiny little portion and totally focus on it to the detriment of the task as a whole. It can be cute and it can be scary. Dawn asked me to clean the kitchen at her old house one time and I got stuck putting the coffee mugs back on the shelf. She came home a few hours later and the kitchen was still in shambles and I was still standing in front of the shelf. The mugs, however were perfectly spaced. Truly a thing of beauty. Really.

Date: 2003-01-16 05:12 pm (UTC)I was getting used to a world without Buffy - but if that world also means no more Angel...I want no part in that, thank you very much.

Date: 2003-01-16 06:54 pm (UTC)With Buffy and Firefly gone, maybe UPN would be willing to give us...
Joss Whedon's
Enterprise
Would that not kick ass? Next Generation sucked its first two seasons before they changed the direction of the show. It's not too late to save Enterprise...
At least I have Survivor and the Jack Bauer Power Hour to keep me warm at night.

Date: 2003-01-17 04:47 pm (UTC)Please don't tell the Spirit where I live - Dawn just cleaned and the apartment is finally all clean and livable. Also - me in a room surrounded by 2000 books - I used to have dreams like that...
