Questions Post #9

[lettered]

It's been a while, but it's the first of the month, and I have more questions.

How tall is Nicholas Brendon?
Have I asked that before?
Why do they put people on boxes? I like the height differences. Now all I can think about are the boxes.

What's a fanfic remix?
What is "O.o" supposed to represent?

When do you think Cordelia went evil?
When was the first moment you knew you really liked Cordelia as a character?

Do you like Buffy's look in S1? Did you always like it, or did you find it barf worthy and then later learn to love it?
Did Flutie getting eaten shock you?
Does Giles seem really nervous when he first meets Angel? Doesn't he seem like he's acting how I get around someone I think is really really cool or really really hot? Not that you would know how I get but can't you imagine it?
Was there actually a plan for a plot with the Annoying One or was he just set up and then they couldn't figure out what to do with him?
Does anyone know if there were ever any ideas expressed by anyone re: what S6 of AtS may've been if they'd gotten a chance to do it, and if so is there a link to the conversation/whatever it was? Because I'm morbidly curious.

Are Potentials of a certain age? When Willow makes them all Slayers, does she activate little girls who would be, and old women who would've been? Or just gals of a certain age?
What happens when all those activated Slayers die? Is it back to one Slayer dies and another one is called?
Is any of this covered in Fray?

Do you think W&H's/Vail's spell to give Connor a life gets broken when Vail dies/Angel reneges on his deal to "work for" W&H? As in, the false memories disappear and no one has the false memories any more so Connor is pretty much basically back where he started, unless his family is willing to accept him anyway even though they have no memory of him/feelings for him before a year ago, nor he of them?

Did Larry die?
When did Giles invite Angel into his house, so that Angel could get in in "Passions"?
What does the line "I'm the one getting single white femaled here" mean? Is that a dumb question? Am I slow? I just don't get it.
Why do you think they decided to make Drusilla Spike's Sire?

I've never liked Buffy's look, ever. I'm one of those weirdos who think that SMG is not really all that hot.

It's weird, when I saw her on other stuff, I didn't think she was hot at all, didn't think she was a good actress, thought I would hate her--she's one of the main reasons I stayed away from the show. The truth is, I still don't think she's all that...how do you say, I don't know, beautiful, I guess. When I was buying S6&7 at the store the girl at Best Buy was all like "Oh, I love this show! Sarah Michelle Gellar is just the prettiest girl ever!" And I...don't really feel that way. I do think, however, that she's one of the most charismatic presences ever, and that her expressions, the way she acts, the way she moves, just--everything about her that's not her standing very still for a single photograph--are just some of the sexiest, cutest, most endearing, most engaging things ever in a star. /sorry, extreme Buffy/SMG love.

But according to one of those face-profiling web sites, SMG is the celebrity I most resemble, so I probably shouldn't be too critical of her.

Well, if it's any comfort, I don't think you look like her. But I still think you're pretty!

DB's words were, "They have such a history and such great chemistry together." Bestill my heart!!! I can't find the link, though, sorry.

Now that you mention it I think I've actually read a transcript of that interview, or something. I think DB liked being able to let loose more, which he got to more when Spike was around.

I've seen several fanon arguments that menstruation is tied with Slayerhood.

entrenous88 mentioned that above--what an interesting idea.

To piss us off? I think it fit better into the "Fool for Love" backstory, which in turn fit better into Spike's Season 5 arc.

There are quite a few things I actually enjoy about Dru being Spike's sire, and among them several A/S reasons as well. But I did feel like it was a retcon established at the time SOLELY to service the ep FtL, and that just drives me nuts.

Thanks--and thanks for your answers!

The truth is, I still don't think she's all that...how do you say, I don't know, beautiful, I guess.

SMG is an example of the difference between what someone is 'on paper' and what they can pull out of themselves given the right material. I mean, she's pretty enough but in a lineup not a super-knockout. But given the right stuff to work with, she can be killer. She can emote well, she's got a great range with what she can do with her voice, and she moves very well too.

It's a contrast, for example, with Charisma Carpenter who is gorgeous and such a pinup - but the way Charisma speaks is a major turnoff.

Yeah! Exactly! That's just what I meant.

And true about CC as well. Which I liked because it actually kinda fit the part. Though it was a little overwhelming sometimes.
