Questions Post #13
Do you think Wesley looks like Ed Exley, as played by Guy Pearce, in L.A. Confidential?
What's the thing in lj called, where a post looks like a white page with text, with just a few buttons at the top, and can you always get to that in anyone's journals, or is it only some journals?
Where did the term whinging come from?
How bout the term pressies?
Does DB's acting (in say, Bones) still bother people sometimes?
Does anyone wished DB shaved his face closer these days (on Bones)?
Does anyone not think they fucked with Cordy's character in AtS S3? Besides TKDad, I mean?
Do you guys like Andy Hallett?
Do you guys like Stephanie Romanov?
Has anyone written Cordy/loofah? Anyone?
Do you rewatch eps of BtVS/AtS? How do you do it? Do you just pick out one you liked? Pick out a couple you liked? Watch an arc you liked? Fastforward to the good parts? Rewatch a whole season? Rewatch certain parts for fanfic writing purposes?
How do you make katsu don?
Why can't I get a job?
What ep of anything Whedonverse did you not like much at first, but gained respect for later?
Is there one you liked at first but not so much now?
Are there characters you like better in fanfic than on the actual screen?
Why is Kara Thrace such a badass?
How could that AoQ guy finally give a "SUPERLATIVE" (yeah, all caps) rating to my least favorite ep in all 7 seasons of BtVS?
Is there really any episode worse than "Provider"?
Does anyone just think "ARCHIE KENNEDY!!!!" every time they see Lee Adama?
Why does everyone hate Waiting In The Wings?
Am I the only one who doesn't think Angel making goofy faces at baby!Connor was out of character and stupid?
Am I the only one who actually kinda likes Justine (as a character)?
Okay, I'm done.

Yes, because he *can* act, and the producers and directors are wayyyyy too indulgent with him. he's more nuanced when he's being dommed, acting wise. Hee! Witness Angel the Series ... he was rode hard, and he gavesome brilliant performances that they'll be hard pressed to get him to give up in Bones. I had no idea about that (I mean about them riding him in AtS. Heh. Riding him) but if I'd've had to guess, I would've guessed that they had. He was kickass in AtS, and he just kept getting better, and you can *see* it in the way his acting became so much tighter; instead of expressing everything all the time it was all there in his eyes and in his stillness. In Bones, sometimes, he just seems out of wack, like he's everywhere. And he uses the get-in-people's faces thing way too often in order to be intense. And I'm inclined to blame the directors for stuff like that, because they *should* notice that every once in a while, what he does doesn't work. I mean, it's his fault too, but since I *have* seen him turn out absolutely fucking fabulous acting, he should be able to do it in Bones too, and whenever he's off it just annoys the fuck out of me, because I know he's *good* and can do better. /rant
Me!! Me!! Oh, I miss the smooth Angel look ... but then I think of where that stubble could drive me, and um. I go all Faith. like as in "unnnhhhh". Yeah, way TMI there. But it's Dave. Oh, you know we're all thinking it. But anyway, the thing is, I *like* scruffy, but some guys just can't pull it off because of the way their hair grows, it's uneven. That's the case with DB. He still looks motherfucking hot; I just wish he'd be smooth again.
They were all over the map with her ... the Groo crap made me mental ... but I think they messed with her worse in S4. Well, in S4, she became a plot device. Her character was gone. Thing was, I liked the plot device, so while the character being gone was sad, I still liked her...place in everything. But Cordy S3 was fucked up for no reason, and without explanation. It drives me nuts.
Do you guys like Andy Hallett? no. I don't like him either. I've always felt bad for not liking him, but I really don't.
Hmm. Did [info]damnskippytoo do that with Fuck Buddies? I'm not certain... I dunno, but if you find out I want to know! Ha!
All of Firefly, really. Never made sense to me, I hate space operas, and I never liked Summer Glau as the ballerina in WITW. Alas, I adore it now! Wash lives! I'm glad you like it now, because it'd make me sad if you didn't. WIllow, not so much. I do love her, but I...find her hard to wrap my head around. Her overall character development was actually far more huge than just about any Whedonverse character, and we saw a lot less of her than Buffy herself.
I never understood why they didn't work the perfect happiness angle harder and threaten his joy with Angelus *then*. Think about it: the one thing that made Angel truly happy was his son! And no soul flinging! No, I completely agree. Them working that in would've made me happier than happy. Because I find Angel finding it with Connor more believable than I do with Angel ever finding it with a woman again.
Am I the only person who thinks Lindsey should have been Connor's father? Uh...yes? Explain!
There's somebody out there writing Justine for [info]zandra_x has a whole Justine thing going on at her Joss 100 table. Cool! I'll have to check that out!

I get that in The Trial, the PTB gave Darla her life in the form of Connor. Okay. But Lindsey and Darla were screwing aplenty -- and it just always seemed more fascinating to me to have Angel love this child, claim him, and then to find out that he was Lindsey's? Talk about the ultimate triumph of evil over good and another hurdle in a ste of endless hurdles for Angel. It would have made for some fascinating AtS S6 drama.
Now I know this flies in the face of the Nyazian scrolls, but it might *not*, considering that everyone who worked for W&H was bound for eternity to the firm -- so in a post-NFA scenario, Lindsey is still a player (as are all the AI team members)and there's the opportunity for the plot device. We would probably see a return to the 'setting women on fire!Angel' -- all wrath and fury and sorrow, and it would be wonderful to see where he could go -- especially if Spike took the role of balancing influence (a la Cordy or Doyle).
If I wrote long-form fic, I'd give it a shot to see here it goes, but my atention span for longer pieces in non-existent.
Wacky? Wild? Impossible?

I don't know about that. I guess I'm having trouble even fathoming what Angel's reaction would be if he found out Connor wasn't actually his son. But I guess at that point he would just feel so royally screwed over, I'm not even sure he'd have anger left.

Well, this whole idea makes me really really REALLY wish that you did write longer fic! Because I'd be interested to watch Angel's reactions play out.
