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?

I have an endless love for memes, so I'm jumping in head-first here.. :)
Do you think Wesley looks like Ed Exley, as played by Guy Pearce, in L.A. Confidential? Yes, I do, especially when he's in his excessively clean-cut, prim-and-proper incarnation.
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? I have absolutely no idea.
Where did the term whinging come from? British for 'whining', I believe.
How bout the term pressies? Once again with the 'no idea'.
Does DB's acting (in say, Bones) still bother people sometimes? Sometimes. Other times I think he's doing some of the best acting I've yet seen from him, so it's hit or miss...
Does anyone wished DB shaved his face closer these days (on Bones)? I looooove me some scruff.
Does anyone not think they fucked with Cordy's character in AtS S3? Poor Cordy. Her characterization got SO jacked in that season, and she was so very wrongfully used..
Besides TKDad, I mean? Um.
Do you guys like Andy Hallett? Muchly.
Do you guys like Stephanie Romanov? Sure, whatever.
Has anyone written Cordy/loofah? Anyone? Not that I have seen. EVER.
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? I tend to start at the beginning every once in a while and work my way through; it feels so rewarding to get the whole story all over again. Except when I'm drunk- then I just throw something in and watch it (usually season three BtVS)
How do you make katsu don? Katsu-whatnow?
Why can't I get a job? Because jobs are strange and elusive creatures...
What ep of anything Whedonverse did you not like much at first, but gained respect for later? A lot of season five Angel was like that for me...
Is there one you liked at first but not so much now? Eh, I don't know. The ones involving Riley? Because he was made of teh suck? And also, cardboard.
Are there characters you like better in fanfic than on the actual screen? Buffy.
Why is Kara Thrace such a badass? I don't know.
How could that AoQ guy finally give a "SUPERLATIVE" (yeah, all caps) rating to my least favorite ep in all 7 seasons of BtVS? I don't know what that means.
Is there really any episode worse than "Provider"? A few. Whedonverse in general? Inca Mummy Girl comes to mind.
Does anyone just think "ARCHIE KENNEDY!!!!" every time they see Lee Adama? Er...
Why does everyone hate Waiting In The Wings? I love it, except that poor Summer's accent is atrocious, and I'm not a big fan of the Angel/Cordy thing. I am thinking of the right ep, right?
Am I the only one who doesn't think Angel making goofy faces at baby!Connor was out of character and stupid? No. I thought it just showed a facet of his personality that we had not seen yet. Maybe a more human facet.
Am I the only one who actually kinda likes Justine (as a character)? Ugh. I thought she had great potential, but that it was sadly, sadly, sadly squandered.
That was fun.

Sometimes. Other times I think he's doing some of the best acting I've yet seen from him, so it's hit or miss... I feel the same way. He's really improved since BtVS S1 (in which he absolutely sucked) and sometimes, dude, I don't just think he's passable or good, but really really freakin' amazing as an actor, with the subtlety and the minute facial expression that just says everything. Other times? I'm just like, man, what was the director thinking, letting him get away with that crap?

I looooove me some scruff. I often do too (scruffy!Wesley makes me need my bunk), but the shadow on DB doesn't ever look like enough to be real scruff. I think he has uneven hair. I don't think he'd look good with a beard.

I tend to start at the beginning every once in a while and work my way through; it feels so rewarding to get the whole story all over again. Except when I'm drunk- then I just throw something in and watch it (usually season three BtVS) Yeah, I rewatch the whole thing too! But I just started it for the first time a little over a year ago, so I'm only on my second rewatch. I rarely rewatch eps because they feel so out of place! But I do think S3 of BtVS might be my favorite season. It definitely is of BtVS, anyway.

A few. Whedonverse in general? Inca Mummy Girl comes to mind. I like Inca Mummy Girl! The only thing wrong with it is it doesn't have Angel. It's like an S1 ep, even though it happens in S2--stupid monster, but great character stuff. I love Xander in that ep. I love Xander getting some in that ep (well, a kiss, anyway). I actually liked the Mummy Girl, too; the actress was cute. I liked Willow being jealous, and Buffy dealing with her RL vs. Slaying issues. And first sight of both Johnathan and Oz! yay!

I love it, except that poor Summer's accent is atrocious, and I'm not a big fan of the Angel/Cordy thing. I am thinking of the right ep, right? Yes, right ep. I thought Glau's accent was great, but then I don't know anything about accents. I didn't like the A/C thing first time through, but now that I just rewatched it, I found it...really interesting. For one thing, I feel that the A/C in S3 is forced. There's this whole, Kyrumption, two Champions thing, as if it's something inevitable, rather than free will. WitW is all about free will--and S3&4 are all about free will. I think it's great foreshadowing.

Ugh. I thought she had great potential, but that it was sadly, sadly, sadly squandered. I kind of feel that way, but I guess the potential makes the S3 that happens in my head way cooler.

I'm glad you liked answering the questions--I love seeing what people have to say!
