Angel, Angel, Angel

* So, are Steve and Drew Angel/Spike shippers or what? They even had their own song!

* This was beyond wacky. I was pleased.

* Darla and Drusilla in the bath. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That's one to save up to ... think about ... later.

* When Fred's parents showed up and it was clear that they didn't know, I just stopped the tape and the Boy and I stared at each other for about a minute. The *fuck*? No one told them? Did not like this B-plot.

* Andrew and *women*? What's up with that? Were Angel and Spike so gay that they had to turn to Andrew to butch things up? I think I'll assume that they're just pals and they're on their way to a fabulous party where Andrew will meet fabulous boys and completely fail to get off with them.

* Did I mention Angel and Spike had their own song?

* Ah, The Immortal. Suddenly, I want him to cross over into many fandoms. With Bellatrix. With Scully. With Ally McBeal. Oh, oh, oh, with Markus Alexander.

* I kept expecting Angel and Spike to start making out. Am I writing too much fanfic or did it really seem that way?

* And just how does Angel know what The Immortal tastes like?

* I guess the Apocalypse is on hold. But I'm fine with that. Apcalypses are so last year. And the year before that.

* Fave line: "I'd claw my way back from the depths of hell to lay by your side."

* Etc

So true. How could no one tell them? Did they just forget Fred had a family?

* Andrew and *women*? What's up with that?

I so expected a tuxedo-wearing handsome Italian gentleman to be at the door. Women??? No. Just, no. I did love his wacky hair.

"How could no one tell them? Did they just forget Fred had a family?"

Especially since her last words were 'Tell my parents I wasn't scared'...

[prillalar]

I know! Wah!

[prillalar]

I found the Fred sub-plot so painful I almost didn't watch those bits. :(

And Andrew's gayness was *canon*. I guess they never came out and stated it, but oh, it was implied in every way possible. Though I guess the line was about "change". Bah. Andrew's hair is always a delight, though. :)

Man, I was so pissed at that. He's my BOY. MY gay, gay boy.

And Fred--gah. I never liked her, but I'm finding her entire death story fucking *evil* on the part of everyone around her. Ugh.

I can believe it -- who was the one who would tell them?

It should have been Angel's responsibility, since he's the W&H CEO, not to mention the head of the old AI gang -- but Angel, let's face it, even on a good day needs considerable prompting on the finer bits of sensitive human interaction (and Cordy, who in the old days could have been relied upon to give it to him, is dead.) Wesley should have picked up the ball when Angel dropped it -- but Wesley and normal thought processes are not coexisting in the same plane of existence right now. Gunn? Well, aside from the whole crushing guilt thing, there was the in-hospital thing and then the in-suburban-hell thing, and by the time he was out and more or less back on the job he was probably assuming without asking that somebody else (like, say, Angel or Wesley) had passed along the bad news. Lorne? Lorne appears to have slid into the depths of a Seabreeze and not come out again.

That leaves Harmony and Spike, pretty much, and neither of them ever met Fred's parents, or -- presumably -- even heard them mentioned.

So I can pretty much accept that Wes and Angel between them screwed up on the telling-the-family thing.

[prillalar]

Yeah, I guess it's not illogical. Just -- so very, very wrong. *sigh* Just another symptom of the Badness of Things.

jls123 and I decided that the women are lesbians, and Andrew is going with them to the Opera, because he has a big crush on one of the ushers.

[prillalar]

Good theory. :) Andrew looked wonderful!

I was definitely bothered by the "Oh, we didn't tell Fred's parents" thing, too. It made me very squirmy.

More in my own post, soon.

[prillalar]

It made me feel like I didn't even want to watch those bits. I think I did a bit of through-the-fingers watching there.

Andrew and *women*?

That was especially strange coming right after his frow and move on speach. It almost sounded as if going from gay to straight was growing.

And just how does Angel know what The Immortal tastes like?

LOL! That was great. I kept imagining methos as the Immortal. *g*

I got a bit misty eyed watching Spike's coat die, but I laughed myself silly over Angel's new Italian jacket. *eg*

Exactly. I'm all for bisexuality, but the context gave it a an edge I didn't like.
