hp100 Crossover challenge. Box, Opened -- crossover with Adrian Mole.

Monday Night TV for the first time in three weeks. (And no D. next week either-- this is seriously throwing off my routine!)
Now that we're back into the regular TV season, we're re-watching the current Angel eps as well. I won't comment on them except to say: how did I miss Lorne's "Depp and Bloom" remark the first time around?
But that didn't leave much time for other things.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
Faith goes good only she's not. Angel goes evil only he's not. Buffy goes moody and boy is she ever. I'm not fond of this episode because of the big POV cheat -- Buffy is our POV character and she knows all along that this is a fake-out, but we don't. But I always love the scene where Angel punches Xander in the face. Just because we know that Angel really enjoyed it.
X-Files: The Erlenmeyer Flask
Green alien blood goodness! I feel like I'm discovering the X-Files all over again now -- I was shocked when I saw those first few drops of toxic alien blood. This is also a good episode for Stupid Mulder Moments. Not only does he drop his gun, but he breaks into the house of a scientist who has been murdered by persons unknown and then uses the scientist's phone to make calls back to the FBI. He also completely fails to notice the van that pulls up outside, even though we can clearly hear it in the soundtrack. At first I thought he'd ordered a pizza. Plus why does Mulder not carry a camera? He finds that whole warehouse full of alien clones and he can't even snap a Polaroid.
Also: we were cheated out of the scene where Skinner calls Mulder into his office at night to tell him that the X-Files division is closed and then has angry sex with him on the conference table.
Bonus! This wasn't an official part of Monday Night TV, but we did catch about two-thirds of
Star Trek: TOS: Space Seed
Khan! When I tuned in, he was lying in a hospital bed, his manly man cleavage well in evidence. Khan! I said. Khan! Kirk walks in and Khan says, Ah, Captain, I am far more manly than you. Kirk concedes the point, but grudgingly. Later, Khan takes over the ship and puts Kirk into the Large Load Washer in the laundry. Kirk escapes before the spin cycle and fights Khan in Engineering, which has a large open space for sparring. Kirk wins, but only because he cravenly beats Khan with a big piece of some vital instrumentation that he pulls out of a panel.
But Kirk realises that Khan is too manly to be confined by Kirk, so they let him go on a planet. We snicker the whole way through their speculation about going back in a hundred years to see how Khan and his followers have made out.
I must look up some Kirk/Khan slash. There was one moment in their fight when Khan pushes Kirk face first into the wall. Give it to him, Khan, I said. God, I wish he had.

Ah, you see the version they showed here did have that scene in... La la la.
I always love the scene where Angel punches Xander in the face.
I love this bit too, Angel and Faith are totally in step. They stride up the street in dark/hottie mode, and Xander comes wibbling in, like a particle to their waveform. WHAP! Without breaking stride.
Angel: That guy just bugs me.
Faith: Tiny nod of acknowledgement.
Perfection.

Yeah, I hear you got *all* the M/Sk sex scenes. *g*

I melt for Khan, all over that action like a red-dressed bootclad bimbo of a yeoman...

And I still maintain that Buffy and Angel only came up with their plan after she goes to see him when Willow tells her to. Thereby making her pain in the talk with Willow real. I have to believe this because that conversation is just too sweet.
Enemies is one of my favourite episodes ever, if only because of just how damn sexy Angel and Faith look when they're evil. Mmmmm.

That would be good -- less of a cheat. And really, even with the plan, she was upset about Faith and Angel anyhow.

Oh - oh - and Erlenmeyer Flask: It never ceases to astound me that Mulder is always without whatever important proof-making material he would need to crack open the Truth. It's a special talent for him - still, one of my favorite episodes, even without the conference table sex. And are you watching Mitch on the WB's Tarzan? I like to pretend that whatever character he plays is really Skinner, who ran away from the FBI, turned evil, and now hunts his wild nephew so he can gain control of multi-million dollar company - and then free Mulder from hiding and they can take over Greystoke together.
Cheers for your Kirk/Khan recap - I love Khan! I love the way the two of them just stick out their chests and glare at each other. Yes, you two, come on, you know you want to...
Finally, I missed the Depp and Bloom comment the first time around, too! How hilarious was that? It ranks right up there with "Captain Forehead." Are you a big Angel fan? I'm relatively new - I started watching seriously when Connor and Cordy got their icky groove going, and despite that, I'm now a devotee.

I watched the first ep but missed the second -- I have to watch it while taping Stargate off another channel and I forgot last Saturday.
I like your idea! You should write a fic about that. :) What will happen to Scully?

I've been watching since the beginning -- I love the show. Have you been able to go back and see the old episodes?
