“No Prometheus-looking motherfucker is coming into my town and offering me a fucking stick! You’re lucky these old fuckers are holding me back, I swear to God!”
I finished the stupid fucking paper that’s been making my life hell (and keeping me off Tumblr) and now I’m back to watching “Angel.”
There was a bit in this episode (5.12) where Cordelia is watching an old TV ad for Angel Investigations with Doyle in it and… I miss him. And his accent.
Lol… “He’s some type of super-soldier, like Steve Rogers or Captain America.” “Steve Rogers *is* Captain America, you 8-ball.”
Angel: So now you’re a Nazi?
Spike: No, I just ate one.
Later:
American sailor: They’re monsters and they’re in the SS.
Angel: Spike’s not in the SS, he just likes the jacket.
Holy shit Angel got turned into a Muppet.
Episode 5.15 was written by Joss and it has his fingerprints all over it.
Spike: If cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?
Wesley: Ah. [Pause] You’ve been yelling at each other for 40 minutes about this.
Spike and Angel: [uncomfortable silence]
Wesley: Do the astronauts have weapons?
Spike and Angel, simultaneously: No.
Fred wants Wesley to read her A Little Princess. That was my mom and my sister’s favorite childhood book.
Ancient powers getting themselves born into the world through female main characters is getting to be a pattern, “Angel.” Maybe change it up?
I thoroughly enjoyed the episode in which Spike and Angel obsess about the fact that Buffy is dating their “nemesis,” The Immortal, who also boned Darla and Drusilla back in the day. And then they sit around claiming to have moved on and then talking about locking her in a box.
A lot of the lines in episode 5.21, “Power Play,” sound like Loki’s lines about power in “The Avengers.” Ants, seeing what real power looks like… Interestingly, though, Joss didn’t write this episode.
Wellp, my idiosyncratic favorite character didn’t die this time. Oddly, the situation is exactly reversed from the series finale of “Buffy” in that respect…
From Daniel Jacobson (1997), “In Praise of Immoral Art” (Philosophical Topics, Vol. 25, No. 1), pp. 163-5:
Teaching on the relationship between aesthetic and moral value, I am often reminded of Tumblr antis… and also just standard Tumblr social justice-oriented evaluations of media. Jacobson does not spare the moralist Left (p. 160):
Now, I’m not saying that a work’s moral content is irrelevant to its value, including its aesthetic value, and neither is Jacobson. But let’s not make that all we care about; and let’s also pay attention to the implicit stance of the work, which may not endorse everything it depicts… including who fares well and badly in the end. Let’s not force creators, even creators of pop culture, to tailor their work to the worst interpreters in the audience.
