Buffy vs. Angel. It turns out the poster several weeks ago is wrong about the Principle at Buffy's school trying to remove Buffy to make room for evil. He wasn't a supernatural threat at all, just an a*****e deliberately flouting federal law and inviting lawsuits. O.o
I'm liking the Buffy in college eps better already, though I loved the high school graduation finale with them organizing the senior class into an army. I loved particularly the random shot of the openly gay jock tackling a vampire. You go boy. That was the most emotionally satisfying show I'd seen on there in ages.
I caught a few angels this week, significantly further along than the first season ones. They are way better than I was expecting from the earlier samples, though I'm still not entirely sold. I think my essential problem is that Angel is a character essentially in stasis. he can't really change or progress much and it makes him a little dull. There is only so much emo I can watch really. The supporting characters are pretty much carrying things, I think.
I have a question. I was able to pick up most of Connor's back story, but I was wondering how he got brain damaged. I'm assuming it's some sort of brain damage, because it's the only reason i can see for them not snarking at him for being deliberately stupid and selfish to the point where he'd rather let the world be destroyed than grow up. When Cordelia acted that sort of stupid and selfish, they always snarked at her and called her on it on Buffy and early Angel. the only reason i could imagine for them coddling someone that dangerous is that there must be something seriously wrong with his frontal cortex, preventing him from doing any sort of higher order thinking. This would also explain his behavior. So how did he get hurt?
