New thread, dudes.

Wanted to bring this over since it was at the tailend of the last thread. I know there's a lot of SoN fans on the board so in case you missed it:

Thanks again for the info, MAKRO.

Thanks for the new thread, Mitch!

Spoiler:

Saw Orpheus last night/early this morning. OMG SO AWESOME. I have such love for Willow, ohmygod. She and Fred bonding *flails to a fangirl death* They were so flirting, but good, Wil kept it from going too far since she's apparently dating someone over on Buffy. Also I totally loved the Willow and Wesley scene even if Alexis and Aly's own chemistry blended into the scene a bit. They have changed so much since season 3 Buffy. Teehee to Willow not coming out to Wesley though I started to think he might realise something when Wil inquired about Fred's story lol.

Oh and I was totally loving the Faith episodes, btw. Very awesome. So good to see Eliza (though the guest star credits spoiled me to her return... I wasn't spoiled for Willow though so yay). I can't wait to catch up to her in Buffy. The brain tour in Orpheus with Angelus was kickass.

Also, loved that Lorne finally got in the credits though I must admit I was worried about it given the whole Amber Benson thing.

4x16 was pretty decent, too, finally the gang knows something's up with Cordy! And wow to Gwen and Gunn! I'm guessing this paves the way to Wesley and Fred knocking boots. Hehe.

Francis Capra (Aka Weevil on Veronica Mars)

I just read the guy's gonna have a new gig come fall. Read what in the spoiler text:

Spoiler:

He's gonna be on Heroes! I'm dying a fangirl death here. Kristen Bell and Francis Capra together again!

buffyannAlex · 06-10-2008, 02:58 AM

That's good news gaby ! Heroes didn't win me over this year so i hope next year is gonne be better.

btw, I don't think it's necessary to put all those spoiler section in your posts about Angel/Buffy, since the show is over now. Since you put the title in bold, everyone who doesn't want to read it can skip it

BepperGirl · 06-10-2008, 10:59 AM

Yep hopefully.

I was just used to putting it in spoilers so Mitch wouldn't accidentally read into it 'cause I wanted her to be pretty unspoiled for it when she got around to watching. Though we do know her memory is pretty weak so...

Michelle, do you have any input?

Awe you're sweet dude. You so love me.

Heh.

I actually like the whiting out if that's ok with my co mod.

I love teasing you, Frenchie. LOL.

I mean I appreciate it but I can also just skip it with the title so once again I give very little input outside of saying Gaby's sweet for thinking of me and yeah I kinda like it this way but either way I'm cool. LOL.

BepperGirl · 06-10-2008, 01:07 PM

I just find it hard to completely skip over stuff. It's sometimes easy when a lot of stuff is presented, but sometimes my eyes do gaze upon certain things when trying to skip over stuff. I don't know, it could just be me though.

buffyannAlex · 06-10-2008, 01:27 PM

oh no, it's hard definitely. I skip over the thread on Lost days to avoid being spoiled.

So leave them if you want

Wilpen · 06-10-2008, 01:41 PM

Yeah totally cool either way. There's my two cents.

buffyannAlex · 06-10-2008, 01:49 PM

What an incredible input Michelle ! your thoughts always amaze me. it's so deep, it's fascinating.

(here, some well deserved teasing)

Gaby, seriously, it's fine. I was saying that because you don't have to feel obligated, but no matter is cool.

**baileycat** · 06-11-2008, 05:51 AM

Long time no visit. I know. Bad Amy. Hey Michelle!

Have you seen the new HP leaked pic? I think you should if you haven't already.

Be prepared to die.

BepperGirl · 06-11-2008, 05:53 AM

Amy, if she hasn't seen it by the time she comes on, surely she will by looking at your icon

And I think I'll continue spoiler taggging. 9 extra characters are no biggie

**The Crow** · 06-11-2008, 07:33 AM

Instant Star

So, I'm flipping through the channels on Monday and I notice that Instant Star is on The-N, and it is a new episode. Not only that, the two episodes after are also new. Then, I check the website, and I realize that somehow, 5 episodes of one of my favorite guilty pleasures have aired without me even being aware that it was back. How did I allow this to happen? Luckily, I caught the end of the mini-marathon, and I saw the episode last night. Now I just have to go to The-N and watch the first two episodes since this is the final season.

One gripe though: Since this is the final season, you'd think they could dial back on the Tommy/Jude drama, but they haven't. Idiots.

Angel

I just like using the spoiler tags myself.

Spoiler:

I really dug the Faith episodes of season 4. Those were pretty sweet, and I loved the Willow episode. Of course, right after there is where I thought the season started losing it a bit, so I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the final episodes. I really liked the finale though.

BepperGirl · 06-11-2008, 08:04 AM

Angel

Alan.

Spoiler:

The obsession with Jasmine is pretty weird. Sucks what happened with Cordy. I don't like it at all. I'm glad I was unspoiled for Darla in 4x17. I loved seeing her again, I'm sad Connor didn't listen to her. I'm also glad Fred's seen the light re: Jasmine. It'll be hard to find people to rally to her cause.

I haven't seen 4x19 and 4x20 yet because I have to finish a draft for a paper in the next seven hours and I can't afford to take about an hour and a half to watch 'em

Should be able to watch after I get back from class tonight, though. Plus by watching them closer to midnight, I will be able to finish off the season closer together. Maybe it'll blend the so-called suck closer together or something like that.

Oh and can anyone confirm for me that there's no season 5 spoilers in the "Spin the Bottle" commentary? A friend wanted me to rewatch that episode with the commentary after I was done with the season, but I think I heard the DVDs were made after the show was completely done, so maybe Joss is saying some season 5 spoilers in the commentary, too. Just want to be safe
