( Angel the Series Quotes... shutup, I'm with the rewatching and writing down the things I love as I go along. )

The mood swings have moved in. Need caffiene, and possibly more Angel. Season 6 would have been glorious.

David Boreanaz in Season 1 of Buffy is liek, pretty?! That's not my Angel. My Angel looks as if he has lived, my Angel has bulk, he has an intense physical presence (he can so break you in two if you piss him off) that cannot be summarised as "Male Wallflower," which is what he was in S1 of Buffy. Angel, my Angel, the one on ATS is not pretty, he's all the things I said he is and so much more.

... I miss my show.

nekomancy, I need ALL of SG1 and SG:A. Dad is addicted to the series, and I want to watch SG:A, so um, you free sometime this week? (Not Thursday, busy Thursday).

I have been really bad about replying to emails and comments, and my only excuse is, uh, I forgot. No, no, it is the truth, I set aside email/comments that I need to reply to, and then I go off to do something else, and days later I forget. It makes sense. In addition, life have been kind of hectic; work/sleep/stress/alcohol/watching angel when I should be sleeping. It is a vicious cycle I tell you.

More, later.

ETA: Wow. People take being spoiled very seriously. Not that it is a bad thing. Definitely not, it is just that I have nothing against spoilers, I love them so, so, so, so, so much. Hell, I love reading spoilers. So fun. It is just another thing to highlights personal differences in people.

Angel season four. I always forget just how much of a story-arc this season is. One episode after the other to reach the final episode; Home. I adore Connor. Yes, I bought season four of Angel and watched all the episodes I missed from it yesterday. I need to re-watch the whole thing in order at some point in the future. Then, I need to go out and buy season five.

Something I have realised in the past few days, I have a major thing for broken friendships as a result of betrayal, and father issues in stories. You'll be surprised how often the two can be linked together. Mother issues in plots tend to bore me, and I can't decide if it is because I'm female and the whole deal is kind of boring, or if it is because mother/daughter issues are hardly ever depicted as vicious and violent in stories. Judgemental and indifferent; yes, but never the full scale anger/hate/violence that literature/media tend to depict the father/son issues. And it is the latter that is damn fascinating (to me at least). What's interesting about the father-issue stories that gets to me (in a, 'Oh, this is so cool, in a rip-my-heart sort of way,') is that the father does love his son dearly, it is just that circumstances (Anakin turning to the Dark Side, or Connor being completely screwed up in the head because of every other person in his life) that forces the son to have major problems. Based on series of events, father-issues often results in a screaming/death match, which will leave one (most often both of them) in a pit of dark angst, and the other dead/maimed/insert your form of bad.

And yes, by now you should have realised I’m using Star Wars and Angel as prime examples, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other examples of father-issues that ends badly. I just can’t seem to think of any at the present time.

But back to the point; most mother/daughter issues get resolved through some form of ‘soul searching’ or ‘talking’ (screaming match works too), but hardly ever reach the level of violence’ of that of father/son issues. And I find myself being much more affected (emotionally and visually) by the father/son issues. It hit me on a basic level that makes me sit at the edge of my seat, eyes glued to the screen. Damn good drama (or melodrama, depending how you want to interpret it.)

Hmm. Just how differently do the w-media and the j-media depict father/son issues? It is too early for me to think in that direction. Not enough coffee and mind can’t change track.

So, after getting over 11 hours of sleep I feel all sparkly. *sparkles* And since I have been a complete and utter bore for the past few weeks (RL/stress/blah blah) I bring fic recs to everyone. (Even if most…ok, like 99%, of my f-list are not interested in Angel, hell, this can be my own personal reference).

( babble about Connor )

( Angel fic recs - because I have a list that just keep on getting longer and longer. )

Hmm, so what sort of fic recs are people interested in? (I might be able to provide some). I mean, is it just anime/manga fanfics? I find that I’m reading more and more obscure fandom. As side note; some interesting things are happening in the slash, and western-fandoms (television series, and films) that is completely different from anime-fandom.

I have to come into Uni tomorrow and maybe possibly Sunday. There goes my weekend. And all I want to do is buy season 2, 4, and 5 of Angel; marathon it; laugh, cry, and scream in despair, but damn it I want to re-watch Not Fade Away.

I have got to stop re-watching Lullaby; it is the one episode of Angel that's guaranteed to get me bawling my eyes out. The roof top scene between Darla and Angel gets to me every time. Damn inbuilt emotional responses.

Must also stop downloading Angel music vids at Uni, it will only lead to ruins.
