Watching Angel

[mac_stone]

 Heh. Netflix has all the seasons of Angel - which I've not seen, but tnh  says is better than Buffy in many ways. And I don't have to wait for the DVDs, because they've got 'em streaming!

I'm sort of excited, and suspect I'll be talking about it a lot in the coming weeks. The Tor.com rewatch/reread posts--about everything from Star Trek TOS to Jordan's Wheel of Time books--have me itching to write about pop culture stuff, too, even though it's not properly a rewatch since I've never seen 'em.

Thoughts, recommendations, advice? Please, please tell me I don't have to watch the sixth and seventh seasons of Buffy again, unless it's absolutely crucial to continuity or mythology?

This suggests the problem is one of getting a set of comics to you, rather than one of you thinking this is a bad idea.

That, and I haven't given up hope on tnh's re-read, either -- has she said somewhere she's for-sure bailing on it?

[avocadovpx.livejournal.com]

No, or at least I haven't seen a surrender.

Which do you think would be more effective on her in October, bribery or begging?

[mac-stone.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think we should use the two-pronged approach, with liberal applications of both techniques as seems necessary.

Offer a series of bribes for each delivery.

And I've never read any Sandman.

"has she said somewhere she's for-sure bailing on it?"

She most certainly has not. There's been some "life" stuff in the way. Tor.com management has taken the position that WE WILL WAIT FOR THE AWESOME.

I'm currently introducing my twins to Angel, and it's soo much fun to see them gasp and squeal. It would be even more fun if there was tnh AWESOME to follow!
