RIP. That's just terrible news. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=30220 > *

Joss said it somewhere, but basically from 7-22 it is all over a very short period of time. Hell, the Jasmine stuff doesn't even take a couple of days. EDIT: Actually, Fred running away and coming back for Angel

Buffy: 3 5 2 4 1 6 7 Angel: 5 4 3 2 1

Why didn't he call Buffy? Why didn't Buffy call Angel to fight Adam? Why didn't Buffy call Angel to fight Glory? The First? They're two different people now, they've grown, and they have different priorities and groups to fight with. Also, season 4 as a whole takes about 2 weeks in show-time. As far as no good character development, say WHAT? It's chock full of character development. Gunn's quest to be more than muscle, Wesley re-joining the group and all the tensions, Connor and Angel's quests for family. Tons of stuff.

I've heard all the Spuffy/Bangel/Cangel/whatever crap. I don't like it. Is it that hard to say Spike/Buffy?

I haven't seen any 24.

Okay, just got back from Mr. 3000 and I thought it was really funny. Not as funny as Dodgeball or Anchorman, but still a good movie. Bernie Mac had great timing and was very believable as Stan Ross. I also really liked the ending (the game, not the voice over which I felt was a bit too cheesy). Anyone else see it?

I think both could be the theme. Free will/choice is first brought to the forefront with the Las Vegas episode with the losing their destinies plot. It is also shown all throughout the season, not just with Jasmine but with Gunn killing Seidel, Gwen's actions, and stuff like bringing back Angelus because they don't think the Powers will help them. But, Family could be a theme too. All of Cordelia's talk to Connor about them being a family leads heavily into Home. At the start of the season, they are a fractured family and it is brought up many times. I think Free will/choice is the main theme, but family is also a theme (secondary) that has a case that could be made for it being the main theme.

Well damn...still, great game, exciting all the way through. Finish was very nailbiting, but Canada held on. Good for them.

Ha ha~! Yes! Finland ties it up! 1-1!

Are we still using spoiler tags? 1-0 Canada 52 seconds in already. Damn.

3-2 Fins, I think. Koivu with the winner.

As far as when the NHL starts up again, I'll watch on TV and pay attention to it, but live games are pretty much a no for a while. I am so angered by this strike. They are making MILLIONS A YEAR. They had TEN YEARS to work out a new agreement, one they could agree with. A day before the last and they aren't meeting? This is just angering me beyond belief.

So I just finished Home and am now done watching season 4 straight through. Kick ass season, my favorite one of Angel (may change when I see season 5 again). Only complaint: so much stuff in there that Jasmine didn't get a long enough run. 30 minutes into her first episode, Fred learns she is evil. Still, kick ass stuff. Now for COMMENTARIES~!

Thanks for a great season 6, Marti. I'll pass.

Buffy being depressed was a horrible arc. "I was dead, now I'm back, now I have so many responsibilities, oh my life sucks, SPIKE IS GOD FANS MUST LOVE HIM SPIKE IS GREAT, oh no Spike almost raped me, now Willow is evil, hey I'm better." GREAT stuff.

I'm through Inside Out, so just starting the actual Jasmine arc. Incredible season, even better on DVD really. I don't like Evil Cordy, but she didn't seem as annoying as she did last time I watched season 4. I love this.

I actually just got back from my Wal-Mart with several WWE DVD's. Survivor Series 2002 and Judgment Day 2002 for 9.99 each and the Chris Benoit DVD for 19.99. They also had a bunch of VHS's that I already had for 4.99, like Royal Rumble 03 and No Way Out 03. Canadian prices, and probably just my Wal-Mart, but still - good enough deal.

I'm 8 episodes in on Angel season 4. A kick ass start to a kick ass season. Although am I the only one who doesn't like the Wes has his own gang? Just doesn't seem to fit well. Just a minor thing, though.

Firefly is on the line because of its short run, but Buffy and Angel definitely have to be up there. Why don't you think they should be considered 3 of the best?
