Re: Re: 'Angel' Discussion

if a welcome mat is all they need do the owners of the
house have to put it there?  I'm guessing so because
for the invite to work they need to live there.  And
I'm guessing it's the words that matter, not the
intent...could be wrong though. well...when you think someone is hot or the emotions are going sometimes you don't notice those things. But he spider sense SHOULD have been tingling long 
before, unless she counted those as lust senses or
something (I know...not something I want to think
about either). The thing about the crucifix in his chest is that it's just an impression, it's not an actual crucifix. I think that's the difference. 
wiffiness examined
 I have no idea what OOC means...could someone
clarify *feels like an idiot*  and about the snap,
it's more smartass which is something our group of
scoobies excels at (willow less so, but still
sarcastic).

General Stuff:

The invitation rule thing.  The vamp stuck his hand
in through the open door to prevent Buffy from
closing it.  But Buffy had said a general "get in"
before then so that could count as an invite.  It
wasn't verbally directed at him, but it was intended
to be just Angel.  Does the intent count or just the
words?  One fic suggested that a simple welcome mat
might suffice to allow vampire entry but that's not
canon.  Very questionable vamp behavior either way.

For the creep factor, Angel's a vampire--an animated
corpse.  Shouldn't Buffy notice that the wound she's
bandaging doesn't have blood flowing?  That the
flesh is cold to the touch?  That the thing she's
snogging is room temperature?  By god, Giles was
right!  She really, *really* needs to learn to hone.
 I mean, come on Buffy!  Wake up and smell the
walking corpse!

*shudder*

Sorry, but it really bothers me.  I'm kinda with
Xander on this, vampires are for slaying, not for
smooching.

I have a general beef with a scene in this episode
that's also duplicated in many vampire movies as
well.  Angel gets burned by a crucifix that leaves a
burn in the shape of a crucifix.  Why doesn't that
crucifix scar continue to burn the vampire?  It's a
freakin' cross, burned right in!  A cross burns
vampires, right?  Well, there's one right there on
his chest!  It ought to keep on burning.  That's my
two cents, anyway.



Wiffy Stuff:

Check out this exchange in the very beginning of the
episode.

     (Written by David Greenwalt)

     Willow:  So, we're talking about a guy?

     Buffy:   Not exactly a guy.  For us to have a
              conversation about a guy, there'd have
              to be a guy for us to have a
conversation
              about.  Is that a sentence?

     Willow:  You lack a guy.

     Buffy:   I do.  Which is fine with me, most of
              the time, but...

I mean, wow!  The subtext is so wonderfully close to
being main text, right there.  What is 'not exactly
a guy' if not a girl?  She doesn't know Angel's a
vampire yet, so she can't be referring to that.  It
really sounds like the start of a self-outing.  Her
love interest is 'not exactly a guy' and the 'lack
of guy' is fine with her.  Hmm.  Damn, that's so
close to what we want!  Prime for a Wiffy
reinterpretation in a fic.

When Buffy asks if a vampire could be good, Giles
gives a long speech about why it couldn't happen. Willow sarcastically snaps, "So that'd be a no, 
huh?"  It's so OOC for her to snap at Giles--one of
her many canon crushes.  Obviously there's something
more there.  What could have been upsetting our
young hacker?  The Buffy/Angel kissage, perhaps?

Perhaps not.  In the final Bronze scene, Willow has
a happy smile on her face as she watches Buffy and
Angel kiss.  Is she just getting her vicarious
smoochies?  Or is she imagining that she's the one
kissing Buffy?  You decide.



Wiffy Fic Possibilities:

Buffy is willing to spend long hours in the library,
alone with Willow, under the pretext of studying. What could happen between our girls late at 
night...all alone...

Buffy could, quite wisely, choose not to pursue the
vampire.  At the end, she could tell him that she
can't be with him, then go cry on Willow.  Smoochies
to follow.
Well, the commentary track should be up shortly. Hope you enjoy it when you get it. 

Your fellow 'shipper,
Howard
