Chosen

Diana and I finished watching all of Buffy the other night and had watched Angel all the way through just before that. Although she did it mostly to make me happy I think she enjoyed it and really liked a couple of characters. We originally started watching Angel because I was trying to get her into Buffy and the Jossverse in general, but she just didn't care for the character of Buffy in general. Not wanting to give up I suggested that we should watch Angel, because she really liked that character and it's just as good in overall quality. In between Buffy and Angel we also watched Firefly and Serenity for a break, which was nice. Watching Buffy and Angel been such a regular thing for us for the past several months that I'm not sure what's going to take it's place, but we'll find something, maybe even get into some shows that I haven't been interested in.

Wolves At The Gate #1

Happy B Day everybody. Issue 12 starts off a new story arc written by former Buffy scribe Drew Goddard. I'd say it was a pretty good read. Some things were surprising and some weren't. I liked Xander's "Merciful Zeus!" exclamation from OMWF, actually, that whole was hilarious. I guess I thought I'd have more to say about it when I started writing this, so much for my career as a comic reviewer.

The Long Way Home

I finally got the trade paperback for the first Buffy Season 8 arc titled, The Long Way Home, and reading it all over again was even better than reading it the first time. Yeah, I've got all the single issues, but I didn't wanna take them out of their shrine to reread them. There were a couple things that I didn't realize at the time or just plain forgot, b/c they did start coming out a year ago. One thing was that Buffy thought Twilight's symbol was "a beautiful sunset" and issue #11 where she actually fought Twilight was called A Beautiful Sunset. Also in issue #11 they reveal that Satsu was the one that gave Buffy the kiss of true love; however, when Buffy wakes up she says she has a funny feeling on her mouth and then yells "Cinnamon buns" when she wakes up. In the next issue she points out that Satsu's lip gloss is cinnamon flavored, reveal much? Anyway, I just thought I'd blog about that b/c Season 8 is the greatest thing ever and I loved rereading all of it, instead of doing my homework, of course.
