Dear Mr. Whedon,

I am annoyed. *You* are annoying me. I have decided, despite it being only 1/3 of the way through the season, that I do NOT like Spike on Angel. I *really* do NOT like Mercedes McNab replacing Charisma Carpenter. I do *NOT* like Eve, despite the events of 'Destiny', and I *really* do NOT like Sarah Thompson replacing Stephanie Romanov.

I really hope that you're planning to make up for all of this BIG TIME because I have issues with you. I *really* don't appreciate you replacing kick-ass female characters with simpering boneheads. I don't appreciate you turning this into the Angel/Spike we've-had-beef-for-centuries show. Again, you'd best to make things better. And I don't just mean reversing the mindwipe. I mean giving Gunn back his juevos and a storyline. Brief kudos for the fineness of J.August Richards in a suit, something you really have nothing to do with, and the sexay legalese. However, the whole promised potential crap that we've has gotten us NOWHERE. I want the return of Fred who dallies with the dark side of the force and I want Wesley over this stupid, stupid schoolboy crush.

You Are Killing Me. And no matter what, I still may not forgive you for Cordy and Lorne.

Now, listen up. I'm down to three hours of pre-determined television programming: Angel, Enterprise and ER. Don't let's make it two, and you know what? I've heard an awful lot of good things about Jake 2.0.

Just sharing my concerns. I hope we understand each other. Now, I'm in your hands. Don't disappoint me.

Sincerely,
A much beleaguered Me

Got five minutes.

Just want to say *big sigh* perhaps it'll all look good when the season is over and it can be taken as a whole ... well, I always hope.

I am not liking the (wimpy) female component, such as it is. I do miss Cordelia even if I haven't yet seen most seasons of AtS. Her presence must have made a huge difference.

Have a good Sunday ... gotta go now.

In perspective I definitly believe that everything will make sense at season's close. That's typically how these things go. I also tend to really hate when people just spit hatred before anything's been resolved but I was reading some articles on Charisma Carpenter leaving the show and just got seriously annoyed. JW's comments on it were just rather lame. Can't get behind the decision and nothing he's shown us from the start of this season has proven the decision to be a wise one.

Anyway, it'll all come out in the wash.

With you all the way, darling. Ugh.

I certainly hope everything will look better and make more sense by the end of the season, but I don't understand why ME can't set up things for later in the season AND produce good episodes now. That used to be the way of things, more often than not. Power-balance-rearranging and foreshadowing are not incompatible with good dialogue, strong characters, and plots that make sense.

Congrats on getting the first draft of your thesis done, by the way! You rock. :)

Bingo! I always wish that I could have seen Joss shows as imagined by David Kemper. Barring Season 4, which I haven't seen the total of, there just seemed to be fewer continuity errors and an larger percentage of excellence stand-alone type eps that ultimately tied everything together.

And thanks for the shout out! I can't believe I'm nearly done!! By this time next month I'll be officially done witht he master's program. WOW!

Well, I can now promise that Sarah Thompson is a thing of the past. She's got a new show.

I can't quite promise Stephanie Romanov...but um. Given this episode's serious visual cues AND Sarah Thompson leaving the show, I can come as close to promising as is humanly possible for random spec girl and not a member of the ME team. She will come back and kick Angel in his fat ass, mock Spike's hair, and just imagine...if she was Eve? She totally did Angel. Imagine Angel's expression realizing that not only did he bang someone doggy-style during his Halloween-party, that person was Lilah.

Now imagine the look of glorious sexy glee on Stephanie's face when she and David do that scene.

[seraphcelene]

I really just laughed my ass off because, dude! Yo, Lilah and Angel and the expression on his face. Lilah mocking Spike. What fun there is to be had.

And Lilah! Man, Lilah!

Dude, it is the happiest thought of all. Well, okay, the happiest thought of all is if Eve/Lilah bangs Spike, too, and then Buffy finds out? Because a Buffy vs. Lilah smackdown would be The Greatest Thing of All Time.
