indriThat, ladies and gentlemen, did not suck. Not in the slightest. I've been disappointed or even disgusted at the last few eps, but this one rocked. When I express annoyance at the clunkiness of some recent story points, it's because I know ME's capable of this.
Very satisfying. And I'm hoping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
azdak agrees because then I can spend the weekend finishing up some fanfic rather writing a review :)
Although, as a brief aside because ofdeborahmm's recent post on AtS Season 5 Spike, I will admit that Slapstick Spike is not my favourite version, although lord knows there is infinite canon backing for this clown. But the ep was desperately not about him so I can live with it, although I had a hope that Spike, of all people, would suggest that maybe rescuing the tortured-daily team member might be a good idea, given his time with the First last year.

Date: 2004-04-24 12:52 am (UTC)I agree with you about Clown!Spike as well (canonical, yes, but not my favourite incarnation), but I did think he probably enjoyed being beaten up by Illyria (the shot of her with her boot on his head made me laugh, because I was thinking 'So is this fourth base, or what?).

Date: 2004-04-24 02:44 am (UTC)Even if you post later, it's a deal :) I'll finish up the piece I've been working on. It's a long weekend, so while I was working today and will be busy for much of tomorrow, I should have Monday at the very least.

Yes, but only because he could punch back. But I live in hope that someday a powerful woman will think of him as more than just a pet.
I'll look forward to your post (as usual). Off to read others' now.
