Responses to yesterday's rant posted on yesterday's rant page. You guys rock. I've been thinking that the Buffy Squatters should have little identifying badges, you know? Proclaiming: 'I STILL LOVE JOSS AND I'M PROUD!'

So, uhm. Take one of these if you so wish. 

MMM Angel -Inspired by the Fates on Angel and their unwavering affection for the big, occasinally stupid stud.

Still Buff!- Inspired by the girl-hero who is as much girl as hero.

See?  This is why I don't get deep into fandom.  Are people really screaming over "Normal Again", that utterly FANTASTIC episode?  I don't get it, and maybe it's because I started watching in S4, and only saw the older stuff all out-of-order from my friend's tapes, and there is still a whole section of the Faith arc that I've not seen (I know!  Me!  I know!), but I certainly don't revere S1-3 as "the best".  Can we say "Puppet Show"? 

It sounds like what happens in any fandom for a show that's been around.  Hell, I saw it in L&C, and that show was only on for four years.  The series takes a new direction (or, as in the case of Buffy, a deeper direction) and people jump ship, and lament that it's lost that something that they can't put into words, but it was great, and whatever, but they still watch.  Whatever - grow the fuck up.  Shows grow, and if it's a well-written show, the characters grow and change.  And wouldn't it be boring if it was any other way?  The Big Bads the last two years weren't terrible, but they weren't fabulous - but this year's Big Bad  is marvelous.  Buffy's detachment and emotional instability (yes, the two can co-exist)is a worse enemy than the Scoobs have ever faced, and I for one am holding my breath until the next episode.

(And yeah, I watch SV, but is it a great show?  Hell no.  Acting?  Barely there, (Tom Welling, I'm talking to you.  And you too, Kristen Kreuk.), the writing is only just now getting out of the "oh no, meteor rocks!" crap.  I watch it because Lex is sexy as hell, and I love the slashy undertones between Clark and him.  And because my best friend is a Superman freak.  Better than Buffy?  Not on Buffy's worst day.)

In other news... you rock.

That is all.

Coming tomorrow, a rant by my ficbitch (who SHOULD BE HERE NOW GODAMNIT! *whimpers*) on When Conventional Shippers Go Bad, or the Evils of the One True Ship. Inspired 'cause apparantly, the list and archive Yahtzee and I run is in actuality, a thinly veiled attempt to take over the entire C/A-ship and turn it toward the wicked darkness that is angst fic, slash-acceptance and actual decent writing! Damn us and our facist ways! That's just plain nuts. I mean, as Yahtzee clearly stated on the Stranger Things Posting Board, she is way too busy in Afghanistan, and my time has been completely swallowed by masterminding the entire Enron debacle. 

Snark at me, I love it
