Rather annoyed at Salon's little write up on Angel ...

Wesley is the poor man's Giles?! What? Has Laura Miller not watched, oh.... anything past Buffy S3?

And I also have quibbles with the idea that the show has to be just like Buffy to be good, speaking as someone who really enjoyed the noir-ness and the darkness and the less-quippy atmosphere along with Buffy...

Yo, I totally just said that. Except with more words and much, much more grouchiness.

I read yours right after I posted mine, heh..

Ugh. I like Stephanie Zacharek's articles on Buffy much more, but then, she might be one of the Buffy be-all-end-all who thinks Angel should be just like it.

Hmm. If I want to watch Buffy, then I'd watch one of the episodes from the seven different seasons. I would not watch Angel in order to watch Buffy. Does she not grasp that different shows have different vibes and that this is a good thing?

*pets pretty, dark Angel*

Truly. It's like what someone wrote about people reading Harry Potter and saying it wasn't like LotR:

"This cat! It is not a cheesecake!"

Hee!

Actually, in that case, it's more like saying - "This tasty cheesecake shaped like a cat isn't meowing. It's broken." But a cheesecat doesn't need to meow.

Okay, wow, I've officially entered the land of the absurd.

*giggles*

It's ok.. Before reading your last sentence I was about to go into some extended analogy as to the baker of the cheesecake who went on to grilling steaks and I think it is probably best that I was stopped ;).

I'm still stuck on the fact that I actually wrote "a cheesecat doesn't need to meow". That's either really deep, really silly, or really both.

Hee.
