Angel

[oyceter]

Filler! But fun filler. I think I would have had more fun if the constant countdown of Angel episodes left hadn't been running in the back of my head.

And while I enjoyed the wacky hijinks of the Spike and Angel show (particularly Angel's cookie rant, which was perfect), Wes and Illyria...

GUH.

It's so wrong and so twisted, and the look on Wes' face when she walks through the door as Fred... just small things, little modulations in his voice. I can't believe they didn't tell her parents!

And I've said it before, but Amy Acker is absolutely amazing, the way she was switching from Illyria to Fred at the drop of a hat. I particularly liked watching the Fred expression melt off her face, and the strangeness of Illyria-body-language in the Fred body.

Nothing more to say. Sigh. I want a giant, kick-ass, mind-blowing finale, and I'm not quite sure I'm going to get it =(.

Actually, I am still trusting the ME team, but this super filler episode right after last week's move-the-pieces-around episode didn't help.

Also: Guy Gavriel Kay has a new book out!!

My general feeling about this is: why didn't anyone tell me?! Not that anyone would have known to ;).

ACK - news to me as well!

A new GGK book? I didn't hear anything about it either. Sheesh - this aithor is so underrated! It always amazes me. Know any details about the new one?

I didn't know either?

And thanks!!

Sorry! If I'd known, I would have told you. Maybe you can supply me with a complete list of authors to keep you updated on? ;)

It's the first book in a two-book series, I'm told; most people seem happy with it. In the same world as Lions and Sarantium, but as usual in a different time and place.

I'm holding off because he's not a buy-in-hardcover for me, especially when it's going to be a cliffhanger, although at some point maybe I'll get to a library.

Wasn't it just incredible? Amy impressing me more than I ever thought possible with her acting talent.

And, yeah, fun filler sums it up. I like it, but would have loved it a lot more were it not the third last episode ever...
