to think Angel was a bit of a skeaze?

Am frittering away my afternoon re-watching Buffy, which I used to love. And as I’m watching, I’m realising that I am seeing a man who is 250 years old climbing in the window of a 16 year old girl in the middle of the night, and I’m thinking that’s pretty grim. She has teddy bears on her bed.

Did anyone watch Dollhouse? I liked that more than firefly tbh.

Bahlindah · 03/09/2019 17:53

It was Fred and Wes, not Giles.

Soubriquet · 03/09/2019 17:55

Yes I loved dollhouse! And firefly

It was a shame both were cancelled

Aderyn19 · 03/09/2019 17:58

I missed Dollhouse when it was new but binge watched it on lovefilm (remember that?). You can tell they rushed the end, but it was such a good story.

omg @Icantreachthepretzels I will fight you! Grin

PeterGriffinsPenisBeaker · 03/09/2019 18:18

Always slightly in love with Riley Finn but would definitely jump Giles. Other than that, Spike would do Grin

Captain Cardboard?
The enormous hall monitor?

I think that may count as an actual illness. we'll send help Grin

I, er, 'brushed' past A.S.H. in a theatre bar during the interval once. He smells delicious

what an absolute sleaze David Boreanaz turned out to be in real life...

Wha.a.a.t? :(

herculepoirot2 · 03/09/2019 18:33

I might just jump ahead to OMWF this evening, just to give myself a treat.

Definitely! But it's also super weird to have teddys at 16 😳

Icantreachthepretzels · 03/09/2019 18:37

I love the kiss at the end of OMWF ... but then I hate the way Spike treats her for the next ... well, until he gets his soul. Early s6 spuffy is the best spuffy.
'every night I save you,' - oh my heart!

Biancadelrioisback · 03/09/2019 18:37

Can we just talk about Doyle for a moment though? 💔

Icantreachthepretzels · 03/09/2019 18:41

Not really. It's specifically Mr. Gordo. I still have one teddy and I'm over twice her age, I'll have him til I die - he's the special one. (actually I have quite a few because people give them as cheap tat gifts and I'm too much of a softie to throw them away. But for that I blame Janet and Alan Ahlberg and 'the bear nobody wanted')

Petrichor11 · 03/09/2019 18:43

I was never a fan of Angel tbh. He’s just the Edward Cullen of the 90s really all brooding and troubled and deeply problematic!

Icantreachthepretzels · 03/09/2019 18:44

@Biancadelrioisback - I could spend my whole life talking about Doyle. It's 20 years this November since the first airing of 'Hero' - still not over it. Still don't accept it. I spent the whole of the next episode waiting for him to come back. Part of me is still waiting for him to come back - despite it being 15 years since the show went off air and 17 years since the actor died. Doyle was wonderful.

PeevedNiamh · 03/09/2019 18:48

YANBU and I loved Buffyverse. Obsessively. But definitely worrying! I was 100% a Spike fan til that bathroom scene which was sad. Until then all my, let's call them daydreams 😂😂, had been about Spike 😁

PeevedNiamh · 03/09/2019 18:49

juells no I have to Google 😭

Aderyn19 · 03/09/2019 18:55

Great posts pretzels

Maria53 · 03/09/2019 19:06

Actually I think I've just had an epiphany about why I'm drawn to brooding troubled men from time to time, LOL

CrunchyCrumpet · 03/09/2019 19:06

I found this beauty from my teens, I didn't have the heart to get rid of it as he was just so beautiful Grin

I meant Wes sorry Bahlindah I've been looking after a sick relative all week so excuse my brain.

BogglesGoggles · 03/09/2019 19:49

I really want a buffy remake - can we petition Netflix?

WhoLetTheFrogsOut · 03/09/2019 19:52

I always thought the same of Dirty Dancing. A clearly 35yo guy creeping on a minor still at school.

NerrSnerr · 03/09/2019 19:57

We are rewatching at the moment (on the final series of Angel). I love Giles and Spike, I often try to decide who I'd want to do more but I can't. I feel gutted for Anya in the last episode.

I can take or leave Angel. I love that Cordie went over to Angel and love the improved Wesley.
