Er, Okay, well, I'll stop, then. Besides, I've now read up to date, finished off Stardust (save for tweaking) and so am feeling a bit smug now. Well, going back to work tomorrow will put paid to that.
I walked around the large paragraph about the Osterhagen key, examined it closely, but having gone back to being Not Awake, I couldn't quite penetrate its depths, but, yes, post it. I'm sure people will be interested. :lol:
Buffy is the only TV show I know with that rare thing, a positive depiction of a librarian. (Giles librarian-snark is awesome - on pupils borrowing books: "I thought that was a myth." and the difference between retail and libraries?: "It's exactly the same, except in this case people pay for the things they don't bring back." :lol:) I have to be supportive. (I can only think of four others and 2 of them are from children's books. Librarianism is, believe me, alive and well. As in "She looked like a librarian." "Despite being a librarian, he was actually quite interesting..." *bangs head on desk very hard*). And Angel, aside from going to hell after a bit, had demon karaoke. (There are not many tragic, brooding vampires who keep having to confess to liking Barry Manilow... :lol:) Plus, I liked the 'battling the evil inherent in yourself and in society' thing that lay behind it. Before they decided just to go to hell, it really had something there, but there you go. Buffy gets bogged down with the teen angst and both fall to the curse of the Story Arc. But, yeah. the ripping off was scarily blatant in the first eps. I've never seen quite such a shameless example. (And now that I think of it, even in S2, the Owen being not quite dead, especially when death comes to get him, is almost exactly what happens to Spike, too.)
Oh, I was going to shut up. Sorry. I got sidetracked onto librarians. (I wonder how thin this comment will be? How thin can it get before it's a letter at a time?)
