kennahijjaI had a nice, hot weekend (and we're talking hot in the temperature department) baking cookies for my dad's birthday tomorrow and watching ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hummelchen's collected edition of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Two - first time in the English version. It's much more fun, really, after the initial one or two episodes to get used to the differnet voices.
The second half of Season Two is still my top favourite of the whole series. And even after all this time it still baffles me how 'good' Angel can be such a downright annoying character, played by such a mediocre actor (yep, I do notice the inverted correspondence between acting ability and clothes worn), and yet 'evil' *Angelus*, played by the very same actor, is somehow the scariest thing imaginable... *brrr*.
We'll switch back to HP proper next post ;).
And where did those bloody six moskito bites on my arms come from? Bloody bastards! Well, either that, or Hexe's picked up fleas... But I doubt it - I'm the only one scratching.

Nice icon, btw - that's another actor I find totally 'eww!' in photography (though that one's fun) and excellent on screen... weird.

Date: 2006-07-19 12:27 pm (UTC)The urge to club over the head would first appear in season four with Riley.

Not in the sense of lusting after him, just... *there* is a villain who's totally likable and hysterical while still being dangerous. His 'relationship' with Buffy's mom, for example ;).
