salienne[As of season 3]
I'm feeling much better about sort of picking and choosing my canon now in the sense of letting certain episodes/scenes just... become very vague in my mind. This decision has been brought to you by the following terrible terrible piece of dialogue (just the last two lines):
Buffy: I know that. It's not even a question of that. It's just, after ... I need a little bit of a break. Please.
Angel: You still my girl?
Buffy: Always.
Just... really? Since when in the hell does Angel talk like that? And could it be any more inappropriate in tone?
Honestly, I'm just convinced that half the writers didn't know what the hell to do with Buffy and Angel. Angelus, sure, he's easy, he's being cruel and evil and torturing her (speaking of, anyone else think Angelus/Master would be fun?). And when Buffy's away from him, other life and the occasional angst. Even apocalypses follow a certain script.
I know I complain about this a lot, but just for once, I'd like to see them have an actual conversation rather than *angst* and make-out (I had this problem with season 2, too). I want to see what Angel does and doesn't tell her about his past and his feelings, rather than the occasional Buffy info-dump. I have the same problem with Cordelia/Xander and, to an extent, Willow/Oz. It's like the friends I used to have who would spend hours on the phone with one another doing nothing but saying "I love you" over and over.
That's not a relationship. That's a tape recorder.
Bleh. After "Becoming" (I and II) and "Amends", the writing on this front is just disappointing, guys. Especially since Angel's character is pretty much "Love Buffy, be a sad door mat."
