    Twenty years?! Can't be. 1997 was last week!

    Still love Buffy though.

    Buffy and Angel were my life!! 20 years though, that seems so weird to say. Doesn't feel like 20 years!

    it really doesn't! although that may because I watched Angel for the first time last year.

    When watching Buffy, I hated Angel so never watched the series. Last year it was awesome to go back to that world and see episodes I hadn't seen.

    So which episode would you pick for general awesomeness?

    I honestly can't believe there is anyone out there who would hate on Angel :smiley: Did the TV show help change your mind about his character? :smile:

    :smiley: The one that he won me over with was this: "We like to talk big... vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world." That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I _like_ this world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester united. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Good-bye, Picadilly. Farewell, Leicester-bloody-Square."

    And suddenly it dawns on me that Joss Whedon has probably read Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

    resurrecting this to show off my outfit for the Buffy shindig - totally called the votes. Hush and Once more with Feeling were shown.
    Bit disappointed in the quiz - people were on their phones for the answers! Fake fans!! and not enough about the actual series. More along the lines of, 'who was first offered the role of Xander'....meh

    but I was well chuffed with my outfit :D (despite being the only one 'dressed up' :neutral: )

    I was enacting the pose given when Buffy asks what he is doing hanging around, 'in 5 words or less' hehe

    Not surprised about the choice of episodes either :smiley:

    Love the outfit! It's spot on. You almost make a better Spike than James did :wink: :smile: And you're also referencing my favourite Spike scene EVER. <3 it's a shame I can only hit that Awesome button once :worried::smiley:
