furious ranting...
Okay... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?
Adam and I just finished watching tonight's new Buffy, and oh... dear god. I was spoiled all to hell, but seeing Xander get his eye gouged out seriously turned my stomach. And I am officially in extreme hate with the writers of this show, because god-fucking-dammit, I love Xander. Xander is good, and loyal, and funny, and okay, sometimes he's an asshole, but it's always sort of justified. And what does he get in return? No story arc, hardly any screen time, and a shiny plaque with "Butt Monkey" written on it in capital letters. But no, it's not enough to simply push him into the background and make him spend his two minutes of scripted involvement fixing broken windows AGAIN. They have to abuse him in every way possible, because apparently the writers have a big hate-on for Xander.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! THE EYE! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE EYE?
And hey, Mr. Drew Goddard? Fuck you for trapping Faith in her season 3/4 persona. Is the whole prison time, repentance, redemption thing lost on you? Look it up. Or better yet, how about having a discussion with someone over at Mutant Enemy who has actually been WATCHING the show for a while. Have them fill you in.
Oh, right. Those people work on Angel now. Silly me, thinking that someone working on Buffy may actually still care.
Yes, I am extremely pissed off. Leave me to my pathetic misery, please.
I promise I'll update for real later. Right now I'm too immobilized by disbelief to write anything interesting of coherent. You understand.
back & forth
