salineaGot to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hamsterwoman and family yesterday as they were in vacations in Europe. That was pretty damn awesome and they were all absolutely adorable and I had a blast (they invited me to dinner). ♥ ♥ ♥
Very hot day today. So I finished watching Angel S5. I feel like the ending was pretty week actually, mostly because the plot made no sense (some lines/scenes were great though despite being horribly spoiled). Overall I thought S5 was solid, mostly thanks to a great number of very good and good standalone episodes. I thought the shift of setting to Wolfram & Hart was interesting and rife with potential, but the treatment of the into the belly of the beast / corporate evil was extremely uneven and inconsistent; and as always with AtS, I thought the show was very much weakened by how literally they take the topic of Good vs Evil (especially because of how weak the world building is... the Day Watch series for example manages to make literal manicheism interesting because it actually follows through logically from there in term of world building and de construct it, ME just tends to throw in whatever cool scene or metaphor they wanted this week) and because the villains were really weak : neither Eve nor Hamilton have much to provide in terms of antagonism, and Lindsey... well I've yet to figure what Lindsey was trying to accomplish or why in S5, which made him quite the lacklustre villain as well despite my fondness for the character. I eventually came to appreciate Spike's addition to the show thanks to the great chemistry he has with Angel. Weasley was entertaining as ever though he did go a bit too much into the wangsty at the end. Illyria was fun for the little we saw her. Harmony was a blast. Gunn's storyline was quite disappointing, and I was never particularly fond of Lorne in the first place so whatever.
And that's it. Now I'm all finished with the Buffyverse (errr, do I want to continue reading the comics? The only one I liked was the one about Faith and all the spoilers tend to discourage me more than anything). I guess I could read some fanfics like Masq's The Destroyer though.
I feel like I should have more to tell, but now I can't think of what? I guess, my date went well thanks for the well wishes. And I need to read those FMA reactions posts now! Yay!
