Oh, that's way too much to pay for a pair of pants!

Interesting Wesley observation:

I'm watching Lineage for the first time in awhile and I just noticed that once Wesley's father turned up Wesley's voice reverted to Early!Wes mode. Nervous and overly self-assure (in an obvious attempt to veil his insecurities) and clipped. Listen to it without looking at the screen and you'll swear you're watching Season 1.

And I can't stop going, "Awwwwwwwww, poor woobie!" over and over, what with Angel chastising Wes, Wes feeling all guilty for Fred getting hurt, Daddy Wyndam-Pryce making him feel like an incompetent child and reminding him and everyone else of his past failures over and over...

"Awwwwwwwwww, poor woobie!"

See? But I also love that Wes can return to being strong and bad ass, once he realizes that something's up, but the scene of him shooting Roger still makes my heart break for Wes.

"Awwwwww..."

After this I really need to go to bed.

Oh man, now I really need to go to bed. Might give me nightmares. That little essay that you did in November was so on the mark, I think that Joss couldn't do any better. And we wonder why lots of critics keep telling people that Angel was one of the best shows on TV and that it was a travesty that it was cancelled. And that's Wesley's character was "the" most complex character ever created for television. Your essay shows that in spades. I so miss the show now after reading that. Because we all know that Wesley wasn't supposed to die at the end of season five (Alexis even says it himself that the WB killed Wesley). Now I'm depressed! At least I have you guys to talk with about this. Read more fics. That'll put me in a better mood.

My way of undepressing after that was to start writing S1 Wes. :-) I recommend it!
