The ASS Board has become a very shippy board, then again it always has been every since it started in 1999. As much as the board mom tries to make it fair to all posters, it's just not welcoming to people who believe in different ships or really like different characters.

Please do, especially the shrinking world one, it sounds good.

Whoa, Billy scored a 2.7/2.6? That was a very cool ep, even though it was very disturbing. I guess some viewers wanted to see the main storyline which is the pregnant vampire since she focuses on the main character.

If there's one thing I like in my shows are variety in relationships. One of the reasons why I likesd Season 2 Angel was because you can see possibilities for relationships. When the possibilities are narrowed down to such a vise-like grip like C/A. C/A, C/A! the show becomes constrained when the possibilities are not told well. C/A is not being told well, at the moment.

Oh, thank you. :) I like listening to what you have to say,too, Blue.

Knock on wood, do a sign of the cross and read the wildfeed. Never hurts to be prepared, which is why I'm probably going to be breaking my anti-spoiler stance for the first time with an Angel ep.

Hah! You can't! The net always sucks you in, drawing you further and further into a world of madness. I tried, believe me, I've tried. Khali runs over to the screaming room in the D/A bunker. At least I've sworn off the ASS board for a few hours and the NG as well.

~Khali, who is going to re-watch Tabula Rasa and sigh over B/S kissage.
