Holy Hell.
Ok, Angel losing his soul, lesbian relationships, that's fine, My kid is old enough to deal with this stuff now, I'm not gonna be the prude my mom was....
WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE WARN ME ABOUT SPIKE AND BUFFY GETTING TOGETHER???????
I actually scan a couple ahead, so I saw it first, but wowza that's seven shades of FUCKED UP. Not sure I can wrap MY head around that scene. 
*whistles*

The whole Buffy / Spike thing is interesting. Then there's the carry over , in Angel, where he and Spike have a running feud over her, as can be expected.
And I really like how they explore the history between Spike, Angel, Drusilla and Darla. Great fun.

I think I enjoyed the series more now than I would have if I watched them THEN. It was fabulous to skip through some slow bits on Netflix, so I didn't get as bored as normally do.
Here's a recent down under interview with James. Seems he's mellowed into a mature man, I think he would be great on a quirky family show. His natural voice is soothing...

Can you explain to me how this is significantly different from General Peyton Hospital World Turns?

You are asking how this is different from Soaps? Well, for one thing...
Coolness, yo.
Soaps are baby mama drama just for the sake of it's own malevolent suckitude.
Over-acting with under-whelming action, for people who feed on causing personal conflicts and emotionally draining other people with their narcissistic drama. Buffy and Angel is about the classic struggle between good and evil, both outside and inside ourselves. Soaps are about people blathering and being petty for a half-hour.....Clear enough?
Someone was playing soaps in a waiting room the other day, and half the women in there (myself included) led a revolt. Just because we have boobs, doesn't mean we wanna watch that.

James is great. I really did come around to liking his character more and more through Buffy then Angel. He really was awesome in Angel. Nice interview, Wish. Thanks for posting.
And wouldn't you know it, I had half a mind to flip over to PIVOT and see if MAYBE they were running the Halloween episode of Buffy, and the whole damn channel is GONE !!! No more PIVOT. Freaking cease operations ! WTH is that ?
Grrr.

Btw, I totally blame you and ECGordon for me being addicted to Black Mirror. 
There's more thought and plot in there than 95% of the stuff in the last ten years. Wish they had toned down the "fuck" every five minutes, so my kid could watch, so I think she'll have to wait a couple more years for that.
I think that the "Sea of Tranquility" sci-fi- show they keep referencing is kind of a play at US too, yanno...Serenity...Tranquility. I'll give it points for that alone.
BBC is really kicking the USA's ass in TV Land lately. Sad. And yet, I'm grateful.
