Yup, because - like Angel - when Faith was good, she was good, but when she was bad, she was GREAT!
And I never really got the whole "tortured" thing from Buffy, but Faith and Angel pulled it off pretty well.

I'm unaware of doing so. If I'm guilty of anything here, it's being unwilling to respond to his counter statements. I disagree with all of them, but the past has led me to believe that every statement I make in contradiction to anything he's posted will generate a new counter-attack. I also confess to not taking him seriously. Considering both of these, I had no interest in an exchange. I was just trying to tell him "Oh, please go away."
He can post his information on his own thread, and we never have to cross paths. The history here is simple: any disagreement has led to an endless "is so" "is not" which IMHO is a total waste of time. I am not interested in it. I'm also not interested in getting trolled, so if someone is going to troll me, I have to give him a good incentive not to.
As for the last, "Citizen is posting, this is never good" is such an obvious snark. If that sets him off then there has to be minimum safe distance between us. God, I don't even know how many users I've said that to on this forum. It's pretty a generic snark, being a buffy paraphrase and all. And much used.
So maybe your right, I pulled the trigger. But the arsenal was just sitting there

I didn't get quite so far as thinking it was an eye, though ... now that you mention it ...
I was thinking that the asymmetric sagging looked somehow - I don't know - debauched, corrupted, leprous ... I can't quite come up with the word.

Ah yes, I think I cracked it... you are surreptitiously watching the guy work on your kitchen drain...

Thanks for the threadjack. Much appreciated. Seriously, not just because this one took a wrong turn, but also because I'm a fan of threadjacks in particular, and chaos in general. But also, threadjacks are necessary. If this had been about Faith, the char, it wouldn't have been RWED. Pepsi changing its logo, that's a real world event. Something happening to Eliza, that would be apocalyptic. Nice icon btw.

Absolutely. Call be a pancake, but I'm up for being a slayer sandwich. But seriously, Faith is the sort of character who makes a story.
Oh, and Frem, upon reflection, rather than take blame for going nuclear, I take credit.
PR
I liked Sarah as Faith (I'm sorry, language clarification issue, Buffy as Faith, Faith as Buffy, I couldn't figure out which way you meant, but I gather you were praising Eliza's portrayal of Buffy) Anyway, I thought Sarah did an awesome job, as did Eliza. It was a great double ep?
It was awesome. Actually, it was probably the best freaky friday I've seen.
I liked Aimee's mom as an actress I thought she should have recurred.
Faith highlights, her nervousness at being on the wrong side, her pseudo gay thing with buffy, hell, i'll take the whole package.
Five by Five.

I really just wanted to use that icon, is all.
And may I state for the record that it's nice to see Citizen over here. Things in RWED are kind of out of whack for me without him, and I had a hard time keeping up at formerly-Gossi's boards.

Dude, that is just SOOOO wrong!
I'll never look at a new Pepsi the same way.

I guess I'm not winning any popularity contests. I find the incessant attacks annoying. For me, it was a nice peaceful absence.
I should probably just vacate, this will likely become a war zone now, and I have important things to do.
IMHO, Objectively, I posted what I thought was an interesting topic, and then got attacked by a usual suspect, (a snark or disparaging comment, no problem, but when it fills the thread?)
Anyway, that was followed by a pile on. I thought a couple people were trying to deflect the battle, but naw, guess not. Oh well, a perfect ruin to an otherwise perfect day.
I see the black widow spider that lives at the head of my bed had babies. Well, that's annoying. She could have had them somewhere else. Ah well.

I'm not on Citizen's side against you (or vice versa), though. As as mostly-lurker, I just miss the flavor.

DT: Don't let it get to you, and for damn sure don't let it get you down. I know you're a live and let live kind of guy, but even for the most Tao of us, there are some people we just don't get along with. Ever. Looks like you've found your anti-DT.
If you go, you'll be missed, because while we may not agree on much, you definitely bring a much-needed insight to this forum.

We all have our moments...
And I mean that in all three connotations thereof.
