CHALLENGE: "End of Days" ats_endofdays ( http://www.livejournal.com/community/ats_endofdays)

SUMMARY: Harmony adjusts to life at Wolfram and Hart

SPOILERS: Vague, up to and including AtS episode 5.1

DISTRIBUTION: Please contact me for permission.

DISCLAIMER: The characters used in this story are not my own but are borrowed from creator, Joss Whedon, and his TV series, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel". No proceeds are being made from this story; it is only for fun.

The Story.

More back-reviews of older episodes, during this awfully long hiatus.

BTW, I didn't like Friday's Wonderfalls as much as the first two eps, but it was still a strong one, still funny and engaging.

I also just read that Fox went out of its way to tell the Wonderfalls crew "no lesbian kissing on-screen". What the BLEEP!?! Stupid homophobic network.

I'm not using a cut tag here because "Damage" aired quite a long time ago. Sorry, tannymonster and maryavatar and all who are not in the U.S. -- just squint yer eyes. :-!

Andrew in Season Seven said "You're barking up the wrong asparagus net".

Let's just apply that to Spike in this episode: part of his undoing was jumping to conclusions, barking up the wrong asparagus net, and getting caught.

But it all made for a very interesting scene with Angel at the end, which I really liked.

Question: do some stores really sell guns in the open like that? Whoa. Never seen that here on the east coast (although, vague memory of seeing such a thing at a Walmart in Colorado, they do love their stupid guns there).

Dana was such an interesting character, and it makes you think there must be other slayers like her, or with different but equally nasty situations that make their new powers take on rather un-anticipated twists.

Favorite funnies:

Spike and Angel emerging from separate elevators at the same time -- what a great shot set-up by the cinematographer there.

Andrew, of course. "He's alive, Mr. Frodo, he's alive!" and "Price, I see Mr. Giles may have been wrong about you" and of course "82% more manly ...", splat, scream. And so much Spike/Andrew slashiness as to be nearly overwhelming. And the little brown lunch bag and ridiculous suit. Oh, wait, and the taste of blood. He just HAD to lick that coin. Heh heh.

Spike/Angel snarkage.

Of course the best thing of all was seeing Andrew (and by extension Giles and Buffy) stand up to the W&H gang/Angel. The Fang Gang has really been barking up the wrong asparagus net all season, and Spike's horrible loss gave us a scary, Titanic-iceberg glimpse of just how much one can lose when going down a murky moral slippery slope.

Leonard Roberts, who played the horrid Forest in S4 of Buffy, was on Tru Calling tonight. His character was very different. Glad the actor and character aren't one and the same. Still a pretty badly written show, but the directing isn't too bad, and the sets and costumes are OK, and you all know the real reason I like to watch it anyway. ;-)

Late to the party, stupid digital cable, blah blah.

Anyway, I really liked what you had to say about the episode, keever.
