A mixed bag

darcydodoA few musings on "End of Days," now.
My first, ridiculous, hope/thought is as regards weirdo!Giles as he has appeared in the last several episodes. The Guardian said that the shadow people Buffy encountered became the Watchers. Buffy made those shadow men pretty fucking pissed off. Mightn't this have somehow unconsciously influenced Giles? OK, I know I'm grasping at straws now in order to explain something that assuredly can't be explained and is simply bad writing, but... he really did only start acting strange after "Get It Done."
OK, let's see, other things. Angel.... it was obviously expected that he'd show up in Sunnydale, after the AtS finale, since he has to bring W&H's amulet to Buffy. (Although, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlwithjournal pointed out, it was Spike who was wearing the amulet in the trailer for next week!) mciac groused lots that she was hoping Angel would be the First, but it's true that something doesn't seem quite right, regardless; and it's not just that I can't see how Buffy could go for puffy!Angel, having (I think?) not seen him for three years. Angel did seem slightly Angelus-like, although I'll grant I've not been watching AtS much and his character might have changed a bit. And the music was worse camp than the Xander/Cordy kissage music, which was intentionally cheesy and bad! There has got to be a reason for this, and given that Joss has complete control over "Chosen," hopefully things will go a bit better than they have recently. As for Caleb's apparent death, sschmitt was sitting there muttering "chop off his head! chop off his head!" Since I don't think she's recently become the Red Queen, I'll put her down for a spot of prophecy.
There are probably other things that will come to me, but that's it for now.
In other news,wolfemancs is currently telling me the disturbing things he's just watched contortionists doing on some TLC program. And he attempted to convey to me through charades that he has 1 final on Saturday. He was doing very well at this, except I got him so frustrated with my appalling guessing (partially intentional) that he eventually gave up and told me the answer. This prompted me to continue my giggling fit from earlier this evening. Oh, and he might come to the party on Saturday.

Second, Angel doesn't seem Angelus-y to me, he seems annoying Sunnydale Angel to me.
C'mon, he was never smarmy before! It's really all very very strange. Grr.
