An interesting bit of Van Helsing-related news here. Personally I prefer Van Helsing/Carlimir to Van Helsing/Dracula, but never mind.

In Angel-related news, have just seen the episode where Holtz takes baby Connor dimension-hopping. Thank God. Also, Angel trying to smother Wesley with a pillow is hilarious. Just can't take David Boreanaz seriously at all in that scene.

Still hate Fred.

Am also wondering if it was intentional that the creepy little girl Angel and Lilah meet in the White Room looks like a younger version of Eve.

That IS interesting Van Helsing news -- I think tis a pretty neat idea!! :D

I'm with you on that one. Van Helsing/Carl still makes more sense. Not that there's anything wrong with Dracula :)

I never managed to work out who I thought Holtz reminded me of. Awwh... baby Connor.

Why? :) Any particular stage of Fred? How do you feel about the blue version?

Not thought about that... hmm... knowing the Jossverse it's probably foreshadowing or something.

Let's be honest here, how open I am to the idea of Van Helsing/Dracula will pretty much depend on how pretty the guys playing them are. *is shallow*

Holtz kinda gives me Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter vibes. Might be the British accent, though.

Fred just annoys me. That whole crush on Angel thing made me want to kill her, then it was how sickening she and Gunn were - that conversation on the phones about which state was better? If I was Wesley, I would have thrown something at them even if I didn't have a stalkertastic obsession with Fred. Plus, "Pancake kiss?" Gag me with a canoe. Then there was the scene where she tells Wesley that the prophecy about Angel killing Connor was false - "It was all for nothing, look at me, I'm a sanctimonious bitch."

Everything she does gets on my nerves, from the way she was all "The visions aren't from the Powers!" in the episode where WR&H are sending Cordy the killer visions to get Angel to rescue Billy, right up until how whiny she was on her deathbed in Hole in the World ("I'll be there in a heartbeat."/"Assuming I still have one." Oh my God, shut up Fred!).

Pretty much the only time I liked her was in that first episode of season 4, where she and Gunn had to take over AI and she kept everything going. And zapped Connor with a taser repeatedly, because that was funny. And she didn't annoy me in season 2, mostly because I didn't realise I'd have to put up with her for another three years.

Illyria, however, is cool.

Not at all - thinking about any slash I read - the protagonists are more often than not pretty. It must be how my slash goggles work or something.

He always reminded me of some creepy old uncle from a horror movie or Nathan Lane... either really.

I loved Illyria. I know that Fred was supposed to be the antithesis to the more confident Cordelia or seductive Darla but they had better storylines and relationships. I can't forgive her breaking poor little Wesley's heart - the harlot! Not that he wasn't thinking about Angel anyway.

Okay, when I read that, the first thing that popped into my head was Uncle Fester, and now I want to see a Celebrity Death Match-style show with Angel vs Uncle Fester. Except that I don't, because Angel would probably lose.

Illyria was great - Wesley's all, go to the lab, and Illyria's like, "I go because it suits me, bitch!" and Wesley's all, "I am emasculated". Plus the bit in the last episode with the headtilt and cutting away to imply massive violence.

And I get that she was supposed to contrast with Cordy and Darla, but there's a world of difference between being shy and just being annoying.

*snerk* Everyone thinks about Angel. Hell, I think even Angel thinks about Angel.

Angel wouldn't be able to compete - especially as he lacks the ability to light bulbs by putting them in his mouth.

Ilyria was violent and proactive - doesn't that sound like I'm describing Faith? :) Fred was just... slightly eccentric and moderately irritating. Maybe I'd have liked her better if she was given a more active role. All that wallflower stuff can be annoying.

Just imagine what he was like when he could see his own reflection.

of course it looks like young eve.
1.) she is the embodyment of all evil.
2.) most female actresses look very very similar.
3.) joss. = obbsessively organised planning ostetrician
4.)americans are sueing McDs for amking them fat. What is That about.

love the VH news btw. even though the show will be teh suck.

True, true, true despite stupidity of the mixup with Spike's sire, and it's about Americans being retarded.

Also, I hope for your sake that wasn't a pun.
