Gahh... after the pretty cool Smallville ep (Oooh, Rutger Hauer goodness), I am currently enduring my first-ever episode of Angel. Spike hasn't shown up yet. He's the only bleedin' reason I'm watching this, just as he was the only reason I watched Buffy. This is it. The last straw.

I can't stand Whedon humor. I hate this cutesy self-refferential crap. I hate every stupid lazy I'm-so-clever bit of dialogue. I don't care if the rest of the world disagrees with me, I'm the last angry fan. I wouldn't be so pissed off if these shows weren't hailed as works of utter genius by the vast majority of geekdom, of my people. I mean, the humor was great when Willow did it... five years ago. Now EVERYBODY frickin' sounds like her. Am I the only other bothered by all this?

I know no one gives a shit about this but me. But this needs to be said, once and for all: Joss Whedon is NOT the 21st Century Oscar Wilde.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But as I am in such a tiny minority apparently solely populated by my mother and I, I feel I'm allowed to be particularly vocal.

"And how do you take your blood, Mr. Angel?"

God in Heaven...

Chill. It is the first episode of the season, and it is part one of a two parter acording to TIVO. I shamlessly admit I love the show and have been watching it since season one. I am interested in seeing where they are going this season. It is, after all, a big departure from where the show was been.
