My Brain Works Backwards

[sariagray]

Oddly (and unlike 99.9% of the population), even though I watched the first handful of seasons of Buffy and all of Angel before seeing Torchwood, James Marsters will be John Hart to me first, and Spike second.

Which makes finally picking up Buffy where I left off (end of season 4) absolutely hilarious. And I swear...UNIT? The Initiative? THE SAME THING, OKAY?

Also, I have a headache. Also, I'm already packing for Friday and freaking out about security and the like. Also, I'm going to bed.

OMG, you're watching Buffy too? Well, unlike you, I just started and am somewhere halfway through the third season. It's so weird seeing James Masters so young! And I see now why people say Spike and John are very much alike. I do like his white blonde hair in Buffy.
Willow is so adorable, and I now feel lots better for crushing on Anthony Head (Giles) while watching Merlin.

lol Are we destined to forever watch the same totally random things at the same time? ;)

Willow is absolutely adorable! And Spike & John Hart both play on likable bad pretty well! (And totally acceptable to crush on him. Also Alexis Denisof - seriously, watch Angel too. I liked it better than Buffy, I think, overall.)

It is ALWAYS acceptable to crush on Tony Head (and Alexis Denisof... and Robin Sachs.).. ;)

That must put me squarely in with that 0.1% then, because I watched James in Buffy (missed him in Angel) and I loved him to death, but I see John Hart first. Weird when you get right down to it; John was only in three episodes, while Spike was an integral part of Buffy (yes, and Angel).

Speaking of Buffy, I STILL need to watch Once More With Feeling (I think that's the title). You know, the one that they all sang their lines? It was on the other day, but of course, not on a channel I could watch. *sad madface*

Oh - and have a great trip!

I am excited to get to "Once More With Feeling" because...well, I have heard much about it! :D And I'm really, really glad that I'm not the only one who associates this way! I think, for me at least, it has something to do with the fact that I spent a month watching Buffy before, and let it go, and then a whole year thinking about Torchwood and John Hart, etc. Maybe. I don't know!

(Thank you! I will! <3 So long as I don't get arrested or lost, it should be fantastic! lol)

Favourite episode of series 4 would have to be Superstar. ;) I have a huge love for Danny Strong.

I just realised that the Adam episode is pretty much a crib off that episode even down to the opening credits with Jonathan inserted into them.

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

I completely forgot about that episode by the time I got to "Adam," but you're so right! *Eyes RTD suspiciously*

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

It's been so long since I'd seen that episode! I had to stop watching season 4, though, because the whole Adam/Initiative plotline felt too weird to me. After...all of the other shows I've watched since then? Not weird at all now! lol

Hmmm, I saw the first season of Angel, then my favourite character died and as I never actually liked the show I stopped watching, can't for the life of me remember if Marsters were in that season, he's John Hart to me -or himself ;)

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

I think he showed up in the last season or two, but it's been a while so I'm not sure. And yay, glad I'm not crazy! :D

Watching Buffy brings back happy memories as I used to watch it with my eldest daughter. She still does watch it on boxed sets with her partner - but not with me these days!

We also loved Angel and I still have my treasured 'Angel' glass in the cupboard that was bought for me:)

JM was brilliant as Spike - a part made for him... or is that the other way round?

[dylantoms.livejournal.com]

I have a great Spike/Angel moment on Facebook somewhere that I pinched from an American friend of mine who got it from Tim Minnear who we met at a FoLC Fest and she kept in touch...

Not sure if I know how to copy and paste it here but will have a look and will if I can.

Smashing guy BTW.

Ok, can't do that, but you can go to Tim's page - Tim Minear [sorry for earlier typo].
Go to photos, scroll down to 'Photos and Videos of Tim', keep going and you should see it. Picture looks dark, but quality is ok - and very funny
