I think this is a case where it would be kinder for some good soul to send Gayle a videotape rather than just tell her what happened. The bad guys do not get the baby at this time, that's all you really need to know. ("She does not get eaten by the sharks at this time" - The Princess Bride) But the rest is much better seen than told. Even the answer as to what stops the baby fussing is a visual gem that would fall flat if we just wrote it. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 13:41:05 EST From: GHighPine@aol.com Subject: Re: b (do we use b/ for Angel?) / HELP!

I actually have missed almost all the Buffy eps this season because of taking some Tuesday evening classes and my VCR timer not working, but I figure that's why God invented reruns, and I know the general story line by reading the posts here. Classes have ended now, so rerun season starts just in time! :-) Gayle ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 11:31:38 -0500 From: "Micole Iris Sudberg" Subject: RE: b (do we use b/ for Angel?) / HELP! > I fell asleep partway through Angel last night. Anybody > PLEASE want to > tell me what I missed? Not much. There were wacky baby hijinks. There was a Beige!Angel fakeout, which proved to me that I am so disassociated from this show that what was thrilling last year causes annoyance this. Angel managed to get most of the groups after the baby killed off, and threatened the NotHolland guy into a stalemate. There is a very cool librarian at W&H who has an index in her brain. The baby is named Connor. Hospital staff certify it healthy and human and don't appear worried about the strange conglomeration of people who brought it in, none of whom are its mother. > (I remember the baby was fussing a lot and I was > wondering if he wanted > blood in his baby bottle rather than milk, did that point > ever come up?) No, but Angel's vampface calmed it down. > BTW, if a new Slayer is called, no rule says she =has= to > be in Sunnydale; it might well be an excuse to introduce a > new character on Angel. In fact, none of the Slayers we've seen (Buffy, Kendra, Faith) were called in Sunnydale. But this girl doesn't fight competently enough or with enough strength to be a Slayer, and I'm inclined to go with Joss' explanation for this, though I'd like to see the *characters* talk about it. - --m. ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V3 #196 *****************************
