I've finally reached my favorite episode of Angel - Destiny. It's the episode in which Spike and Angel fight for the fake vampire shanshu. I love that episode. Plan on watching tonight or tomorrow night - time permitting.

Rumor has it that Hulu/Disney is waiting for Buffy the Vampire Slayer's 3oth Anniversary - which is next year, to air "Buffy: New Sunnydale". That will be my 60th year on this planet. I was roughly 27 when Buffy first aired. I'd moved to NYC one year prior. And I was watching it live - didn't own a VHS at the time, DVD's didn't exist yet and there was no such thing as streaming. You missed an episode? You prayed for reruns. (And Fox eventually replayed all the episodes of Buffy right before the new episodes aired.) Online fandom back then - was difficult to find, and scattered among various websites, with hidden fan boards. I didn't discover it until November 2001, and fell down the fandom rabbit hole, and haven't really resurfaced since.

Feeling much better. Not coughing hardly at all, and not blowing my nose, and no runny eyes. Still wore the mask to and from work, but I'm starting to back off of it.

But have leg cramping and digestive issues tonight. Hmm. I had chickpea mac and cheese, with brussel sprouts, celery, carrots, and broccoli in the air fryer. Maybe too much for the stomach? Sigh.

Eh, no time left. Will do the Question a Day Mememage tomorrow or Saturday.

I'm glad to hear the virus has nearly gone. Destiny is one of my favourites. Is that the episode when they had to cut down the fighting because Boreanaz had injured his knee?

Yup. Actually DB stepped up and continued, but they did have stunt men do the big insane jumps. The actors don't do those.

My first view of Buffy was reruns of S3, and I started on Angel S1. Major life events happened and I didn't pick back up with Buffy until late in S4. We always recorded the show because my partner worked nights and we both loved the shows. So as soon as he was available we watched the recordings. I bought the S1 and S2 VHS sets during S6, which I think is when they were first available.

I'm surprised they'd wait that long to air it. Sure the anniversary would be good timing but consider all the fans who will no longer be with us by then.
