so angels inside is the only way out

timerippleI've been gone a while. Sorry about that. I'm afraid my heart just hasn't been in Things Various and LJ lately.
First I had the hacking cold of doom No. 2, and then my valiant Anaxagoras died a sad computerly death, and then I went home for a while, and now the internet connection here is a bit unreliable. Seems like every time I go home it gets harder to leave. This time of year, you can smell the growing things in the warm night air blast when you step outside the airport. All the normal existential suckiness of April seems to have bled into May, too, which is Not Helping.
But New York does have its compensations. I bought a pair of awesome shoes last week. And thanks to the occasional and random fantastic of the public library, I have the seventh season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on hand. So it's not all woe and smashed cupcakes.
Okay, I really want cupcakes now. Note to self: don't start writing about cupcakes in the middle of the night. Really.

Having seen the first two discs, I agree with you: needs more Giles.

I have all except the first two seasons; I really, really hate Angel, and there's just too damn much of him as some kind of perfect guy in those first two. Although season 2 does have some awesome episodes. But the later seasons are just better. You need to see all of 5 and 6. And I mean all. Awesomeness. Did you see the end of season 5 where they're all running from the Knights of Byzantium in an RV? Course, Giles gets a spear in the chest, but still...
Apparently Tony Head wanted more time with his family, so he asked the producers towards the middle of season 6 to kind of phase him out. But then he's around more towards the end of 7, although it's not necessarily a good thing for him and Buffy...
Ok, no spoiling. Sorry.

I just got the final two DVDs for seasons 7 and 4. I was looking for 5 and 6, but the fact that the NYPL doesn't alphabetize its books, much less its video collection, should tell you something...
