Like the pic. Love Spike and Drusilla (and I hate Dursilla) in this scene due to the filming and editing. The way they walk along the catwalk (seems like it's slightly slo-mo) in perfect unison and the background music.

Nan, You are completely correct. I wasn't refering to your posts at all. And I am loath to say which posts specifically I was referring. Looking back, I think perhaps the Willow thing was in the previews of the last Angel (Don't know..haven't seen it yet obviously) so perhaps I mispoke concerning that specific. Previews are by ScoopMe! standards not "spoilers."
I guess what I was trying to get across is that remaining spoiler-free IS as hard as walking a tightrope while carrying a picher full of nitroglycerin and it doesn't help when some one is shaking the rope. *L* I have seen in the last couple days a rush to "spoilage" and everytime I read a post that mentions spoilers, no matter how benignly, it makes my stomach get whooshy. I jsut know that in a future post, someone is going to let slip with a "*wink, nudge* Go read the Spoiler board concerning Miss Kitty Fantastico. I'm not saying she's coming back..but well...boy will you be surprised. Turns out that felines can be slayers too!!" It would be one of those "too late...toothpaste is out of the tube" moments; can't unring the bell.
That would jsut flat out ruin it for me. I want to read this board (hell, I have to, due to my duties to the website). I specifically don't read the Spoiler board, I don't read the Inside Dish, and I rarely even go to the Episodes board anymore. I want to remain spoiler free. The fact that I couldn't watch Angel is my own problem and I am not complaining abou that at all. All I had to do was avoid the board for a couple days til I could see it on Saturday. I was simply trying to remind people that jsut talking about spoilers in the lightest way has an uncanny knack for revealign the spoiler....someone ends up replying to an innocent well handled spoiler mention, blabbing and then posting "Ooops, sorry...thought you already knew." And in my opinion, an "oops sorry" jsut doesnt cut it. When it happens that way, the jerk was being malicious. That's my opinion and I will stick to it.
Again Nan, this was not directed at you. I think you know I hold you in the highest esteem thru our postings here over the last couple months. In fact, it's not directed specifically at anyone here. It's jsut a reminder to please be careful out there.
Vlad

Folks, stop reading the rest of the posts right this minute, direct your browsers to the S'cubie Website and read Rob's Chapter 12 in Truths. It is EXCELLENT! It can be found in the Fanfictional! area on the site.
Rob has written his best chapter thus far. I really mean that. Rob, I would like to take this moment to thank you. You have handled this whole episode in NY fantastically. I am sooo enjoying your character interactions. Truly, you are filling that void that BtVS has created this year by not doing character exploration/ growth.
Again, thanks,
Vlad, TA, tp

Unfortunately, I was the one, and of course, I'm the one who can't get your pictures. Sigh.

Right there with you Nan. Even I, big ex-spoiler ho that I am, have been spoiled on a couple of things I didn't want to know lately. And I think you're right, these long gaps between episodes are one reason. At least the repeat of Buffy this week is a good one. Although, I re-watched 'Him' and laughed more than I did the first time around. Part of it was that I no longer feel the angst over 'Will they EVER treat SPike right' that I was feeling then. I feel comfy with Spike living in the Buffy basement (hmmmm..that sounded odd) and being a part of the gang now.

Go check out Rae's profile on the S'cubie Website and learn a thing or two about one of our new gals. I think she's here to stay! *S* Welcome to the gang, Rae.

I don't know how many of you were participants in the fan driven James Marsters Thank You Ad for Variety (I was!) but if you were, and want to get a copy of the ad, go to the following website to get the instructions for ordering a copy. www.savespike.com/1024x768/home.htmFor those of you who didn't know, fans raised over $5000 - $3000+ will pay for a full page ad in Variety March 24 thanking James Marsters for his contribution to Buffy, his wonderful portrayal of Spike and his kindness to his fans. Sigh... The rest of the money goes to a charity he supports 'Aids Pediatric Association' I think its a surprise for James, his management has been cooperating with the people who have coordinated this drive, to pick a picture and the charity. Can't wait to get my copy and have James sign it!

Rae, so cool! We both have cats named after Frank Sinatra! And I thought it was so unique...

Rob, just finished Chapter 12. Can I say how awed, impressed, jazzed I am by your writing? Sooo good. Chapter 10 made me laugh out loud 'Spike in the buff?' Chapter 11 was tight, and then Chapter 12 made me cry. Twice! You have a real talent, and you know these characters so well. Write on!

Tonight I was glancing through Little Willow's appraisal of the season so far, done just after New Year's, and it was like Oz (place, not person). You were (nearly) all there, before I knew you. Diane and Spring were having a mad, civil, gleeful tussle about Spike's degree of responsibility for past evil misdeeds, and Alexandra was snarking in a way she seldom allows herself anymore, and Patti was there, and Robert was ranting on about Xander, and it was just so strange. It was as if I could actually hear the voices. Like being at a party (I HATE parties!) with the loud, indeterminate drone of conversation and all of a sudden, there's a familiar voice. And another. And another.
Very strange.

Vlad - I notice for each and every S'cubie's profile, the first question is missing from my screen. Am I the only one who doesn't have the first question appear? The answer appears, but not the question.
