And for our next installment in The Continued Adventures of Lauren Being Infuriated about S8, I bring you: The Worst Interview Ever!

You know why this is the worst interview ever? I will tell you why.

HOW ON EARTH IS THE SECOND QUESTION OUT OF YOUR MOUTH (right after, "Is Angel really Twilight?") NOT SOME VARIATION ON "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SPIKE?"

Seriously. Seriously. How do you not ask if Spike's going to show up or if Spike knows or if Spike is involved or SOMETHING? HOW DO YOU NOT ASK THAT?

Okay. Like Dawn, I'm over it it. I'm gonna go back to the happy world of fic now, okay?

I don't think I even want to watch it. I don't mind if Angel is Twilight - but I mind like crazy if Buffy is all over him as shown on the covers. Like you said - back to the happy world of fanfic...

Actually that was one thing that set my mind at ease: the kissy-kissy cover is more about a homage to a particular Marvel comic than it is representative of anything that actually happens. I don't think it'll play out the way it looks.

I hope not. But I'll be watching the coming months through my fingers so I can slam them shut quickly if I need to. :)

The homage thing does bother me: is it actually homage if your audience doesn't recognize the reference?

But I think yours is the best policy!

This is why I ignore the comics. They're lame. They're hair stands straight up, and they are bloody stupid.

....or some variation thereof. >.>

Love. It!

Lalala, still in denial over here!

Actually, I think what's bugging me about this is how little I care. I'm both less disturbed and less enthused about Angel as Twilight than I would be about anyone else. And the lack of Spike is just baffling! IDEK!

Oh well! We'll see when we see, I guess :)

Exactly!

Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait and find out!

And why is he wearing three belts???

Oh, who knows? Nothing makes sense anymore! *profound sigh*

What. the. fuck. I just... WHAT.

Your reactions keep being pretty much my reactions.

Wow, that was awkward syntax.

Did they really accidentally spoiler three careful years of buildup? Really? Because then they'd be appallingly stupid.

Or is this another yanking of fannish chains? 'Cause if they think they still have a grip on this fan's chains, then they're, well, appallingly stupid.

Either way, I'm appalled. QED.

(I'm still leaning toward the latter option, though.)

Yup, I think they were appallingly stupid, either way you slice.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see....

Hmm. Maybe we should try to think of some alternative uses for the comics. I mean, since no one seems inclined to actually read them anymore and we don't want to waste the ones that have already been printed. I'm sure they would be excellent to line hamster cages with. Or to use when one is lighting a fire in one's fireplace.

They've got some lovely colors--I bet we could make attractive oragami swans out of them. Or Christmas tree ornaments. We've got all kinds of options!

This is just highlighting the real reason why I was never interested in the comics: I was wary that they'd go the NJO route. Aka slowly make me care and then eff everything up.

FIC!

FIC! is right!

Cordy-in-my-icon is bored with this whole thing!

This just highlights to me why doing a mystery in comics is a bad idea. Spoilers are inevitable. Having a story that lasts nearly four years and trying to keep that secret for the entire time? Yeah, not surprised it got fumbled so close to the end zone.

But... I've thought Angel was Twilight for a while. I even betted it was him here. It was either Angel or Xander, imo. And Angel fit better.

Is that interview really bad? I almost don't want to listen to it. I started listening to it and her voice kinda annoys me like WHOA. I've actually compiled a few questions to send along to Scott Allie, so wel'll see how that goes.

Definitely! And I think it would have been way more interesting to have known this from the beginning--that way, if what's really important is "why" as everyone keeps saying, that would be the focus. The BIG REVEAL thing just isn't going to work.

You're clairvoyant! Yay for you!

The interview wasn't horrible. It's just that she didn't even think to bring up Spike. I realize not everyone has him on the brain the same way I do, but still. Plus...maybe I shouldn't say this to you? But I don't think Scott Allie and I would get along in real life.
