Still have the rest of VividCon to write up (I have notes for every vidshow that I managed to see, so, yeah, there's quite a bit more), but I've been distracted by (what else?) Stargate SG-1, which is such a shiny show.

I'm working today, but I have tomorrow off and currently have no plans, so I'll be working much on fannish and personal things on Wednesday.

In boniblithe's recent entry, you can find links to some vids from the premieres that are already up. I haven't gotten to it yet on my list, but I'd just like to recommend the vid for The Others, at least if you've seen the movie. Not sure it spoils the biggest thing (since I, well, already knew), but it spoils one of the very big things. It's a beautiful vid, though.

And this is random and Angel-related, but Lilah was not Wesley's healthiest relationship. Anyone else remember a very pretty woman named Virginia? With whom Wesley got together with and eventually parted from because they both realized that she couldn't take the violence of his lifestyle (and, give her points, consider where it took him)? And how very mature both sides were about the dissolution of their relationship? And the sweetness of the relationship and the cuteness with which it started? Did the poor woman fall into a black hole?

See, I never felt like Riley accepted who Buffy was. Between him being threatened by her Slayer strength and hurt by her way of coping with stress, I saw a lot of issues with him about women who don't need or want to be protected.

I totally agree about Oz. They did a good job of showing those issues as ongoing. For Willow/Tara, you're right. They did show it earlier in Willow. I was just dissatisfied with the way Tara's co-dependence in that relationship was shown as romantic all the way until Willow broke trust, as opposed to it being a problem in itself.

Ya know, that kind of reminded me of Fred and Wesley on Angel -- Fred was shown, at least IMO, as mildly creeped out by his intentions and it really wasn't the healthiest thing for him to fixate on her, and then all of a sudden (people say they saw it coming, but it really looked all of a sudden to me) she's interested in him again and they were happy together and then tragedy struck. It felt like the plot wheels were creaking as ME moved the characters into place to get them where ME wanted them to go, and I really felt that with the end of W/T.
