supersymmetryRandom OOC ramblings here, too.
So, was just rewatching the end of Season 3, and the Fred/Gunn relationship still annoys me to death, but there are at least funny parts, like in Double or Nothing where she honestly and with an appropriate expression of horror says "Oh my God, Charles, do you have leukemia?!" in such a hysterical manner that even Gunn laughs at her. However, this entire plot is made stupider by the fact that Gunn's actual problem is that he sold his soul for a truck. Yeah, I don't know either. The crack that infiltrates these episodes makes me want to put a brick through the tv. Or, computer screen, as the case may be.
It also strikes me that Fred gets herself into mortal peril more often than anyone I've ever seen, so at least I'm playing her right. In the first one that I watched tonight, The Price, she gets possessed by some water-seeking demony slug thing and almost dies, and is saved by the amazing power of alcohol. No, I'm not making this up. The worst part is that they had to go to Wesley in order to get, not any magic, but the bottle of vodka that they then make Fred drink. I hate this show so much that I love it, seriously.
What else? Oh, various Lilah ramblings, but I'll put those in Lilah's journal when I app her. I've already got some screencaps that I want to icon from the last two episodes, both of her in a bar.
EDIT: OH RIGHT. Now I know what I was going to ask. Post Season-4, what memories, exactly, replaced those that happened during the Connor episodes? Why does Fred think that she and Gunn spent pretty much the whole summer running Angel Investigations without the help of Angel (who was at the bottom of the ocean), Cordy (who was off being a higher power), and Wesley (who was off fucking Lilah)? I've already made it Millicanon that she knows about Cordy having been a higher power for a while, but she doesn't know about Wes/Lilah after the mindwipe even though she found out about it just before, because that was more directly tied into the betrayal involving Connor. But still, there's a period of time that they would have had to like, totally swap in new memories for. I guess it was just la la la business as usual for those few months, with the direct effects of the Connorplot erased, so Angel never spent that time at the bottom of the ocean and Wes never left, but all the other stuff that happened still happened. That makes the most sense. I'm sure when I watch Season 4 I'm going to have to come up with my own version of the new memories until I decide to let her get the real memories back, because Connor's around for a lot of Season 4, and I've also made it Millicanon that Fred remembers Jasmine, but THAT at least was true anyway, she could see through Jasmine's spell or whatever before the mindwipe, so it makes sense that she would remember her after and I guess she just thinks Cordy was mystically impregnated instead of factoring Connor in.
Oh my God this makes my head hurt, and they didn't address it AT ALL on the show, just la la oh PS they all forgot Connor but we're not going to deal with Connor's nonexistence having other implications that they also would have to forget. And of course, for everyone who's still ALIVE by the finale, they fix it, but not for Fred because she's not around then.
