randomness
Feb. 27th, 2003 01:15 amTonight I'm in a good mood. My website is working normally again (it went through another periodic, inexplicable *slowness* this weekend). It's making me happy to just click random links on the page and watch the pages *actually load*. I get so upset when the site stops working (considering the amount of time I put into it, I guess that makes sense). I still don't know what the source of the problem is, but I'm trying to figure it out before this happens again.
Lets see ... I'm also in a good mood because "Storyteller" was awesome. I was almost entirely unspoiled (no wildfeed, no downloaded clips, I just knew the Spike scenes 'cause I'd read them in spoilers weeks ago). The opening sequence was absolutely hilarious; I was watching it with my roommate and we both totally cracked up. Then the "gods" bit ... oh my. That was one of the best moments of the series, ever. Wow. Hehehe.
I like that the episode had layers; that on one hand it was incredibly funny, but on the other hand there was real depth, particularly in the ending scene of Andrew turning off the camera after he realizes that life isn't a story. I love how the comedic bits played around with ideas of perception, subjectivity, narrative structure, lots of postmodern stuff. It raises so many fascinating ideas if you really get into it; I love how BtVS can be so fun on the surface and so thought provoking the more you explore it.
After "Buffy," Jane insisted that we watch "Smallville" because Christopher Reeve was going to be on. I'd never seen it before, but I thought it was pretty interesting (according to Jane this was one of the better episodes, so maybe I wouldn't be as impressed normally). I *totally* get the Clark/Lex fans now. The guy who plays Clark is such a bland prettyboy, though, and his parents seemed really boring. I probably won't watch it again, but I did like the episode.
