Because Eve is awesome.

And the actress is married to the guy who played Andrew's older brother, Tucker (and who sang all of Aladdin's songs in the Disney movie.) "How weird is that, Mal!?"

I only got to answer the last three questions, cries.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge Eve fan clearly.

But that is interesting trivia.

That's always the sad thing about fandom-ey polls... not everyone is familiar with all of them

It looks like Ares is unambiguously cooler than Mars. Take that, Romans!

And you're the only wacko would would rather read Joyce than Homer! Now, I've never read Ulysses, and I actually loved Portrait of the Artist, but one of the books has a giant one-eyed monster and people being turned into pigs, and the other doesn't.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

The Greeks were just way more rad clearly.

Well I've already read Homer. Plus I like a challenge.

what did dwight do?!

damnit, i have to hook up an antenna or something.

and you know if it said fried cheese eating contest...well, i don't need to finish that with more than "PARTY!"

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

also, do pickles cound as a vegetable?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

depends on the context?

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

i just finished one of my little pickle cups and i realized i've had my banana...the apple is still in my bag, but what of the pickles. were they a veggie? a fruit (seeds)? they were good though...i like my little snack pack sized pickle cups.

this is how incredibly bored i am at work. i wasted 5 hours of potential study time and have ended up here, discussing my pickles.

sign me up for dunder.

I have done maybe 5 minutes of actual work today. And this is not unusual... man I need to start grad school.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

me too! the hardest call today went as follows:
me: good afternoon, art department
guy: is this the art department?
me: yes it is.
guy: i'd like the e-mail address for bill morrison
[it's phil btw]
me: ok
guy: because a student, majoring in art in the art department, at california state university northridge.
me: please hold one moment while i find it
[at which point i put him on hold, snickered, and found the address]

it was only hard 'cause he was ridiculous.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Oh people. Always so annoying.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

i shoulda asked him why he needed the e-mail addy so he could launch into his "i'm a student at california state university northridge majoring in art in the art department" speech again. silly me.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

muah ha ha.

A fried cheese eating contest... I would so be down for that.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

you're evil!!!

why do i think it's a good idea then to get a posse together for one when i know it can only lead to massive immediate weight gain and potentially a simultaneous group heart attack?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

because misery loves company?

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

i'm thinking the group heart attack could get us into the record books.


and is it just me or are we having like an icon war?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I think you just won with She-Ra

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

ha ha ha ha! there are few that can beat her.

it's almost like if we didn't have words, we would still have the appropriate icons...hmmm.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

oops...i forgot to icon it!!!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

lol

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

There's actually a meme where you just have conversations in icons.

Why the hell did Eve exist when they could have had Zombie!Lilah as the liason to the partners?

At first I was like "because Lilah was just way too cool for Adam and had a better time birthing demons?" before I remembered that that's Lilith and we are talking about Angel. *g*

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Dude! Ares > Mars! It was all unambiguous!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Haha... well they are both biblical names and all.

I actually thought about the confusion this question might cause non-Angel saavy people because of that.

[caitiedidit.livejournal.com]

I think you picked, like, the ONLY three shows I'm not watching!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

That is made of fail!

[carrielh.livejournal.com]

Not that I wouldn't have loved Lilah in S5, I think in "Home" she said something about her being back a one-time-only deal. I mean, she's still under contract, but I'd assume she's in some kind of hell dimension?

Plus, Eve was a pretty big part of Lindsey's big plan, passing him info from inside W&H. *shrug* I'm not the hugest Eve fan, but she had her moments.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I would think that having to hang out in Wolfram & Hart and watch Wes and Fred finally get together would be hellish enough.

The main point is that there is no reason that she couldn't have been assigned to the task. She's not in hell in the conventional way, because she's just still working for W&H in death. That could take any form if the show writers had wanted it to.

There could have been other ways for Lindsey to get information. I just found Eve really insipid and it made me not like the Lindsey plot as much as I might otherwise have.

Think about all the way more interesting interactions Lilah could have had with Lindsey and everyone else. Because there is actual personal tension there whereas Eve is smug wimpy and one dimensional.

In realityland, because Stephanie Romanov wanted too much money.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

See that's an explanation that makes sense. I can grasp that concept.

(Although obviously I feel it is too bad that it was the case)

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

I think that Bones won on her own, if he let her win it would have just seemed cheap, she's an adult now and she can win all on her own. I think so anyway.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I kind of think she probably did win on her own but that if she hadn't been able to he would have let her.... you know? Because she's Bones and she wins at stuff... but he's also manipulative.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I tihnk he really is trying this time.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I think to him that would be trying. I doubt Max Keenan is big on losing, and she criticized him for not doing so when she was a child.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I tihnk if he let her win she would know and it might just make her more angry, not sure.
