Unfeathered Notes

I was looking forward to getting to In the Dark in my Angel S1 rewatch and it was just as much fun as I remembered. But the moment it started, I couldn't help thinking of the similiarites with KKBB. Mainly because they both start with James Marsters up on a roof giving us a nice little introduction to his character. And of course because he's basically playing the same part in both of them. Old shag (I would say love but that's not really true in either case) of the leading man - the dark, mysterious, older-than-he-looks leading man - with whom he has a love/hate relationship. Meeting the team and chatting up the girls (Cordy/Tosh/Gwen) and the girls falling for it, even if only briefly. And there's torture in ITD while in KKBB Jack's just got back from the year on the Valiant. Both episodes even end with another rooftop scene and a sunset! (Or is it sunrise in KKBB? I can't remember. Same coloured sky, anyway!)

I know it's nothing deep, but it amused me, and I can't help wondering how much of the mirroring in KKBB was deliberate!

Here's the first of the commentaries people have requested, this one requested by aeron_lanart. Over here at my fic journal.

dune_drd, I have done the commentary on Lessons Learned but I'm sure I have more to say on that so I'm leaving it for a day or two more till I'm sure I've said everything I want to! donutsweeper, I shall probably do Not the One tomorrow. :-)

Nicked off seti_drd.

Post the first lines of fic you are yet to finish.

Good idea, this. Made me go through all the files and realise I have several drabbles and ficlets sitting there which, while not necessarily outstanding, are pretty much finished – so will be posting those at some point.

So that's all, folks!
