If you've got friends on your flist who watch shows you love for the first time, you get into rewatching. If you have friends who want fanfic from you, even more so. karabair wants me to write a Connor and Wesley post-Origin, pre-NFA-story, after I made the mistake of mentioning the idea to her, and I probably will. (I'll also probably do a big post of character love for Connor - as written and played on the show, just to make things clear - as hobsonphile has been wondering what I see in him, and my answer probably wasn't enough.)

In the meantime, thoughts upon rewatching some Angel episodes. For some reason, I started with Are you now or have you ever been...? in season 2, which I think manages to be a splendid stand alone and a continuity heavy ep at the same time. Also, Tim Minear deals way better with MacCarthyism than he does with the Nazis in Hero, so even if I hadn't loved him already for his flashback episodes at that point, I would have for this one.
