  1. Angel would win hands down for me! I mean, of course I owe my love of that show to Buffy...I mean, I was totally obsessed with it when I was younger & that's probably the reason I started to watch Angel in the first place but I dunno, looking back, I can't really see why I was that excited about it. Sure, there are episodes I adore but I have to say the episodes I don't find so interesting outnumber them by quite a bit. Okay, obviously there are episodes of Angel that I don't love as much as the others but that's not really because I find them uninteresting, it's just kinda because of the characters. For example, I don't really like the whole Connor arch (basically the end of season 3 & I dunno, you could probably say a bit of season 4 too) but that's not because I find the episodes are boring...it's just I hate what they do Wes & I really can't stand a certain pairing. So yeah, I think in simple terms, the reason I love Angel so much is because I'm probably more attached to the characters than anything else & that's down to the fantastic way they develop them throughout the show. For example, Cordelia goes from a stuck up b***h to an awesome heroine & Wesley goes from the complete idiot we're introduced to in Buffy to, as Willow put it in Angel season 4, Malboro man. I'm not saying they don't do that in Buffy it's just it's kinda more profound in Angel from my point of view 'cos for me I really didn't have much of an opinion of Wes other than the fact he was an idiot but by the end of Angel he'd become a character that you could totally identify with and grow to love (you can tell he's my favourite, can't you?) Anywho, I'd probably rate Buffy as 2nd, Dollhouse as 3rd & Firefly as fourth (because I really never got into it) Sorry for the rather long comment by the way
  2. Don't really use MSN all that much but I'll try and make an effort mine's x-touchstone-x@hotmail.co.uk
  3. me toooo and me it's become somewhat of a daily ritual
  4. Same here Luke...apart from the first con thing, I've been to a couple but I've always had someone with me (the only con anyone ever talked to us was Bad Wolf 2010) anyways our mini convo's on YouTube have got me totally hyped up...I reckon this will be the best con ever!!
  5. Bones guests would be amazing & a con would be even better. The cast are all amazing and I'm sure SM would increase their profits if they invited any of them
  6. Okay, so my votes went to: Misha Collins, Richard Speight Jnr *'cos for some reason I absolutely love Gabriel* & Mitch Pileggi (aka Sam Campbell/Mary's father )
  7. Think I might have to do the same as I don't want to end up dragging my mom along (as she's the only one in my house who knows where the White Horse is) well i will be in lobby and will make nikki shout to everyone about the meet up so ur welcome to come walk up with us x Aww, thank you
  8. Think I might have to do the same as I don't want to end up dragging my mom along (as she's the only one in my house who knows where the White Horse is)
  9. at least I'm not the only non Thistle attendee who's kinda up for it...I'll have to take a bus back to my house, that'll be....fun
  10. Count me in, it'll be a laugh
  11. Haha, I honestly think I'd die of happiness if Alexis was announced, he'd be my dream pick, but I refuse to hope for him, so I don't have to deal with the inevitable disappointment if he's not announced. Haha, same here Think I'll guess...urrrmmm... Tom Lenk or if we're lucky maybe someone like Vincent Kartheiser
  12. Going as a generic lab tech don't actually have a lab coat though so I'm planning on rocking up in this white shawl/coat thingy (point is it kinda looks like a lab coat even though it isn't...well my mom thinks it does) hopefully I won't look like too much of an idiot
  13. Is it funny that when I read the thing about lab coats, I was actually imagining Wolfram & Hart's science department
  14. To be honest I'm kinda glad he can't attend seeing as I can't either but seriously this campaign actually proves he's a real life angel (if ever they existed) ...aww bless him, I'm totally donating even though I'm kinda broke.
  15. Hell yeah! to the mini gig, not so sure about the dressing up but count me on board anyways
  16. I'm one of the possibly lucky ones as I don't have to pay for a hotel ....In other words, I'm coming from Bedfont (which is about maybe 20mins max away from the Thistle) not so lucky in regards to how long I can stay at the parties though
  17. Though I live locally I'm not actually that sure (as I don't usually head down that way) but I'm pretty sure that the 285 runs along Bath Road *EDIT .....I Googled it a couple minutes back and this looked pretty helpful (at least I hope it is) http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g1912...ex_England.html
  18. Okay, so in no particular order... 1. Buffy - I owe my love of the whole Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre to that show, as a kid I was totally hooked on BTVS and now I'm a total Sci-Fi addict (not sure if that's actually a good thing or not though ) 2. Angel - It's a brilliant show and my utter fave outta the whole Whedonverse 3. Fresley - The best pairing outta the entire Whedonverse as far as I'm concerned!! Fred & Wes were just so cute together 4. Smile Time, A Hole In The World, Shells & Not Fade Away (yes, having them as one point probably is cheating but I don't really care ) Angel Season 5 - From comedy to tragedy, puppet cancer to heartbreak....ATS Season 5 had it all, it was television at its best 5. Once More With Feeling - Best BTVS episode ever! 6. The Cast & Crew - Probably some of the most talented people on the planet 7. The Fans - Though I've never actually met any of you guys (this'll be my first Whedon con) from what little talking I've actually done with you all both here and on FB, you seem like a brilliant and lovely bunch of people 8. The Music/Soundtracks - Utterly amazing! I know that more than a few from the Buffy/Angel soundtracks are on my top 25 most played 9. The Comics - A brilliant way of keeping the shows alive 10. Joss Whedon - The man deserves a medal or a knighthood....you know what, somebody give him both
  19. Sounds like a great plan to me, I most definately second the opinion to get Amy & Alexis could try and get the comic writers/artists for the Buffy comics and Angel: After The Fall too, that'd be great but I'd be happy with anyone really
