Sep. 3rd, 2015 11:55 amStoryteller is hard to watch. The whole 'it's good to get lost in a story' thing shown all dark side. It's squirmy and difficult because about all I got is stories.
It also persistently irritates me that at best they did the emperor clothes joke with Andrew thinking he's in the close. They kept hinting really loud that he's crushing on Xander or Spike, they played the Warren 'never really loved... hanging out with us' thing for a joke but the way Andrew reacts to 'Warren' coming back is... it's actually really sad, especially if for him it's the exact same thing that Tara talking to Willow would be... um, this was a sentence, it got away from me. But, I mean, they do stuff like that to laugh at, and like he's a joke, and they never fix it. Xander making jokes about going gay doesn't help. I like that Willow's love life gets to be a love life with important personal development and moving on, but I'm not happy with the guy side of things.
I do like the thing about repentance they have going on, and forgiveness. Like the whole ex demon team doesn't get to go for happily ever after without repentance, but when anyone tries to get stuck at the blaming themselves stage, they get moved on, with fairytale kisses even. And then forgiveness. But they don't get to skip a step. Andrew had to actually face what he'd done, he couldn't skip past it going lalala redemption arc now. Is good.
