beccaelizabethRewatched Band Candy.
Not enough Giles. Not enough Ethan. I typed not enough Oz, so my subconscious has an opinion on that.
Shirtless Angel kind of... Well, shirtless Duncan katas look a lot better.
But very fun episode.
Oz is so sweet. Just in general, but specifically the way his face lights up when Willow walks in to the Bronze unexpectedly. Totally cute.
Ethan has few moments, but they're interesting.
In particular this time through I noticed
Trick: Demand's high.
Ethan: I thought it might be.
Trick: That's the reason I love this country. You make a good product, and the people will come to you. Of course, a lot of them are gonna die, but that's the other reason I love this country.
They stop walking, and Trick steps over to the man inspecting the boxes before they get sealed.
Trick: Hey! Don't sample the product.
Man: But I didn't.
Trick grabs him by the overalls, pulls him into a headlock and jerks his head around, breaking his neck and throwing him to the floor. Ethan looks away in distaste. Trick straightens his jacket and checks his pinky ring. They continue to walk.
Ethan: Okay. Uh, how did you know he was...
That transcript calls it distate. The script on the DVD specifies that "Okay" is (shaken).
And btw, how *utterly* useless is that DVD format for the script? 94 button pushes to get to that screen! If I wasn't so obsessive I'd have given up before the credits finished.
BUT, my point - if you watch Ethan through that whole sequence, he looks very uncomfortable. Fake smiles, polite to the boss, but his reaction to the death is definitely not gleeful. You get a lot of Ethan characterisations that have him gloating over the pain and death. Well, maybe pain, but the death shook him. Says so in the script. And his reaction to Trick saying "Of course, a lot of them are gonna die," was also not entirely positive.
There are different ways to
(interrupted by cleaner, helpful money person, and trip to the shops, I lose my train of thought and post this anyways)

Date: 2006-07-12 10:28 pm (UTC)I think, partly because of the transcripts, its easier to concentrate on the words, what gets said, rather than how it is said. Or who says it. Giles' opinions of Ethan seem to carry a lot of weight in his usual characterisation, and yet we don't know how well Giles knows him really.
