Whistler: She's gonna have it tough, that Slayer. She's just a kid. The world's full of big, bad things.

Angel: I wanna help her. I want... I wanna become someone.

Whistler: God, jeez, look at you. She must be prettier than the last Slayer. This isn't gonna be easy. The more you live in this world, the more you see how apart from it you really are. And this is dangerous work. Right now, you couldn't go three rounds with a fruit fly!

Angel: I wanna learn from you.

Whistler: Alright.

Angel: But I don't wanna dress like you.

From the episode 'Becoming part 1'.

Happy birthday to Liam/Angel!

Quote of the day:

It's hard to get past the shipping wars that nearly wrecked the fandom back when seasons 6 and 7 were on the air. Some of us have long memories.

This is why I like reading articles from newcomers.
