cordelianne: (Xander "I have a tool")
I got this from [livejournal.com profile] karabair, [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue, [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88 and [livejournal.com profile] molly_may, and have to do it because I cannot resist something that lets me talk about my love for the characters on my shows:

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I will tell you my top 3 moments or scenes of them.

I'll do any of my fandoms or shows that I watch: BtVS, AtS, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, Everwood, Scrubs, 24, etc etc (ie. any show you know I watch).

Angel's reaction is just awesome. There is definitely an element of dark comedy in the way it plays.

I just realized that it's probably technically more of an Angel moment. But I like to think it speaks to Angel & Wes's dynamic. And you're right, it's good dark comedy.

Hey, Angel was the straight man, Angel gave the reaction shot, but Wes pulled the trigger --.

Ah yes, it is one of those decisive Wes moments when he's willing to do the morally ambiguous action that Angel won't do.

Also, in season 5, he just seems predisposed to shoot people.

Though it is interesting that he's willing to be a murderer the first time, for Fred, in "Supersymmetry" -- and, even though he supposedly doesn't remember that at the point of "Shells," he once again kills for her.

Good point! He's also willing to murder his father (or who he thinks is his father) for Fred in "Lineage".

It's interesting that someone as basically sweet as Fred brings out such violence in Wes. Although maybe it's because she's so sweet, it inspires those reactions?

I've also noticed that in season 5 how he hasn't lost a lot of that ruthlessness which he gained in late season 3 and season 4.

. . .but he doesn't know where it comes from; no wonder he's confused.

Though I wouldn't use murder re: his actions toward not!Roger. He's acting to defend Fred (though possibly by way of overkill) -- Wesley has already decided by the end of the episode to interpret what he did as helping Fred; but it's worth noting that earlier on, when the cyborgs attacked him and not!Roger in the office, Wes moved quickly to protect not!Roger. I think his protective instincts are on display there, at least as much hatred of his father or wanting to do something for Fred.

Ah yes, Wes can be very protective. And he only shoots not!Roger once it's clear he's a threat and up to no good.
