My So-called grrrrr.

[offbalance]

So, I'm watching the episode of My So-Called Life entitled "Life of Brian," and:



I didn't remember exactly why I hated Angela until I saw this episode. Yes, she's self-centered, swoony, annoying, and completely obsessed with a boy with the intellect of shoe polish. But until she totally blows in on Brian's life and trashes his chance with Delia for reasons that I can't even FATHOM, just makes my blood get all boily. And never mind how big of an idiot Brian is - pining away for this total fucking idiot and blowing his chance with a perfectly nice girl just so he can make some play for Angela? GAH. I just want to throttle both of them. Not to mention the fact that Rayanne is a giant flaming bitch in this episode, too.

The only person who was allowed to have any dance-related angst in this episode is Rickie. Seriously.

omg I know!


Do you think that it was a blessing that the show ended when it did, that that fact makes it as incredible as it was. Like if it went on, it wouldn't have been so wonderful, or remembered as such?

Heh. That's kind of why I think the show and the character are so brilliant. Angela can be hateful. I'd always assumed if the show went on we would have seen more of her maturing and swings between being self-centered and emo one episode and then amazing the next. In season 1, it's like we see the amazing Angela peeping through but then she acts like an idiot too.
