a few notes of randomness

- Kate Lockley is much more awesome than I remember her being.

- Josh is cute, but very frustrating when he won't stop crying.

- Caramel slice needs more crushed biscuit in it, next time.

- Cross-stitch takes FOREVER.

- Terry Pratchett is rather fabulous.

- I should never take BtVS season 4 out of my collection and leave the rest sitting there, because it means I currently have an eyeless Buffy staring at me from across the room... with her disembodied eyes sitting elsewhere, and also staring at me.

- Nephew-wrangling is an elite skill, and should come with a manual.

- There is such a thing as too much chocolate mud cake.

- Angel wearing hawaiian shirts is rather hilarious.

I've been a Kate Lockley fan from pretty much the very beginning. I love the sense of, like, reality that she brings to a show that so often wanders off into such crackiness. If a driven, hard-bitten cop was confronted with what she's confronted with, I'd expect the cop to react pretty much as she reacts. Ats really needed that reality check now and then, I think, and there was a real hole when she left.

There really was. I wish they could have found a way to keep her around more.

I think they needed less "a way to keep her around" and more not just booting her off. I couldn't see much reason for her to leave at the end of S2, other than we seemed bound and determined to chuck several of our most interesting secondary characters about then: Kate, Lindsey (until S5), Dru, and for the most part Darla.

I think I heard that she had some actor conflict and they needed to kick her out. But yeah, very sad.
