He slumps back against the couch, exhaling shaky with laughter. "Oh man, hah, okay, where to fucking begin? Like they did a spinoff show about Angel, who ugh what a fucking Neanderthal forehead, I don't know how anyone would want to get on that, but there's just no accounting for taste."
Eliot pauses a moment, self-conscious of his little personal rant. Technically that's part of the Angel thing but probably not what Sunshine was asking. "Shit I'm sorry," he says with a smile. "Fuckin, I can't start with the Angel thing it came after, let me see if I can remember how it goes, like," He clears his throat, and attempts to say with a straight face:
"Into each generation a slayer is born, she alone will have the...whatever, the strength to fight the vampires and the demons and the mayor who turned into a giant snake and ate their principal, it was like wacky high school dramedy like 'oh no I have this mystical destiny burden and I gotta worry about algebra?' Totally tropey magical girl stuff but I mean, it was funny shit, they made it work.
"So like, back in Ye Olde Englande in olden times or whatever there were some vampires, and one of them was frowny mc forehead and the other one was...what's her face, husky whispervoice vampire and they like turned this dweebus milquetoast William into a vampire and it was crazy and there were explosions and ponytails, and then in the 90s he showed up in Sunnydale all Sex Pistols and shit with the, with the hair," Eliot makes a vague wiggly-fingered gesture intended to represent truly awful dye job.
"You know the hair, and he had a crazy girlfriend who liked dolls and like, like he started out as this pretty badass villain and he ended up as more of a sidekick, kind of like, the guy they bring to punch demons in the face and shit, and, okay I didn't really watch Angel because ugh what a bland sad sack but like he was a vampire who got his soul put back so he's all angsty and tortured like 'oh the burden I bear is so heavy I have to use my powers for good,' and Spike showed up at some point? And I remember seeing part of an episode on TV and there was a puppet."
