This Sounds Terribly Familiar...
Mar. 20th, 2014 09:06 amAnyway, the recent issue of the BtVS comics with Spuffy in the 'friend zone' brought up the discussion and at some point I mentioned that by now I find myself rooting for the pairing of Captain Hook/Emma Swan* on Once Upon a Time, not so much for them per se, but because I'm rather tired of the fact that the anti-hero in perpetual unrequited love never seems to win the girl's romantic love. Since shapinglight isn't a Once watcher, I googled YouTube for reference material, and look what turned up...
Listen to that voice over.
That voice over isn't from Once. That voice over is familiar! It's very familiar. In fact...It's SPIKE!
That is Spike's Spuffy monologue for goodness sakes!
Since it's unattributed in the vid, I suppose they think that the shared accent and similar voices makes it seem sort of Capt. Hook-ish. But not only have I watched too much Buffy but I've listened to too many Dresden Files audio books not to recognize that voice.
That's Spike talking.
* In the "Once" universe, Emma Swan is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. And Peter Pan is straight-up narcissistic evil.
