How did it come to this?

[angelchicken]

I am so out of the loop! Who am I?

And, I can't believe I even have to ask this but . . .

Since when does James Marsters have kidS.

Where did the plural come from?

HOW DO I NOT KNOW THIS?

(inquiry prompted by the last question in this interview.

Sweetie, his kids are, like, legal to VOTE. They've been around a long long time. As had, you know... Marsters.

However, in his attempts to continually pass for 30 for a big chunk of the last decade, he tends not to mention it.

ETA: Okay, I apparently misremembered. Cos it says in his IMDb bio, his son was born in 1996. But I swear the kis was in his teens already when JM was on Buffy....

Ah, see, I knew about the one. Who I thought was a teenager, now, too. But I forgot about the niece and Sweet Ail reminded me.

HA! I remember when James finally came out of the age closet. Silly James, trying to pass for thirty!

Haha, I sadly know this. He only has one biological son with his ex-wife, but he takes care of his niece. But he tends to refer to them both as his kids.

Thank you! That makes much sense and actually pings a bell, like I knew this but had forgotten. I was just afraid he had had another baby and I had somehow missed it.

THANK YOU! I feel much better now.

Man, I have got to remind myself not to read his interviews. He's so fucking bitter about BtVS and it always pisses me off. I swear, I think 50% of my always rooting for him to find new roles has to do with my wanting him to get over it and stop whining.

I would have liked [Spike] to have chosen to sacrifice himself.

WTF? I guess that cements my decision to not take his opinions on the show seriously. Does he actually remember the series finale at all?

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeedy. It has been a very long time since i have read a JM interview and I only clicked this one on a lark. I am glad that I did because of the reminder that I don't necessarily love him when he, you know, talks about stuff. And I hate his Buffy-bitterness. It makes me mad and sad.

And I KNOW! I just skimmed right over that one. Freaking James.

Thank goodness for Spike. HE CHOSE TO SAVE THE WORLD!

Well gosh, who knew going from a recurring 3-5 episode role to a romantic lead was such a hardship. Poor James. No one gets how unappreciated he was.

His response about the reunion annoyed me too. Can't just say it was nice to see everyone, huh? Nope, they're all a bunch of wimps who wanted to talk about how great the show was as opposed to telling stories about how victimized they were on set and how they had to go home and cry in their bathtubs.

OMG. I'm as bitter as he is!

Okay, I was going to click on the link, but after reading these comments, I'm going to do my blood pressure a favour and pass. I used to love him as Spike (although I wasn't a Spuffy and he wore out his welcome big time in Angel S5), but he gives me hives now. What a fucking moron.
