Hey, it’s like a metaphor

The flower jasmine has been compared to vampires twice in the Buffyverse. In I Only Have Eyes For You:

Drusilla: “Wow! Look. Jasmine.”
Angelus: “Night blooming.”
Drusilla: “Like us.”

And then in Angel’s The Trial, Darla says of the jasmine in the courtyard at the Hyperion Hotel, “Hmm, jasmine. It blooms at night. I remember what that was like.” Season four’s entity Jasmine was named after the same plant looked at by Darla.

      And then the whole Jasmine thing in Angel’s 4th season. Well, it doesn’t have to do with vampires and night blooming but there is definitly a reoccuring theme of jasmine in the Buffyverse.

      The Jasmine arc in “Angel” was, in my opinion, Joss Whedon’s lowest point. It was dreadful. The man was phoning it in, at that point.

      I agree.

    4. slightlyembarrased says:

      Yes, but do you agree for the sake of agreeing..or simply to hold on to you much coveted and hotly contested Number One spot on the “Most Vocal” list?

      Naughty girl….

    5. mairceridwen says:

      neither that or either both of one or the other

      “Naughty girl…”

      wouldn’t you like to know

      “wouldn’t you like to know…”

      Wouldn’t you like to know how much I would and/or wouldn’t like to know…you know?….

      I’ve said the word “know” so many times, it has now ceased to have all meaning…

      I actually thoroughly enjoyed the whole Jasmine plot arc. I love the entire pace of s4 of Angel, how the action flows so well from episode to episode. Good times.
