From Buffy to Bakerloo

Last Thursday my theatre class saw 6 Degrees of Separation at the Royal Vic. Apparently it's supposed to be a pretty popular production at the moment, if not highly reviewed. Anywho....I didn't realize it until today in my Theatre class when we discussed the more finite details, but one of the main characters was played by Anthony Stewart Head, who was Giles in the beloved teen series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (gasp at the celebrity!). I was still pondering the wonders of this finding as I walked the platforms from Hammersmith and City to the Jubilee when who do I see but Giles himself?! Tall, greying-in a dashing way, and everything the fictional pedagogue should be in real life. I wanted to tell him all kinds of nice things but it was rush hour and I figured, well, no one wants to get stopped in the tube at the most hectic time possible, even if to be complimented. So I watched him go down the escalator to the Bakerloo line and pleasantly smirked the whole ride back. I've been doing that a lot here.
