Running Commentary on Angel...



OK, Connor doesn't deserve to be smacked. For that. Lot of other stuff, but not that.

Hey, the Magic Eight Ball got another line! It must have a good agent.

OK, everyone was drooling over Evil Angel because of his leather pants. Gotta say, Evil Cordy's fashion sense didn't get the same treatment. Though just about everyone noticed that by now.

OK, by now I'm totally seeing the whole Laius/Jocasta/Oedipus thing, except that Jocasta didn't actively set up Laius's death.

I think we've finally got the reconciliation between Angel and Wesley. "Why should you care?" "Because you did." Sounds like this isn't just an alliance of convenience any more.

Hey, it's Skip! Still as laid-back as ever. He and Whistler are cut from the same cloth, no?

Eep! So Skip's actually in league with Evil Cordy?

Er ... Connor, maybe you should start asking some questions sometime? Anytime? Now is good.

Owie. Even through the smackdown, Skip and Angel for the pan-dimensional title's gonna leave a mark.

Damn. Hate static.

OK, Connor, you're beating up on innocent virgins. Hear that ringing in your ears? That's an alarm bell.

Ah ... so Skip's the mercenary type, huh? Still got the snark, though.

Sacrifice of innocent unsuspecting virgins? Yo, Connor, you think something GOOD is gonna come of that?

OK, how twisted is it that Connor's good angel on his shoulder is *shudder* Darla?

"My life for yours." Uh oh, maybe not the best tack to talk someone out ... oh, I see where she's going.

OK, all of a sudden Skip's snark isn't funny any more. Except ... hey, the bad guys can slip up too!

I never thought I'd say this, but you tell him, Darla!

Gunn's either going to have a way expanded role next year, or he's toast, I worry. That speech is not what you get from the muscle.

OK, I think Connor's past the point of no return now ... and Cordy's going to have a hard hard hard road to come back ... if she ever does.

(Commercial break. Aw, heck, looks like Sosa's not getting Number 500 tonight. Sorry, Perri...)

Connor Angel, congratulations. You are now a murderer in the first degree, with aggravating circumstances. That's a paddling. And more.

Earthquake country. Hey, anyone from LA, that's like, normal, right?

Yo, Connor, getting the same message from both Mom and Pop, maybe it's time to listen?

Since when did Wesley become Chow Yun-Fat?

OK, I'm pretty sure I saw something Call of Cthulu-like before Zoe appeared.

Executive producer Joss Whedon. Who has obviously been smoking oregano.



Close entry.

Also with the worrying about Gunn. Did you notice the complete lack of guilt about ElectroGirl? Did Fred and Gunn split, and I just didn't notice, what with the apocalypse and all?

Yup. Splitsville.

First there was the guilt over the Prof in November, then there was the estrangement, then there was Fred's WesleyMacking, then there was weirdness, then there was jealousy, then there was WesleyPummeling and FredAccidentalSmacking, then there was Gunn Getting a Clue, then there was FredWaffling, then there was the It's Too Late talk, then there was a sweet, tender, It's So Very Over Between Us kiss from Gunn to Fred the week before there was Gunn&Gwen-ness.

So, no guilt.

Re: Yup. Splitsville.

Ahh. I think it was the It's So Very Over Between Us kiss that threw me. Apparently I don't know the difference between that and the Hell Let's Get Back Together After All It's The Apocalypse kiss.

Well then, Gunn may snog ElectroGirl as much as he likes.

Darnit. On several levels.

He didn't get it? Damnit. *pout*
Perri hasn't seenit yet, she talked to me right after I watched, I told her how totally frustrating the cliffhanger was, and since she had to wait 'til midnight to see it, she decided to pass until tomorrow when she has time to calm down before bed. Expect screamage around 9pmCST.

Connor Angel, congratulations. You are now a murderer in the first degree, with aggravating circumstances. That's a paddling. And more.

Quite a lot more. You will be quoted, Bruce, as soon as I know that everyone I know has seen this. Gah. I just... I feel for the kid, but, GAH. Oh, man. I could kill Holtz all over again for setting him up to be messed with like this. But I could really *hurt* Connor for being so wilfully blind.

Since when did Wesley become Chow Yun-Fat?

Since the Rain of Fire, when he went after the Beast with the same slo-mo action-hero moves. He gets to look pretty while shooting things now. It's his badass trademark. They wouldn't give him Angel's duster back.

OK, I'm pretty sure I saw something Call of Cthulu-like before Zoe appeared.

EXTREMELY Cthulu. Not un-pretty, but not likely to get a date with eight heads and wings. Yikes.

*Really* looking forward to how they're dealing with this next week....
