Funny thing about black and white, you mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray

Funny thing about black and white, you mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray - And the greatness of season 4 carries on, although not as spectacular as the previous episode, it still blows me away. Only one thing that really bothers me is 'Gunn's attitude towards 'Wesley', it becomes almost unbearable. I really wish the zombies had either eaten 'Gunn' or turned him into a zombie, too bad they didn't though. Stephanie Romanov owned the episode, hands down, she looked smoking. As much as I love 'Wes', I really wanted to slap him when he dumped 'Lilah', it's the biggest mistake he ever made but at least it gave us 'Lilah's black and white speech - I don't see your Texas-gal-pal wearing that color. Come to think of it, she prefers black. The whole zombie lawyer thing could not have been better, seriously, too bad all those evil lawyers had to die because of it though and it was also obvious that 'Lilah' wasn't gonna live for much longer *snobs*. I also find the 'Cordy' storyline fascinating, on first watching you wouldn't get what the hell is going through her skull but on rewatchings you'd understand that the thing that is possessing 'Cordy' is just making 'Angel' jealous, that way it can distract him while doing it's evil plans. Oh and 'The Beast' truly owns, I love his devil-ish looks and that he ain't much for talking but instead he's a 'Kill, destroy, Boom' kinda guy. I still can't stress enough how much I love those damned zombie lawyers! Especially zombie 'Gavin', it was a shame that Daniel Dea Kim left the show though. This is another brilliant piece of the season 4 puzzle. CONNOR: What's a zombie? ANGEL: It's an undead thing. CONNOR: Like you? ANGEL: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. CONNOR: Like you. (9.5 out of 10)
