One of the worst episodes in TV history it could be added to the list of episodes such as the one on Miami vice when the vice squad went on a alien hunt.This episode totally deviated from the series original concept, it just did not make any sense: geeky scientists, time freezing devices, i mean whats next, the angel crew busting ghosts with proton packs in downtown L.A? The main reason for this mediocrity in my opinion n is that joss and the fox crew were running out of ideas.They even tried to turn angel in to a carbon copy series from Buffy.They sent things in motion to make angel return to his prior role on Buffy,a muscle head(sorry a champion).Promoting Wesley as the leader you know former watcher, British scholar(Giles).Introducing Gun,loudmouth(Xander) and the most obvious one, Fred brainy,nerdy(willow)But this just did not work for 3 reasons:1-Buffy was still on the air,therefore why would anyone watch a Buffy formated series when you could just watch buffy.2-angel was for to a more adult audience.3-angel was the star of the show and he just could not have a secondary role.Fortunatly they were able to recognize the mistakes and correct them on early season 3.Mainly by reinstating angel as leader and boss and relegating Wesley to his real role(a brainy scholar).Let,s see:freezing yourself in time while you having sex with your lover that you already know is going to dump you?What ever happened to the old cinema break up reactions clichés(stalking,harassment, etc).Well it seems that the fox crew preferred time manipulation instead.The story line of this episode could have work on other series(weird science,quantum leap) but does not belong on Angel.Conclusion:Idiotic,absurd,ridiculous,senseless, and pointless.The only thing worth seeing on this episode is the Denise character played by Darby Stanchfield, but still waste of air time.
