Angel: You look like hell. And not the fun one where they burn you with hot pokers for all eternity, but, the hard-core one - you know, Nixon and Brittany Spears.

You look like hell. Not the fun one, where they burn you with hot pokers for all eternity, but the hardcore one, you know, Nixon and Brittany Spears

You look like hell. Not the fun one, where they burn you with hot pokers for all eternity, but the hardcore one, you know, Nixon and Brittany Spears - My favorite season 3 episode, well, this one or 'A New World'. The episode is tensed, shocking, sometimes witty and depressing. 'Wesley' continues to amaze me, his scene with 'Holtz' and 'Justine' was brilliant - Angel and the people I work with are my family and when I say I don't want to see anyone to get hurt I mostly mean them. The most tensed scene was when he was trying to take 'Connor' and was read by 'Lorne' and had to knock him out. Then of course when he got his throat slit by 'Justine', I remember crying a little bit when I saw the episode for the first time, I thought our dear-old friend was going to die. The other powerful storyline was 'Angel' being fed 'Connor's blood and acting like a blood-oholic, and his scene with 'Lilah' and his sworn enemy 'Sahjhan', well, not that he remembered the swearing. My favorite scene of the episode, and probably of the entire series, is when 'Holtz' takes the baby to a hell dimension 'Sahjhan' opened, 'Angel' was completely devastated - Let him suffer'. SAHJHAN: I have a lot of work to do. I can't be in every time/space at once, and here I find you drinking with my sworn enemy. ANGEL: Sworn enemy? Really? Have we met? Because I don't remember swearing. LILAH: Sahjhan, he found me. ANGEL: So, you all are in cahoots. Ethereal time-traveling demon, you're the screwball that brought Holtz back. How's that working out? He's not very fond of demons, is he? SAHJHAN: You will learn nothing from me. LILAH: Other than that you're his sworn enemy, who brought Holtz back, and when that didn't work out, you came to me. Idiot. SAHJHAN: Hey! You think my life is easy? I'm jumping from one dimension to another. I don't always have sound. Sometimes it's just a visual. Saw you two sitting here all chummy. ANGEL: So, why do you wanna kill me? LILAH: He wouldn't tell me either. Not that I need a reason. I was just curious. Did he boink your demon bride? Eat your mother? (10 out of 10)
