Goofs

When Fred is in the lab with Knox, and she shows him the picture of Tommy, the picture she shows him in the 2-shot, is not the same picture you next see in the close-up. The 1st is taken from the right side of a hospital bed, and shows a child with his arms at his sides, and his eyes closed. The 2nd, is of Tommy - this time taken from the left side of the bed, his arms are both up, he's smiling, and his eyes are wide open. See more »

All I ever wanted was a "vuppet" for Christmas!
23 July 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This episode is just about perfect as far as I am concerned. Who cares if it advanced the plot or explored any of the characters dark sides or introduced us to a new, more horrifying evil? I sure the heck didn't!!

The angel "vuppet" is the most adorable thing I have ever seen! When he runs and his little legs are pumping I thought I was going to die laughing. Spike poking fun at Angel is hilarious.

I love this episode so much. I love it so much that I even went on e- bay looking for my very own Angel "vuppet". Yes. They are real. Real expensive! But trust me...just as soon as I make my first million I will be the proud owner of an angel "vuppet" And just because I love The Spikester his version of the "vuppet" will be the second purchase I make.

Anyone feeling a little down in the dumps should watch this episode. The name of this episode is prophetic...I smile every single time I watch it.
