EPIPHANY
The Good; All of it, just magnificent, especially love the Lindsey/Angel fight and the truck crashing through the window.
The Bad; Anyone?
Best line: Gunn; "So what, you had a epiphany? Just wake up and bang?" Angel; "Sort of the other way around"
Jeez, how did they get away with that? Even though it's just plastic you wince when Angel smashes Lindsey's hand
Apocalypses: 5
Angel Clichés Damsel in distress; 18 Cordy this time around
Inverting the Hollywood cliché; We all expect Angel to lose his soul but he doesn't only Buffy can do that to him
In disguise; 8
DB get's his shirt off; still off from last week so yes 12
Cordy's tattoo;4
Cheap Angel; 6
Fang Gang in bondage: Wes and Gunn at the house Cordy: 5 Angel: 9 Wes: 4 Gunn; 1
Fang gang knocked out: Cordy post-impregnation Cordy: 11 Angel: 12 Wes: 5 Doyle; 1 Gunn; 1 Lorne; 1
Kills: 1 demon for Angel and one for Wes Cordy: 5 vamps, 1 demons Angel; 22 vamps, 32 and 1/2 demons, 3 humans Doyle; 1 vamp Wes; 2 demon Kate; 3 vamps Faith; 16 vamps, 6 demons, 3 humans. Gunn; 5 vamps+ 2 demons.
Fang Gang go evil: Cordy: 2 Angel: 2
Alternate Fang Gang: Cordy: 2 Angel: 6
Characters killed: 35
Recurring characters killed; 5;
Total number of Angel Investigations: 4, Angel, Cordy, Wes and Gunn
Angel Investigations shot: Angel: 10 Wes; 1
Packing heat; Wes for the third time with his shotgun Wes; 3 Doyle; 1 Angel; 1
Notches on Fang Gang bedpost: Cordy: 2 ?+Wilson/Hacksaw Beast Angel: 2; Buffy and Darla Wes; 2; Virginia and the bleached blonde
Kinky dinky: Darla and Angel have sex three times. Darla considers herself very good in the sack as she's been doing it for 400years and used to be a professional. She asks Angel was she "Not good?" which is exactly what Buffy says in Innocence. Lorne suggests that Angel give Darla cab fare (I had a friend who always said that if a guy does that/cooks you breakfast afterwards it made you a prostitute. Strangely she is now an unmarried mother). On that topic Cordy impregnated by a demon against her will for the second time. And we always thought Xander was the demon magnet? Of course if you like that sort of thing you can always just Google Monsters and Angels/GOT fetishism
Captain Subtext; Apparently the way to tell Angel and Angelus apart is that Angelus wears leather pants? Keith Topping suggests that at the end of the ep Lindsey is 'struggling with his sexuality' but I'm not so sure?
Know the face, different character; 2
Parking garages; 5,
Buffy characters on Angel; 14 Wetherby, Collins and Smith. Angel, Cordy, Oz, Spike, Buffy, Wes, Faith, Darla, Dru, Master, Anne
Questions and observations; The PTB decide to save Kate, well you would, wouldn't you? How much do I love Lindsey as a lonely drunken teenage buck with a pink carnation, pick up truck, cowboy boots and sledgehammer? Angel uses the 70s term 'pad', well he was about back then, a groovy cat if there ever was one. Angel smashing Lindsey's hand is SUCH a powerful moment, even when you know it's plastic it still makes you wince. Goodbye to Kate who leaves LA, changes her identity and becomes a district attorney in New York before returning to Angel in season 6. Angels observation that if it all means nothing then the smallest act of kindness means everything is just wonderful. Lovely ending too with Cordy being caught by Angel, the gang is back together.
