Cordy: We could go get a Map of the
Stars and track down Steven Seagal.
Y'know, this episode is so much better on rewatching it. What a great
eppy.
It's, of course, sad that Angel never got to stop W&H and that thing they
were planning. But the drive to get out there and help those hopeless was just
too strong.
Cordy: Nothing says "I'm onto you" by being on the receivng end of a
violent police beating.
OK, Cordy, it took Wes getting shot in the gut. What's it gonna take for you
to drag that stick from out your bottom and accept an olive branch. If you
compared notes, you might find a number of remarkable similarities about your
evening.
Wes did have a good getting shot scene. And the roundhouse decapitation. Very
cool.
Kate: Don't even joke about that in this building, no matter how immortal you
think you are.
Night of the Living Cops: Next stop, donut shop.
It's true, zombies can go anywhere.
Especially when you try to barricade the window with an armchair that is lower
than the sill, Cordy. Sheesh!
Actually, the other part of this is, why stop the ambulance, Gunn? Wes has been
shot in the tummy, and the hospital is where they can fix that. Not the
shelter, you big, lovable dolt.
Cordy: He got his degree in dumb planning at Angel University. He studied at
the feet of the master of planning dumbly.
Cordy should check in when she's managed to survive a few centuries. Just
saying.
Remarkably well preserved, these zombies.
And that Sharp woman, with the upgraded family eyecare plan? "I'll pay you
whatever it takes." I think they should probably have gotten that on tape
somehow.
I do like Cordy's instincts. "What can I do to help?" Very grow'd up
from where she worked at the dress shop.
Actually, I see where they had to stop at the shelter because Gunn had to lip
off to a drug dealer. Too bad he couldn't have run into him anywhere else.
And Kate, looking up the crime stats for 45th Street. "This is what we've
just given back to this community."
You ... prefer the violent zombies?
It's nice Angel saved the day and barely realizes it.
I did like this episode. A lot of classic zombie horror shots. A nice statement
against police brutality and an adorable – if oddly timed – sermon on civic responsibility
(Gunn to Jackson).
And I think Cordy will ultimately come around.
