Let's take a moment to enjoy Lorne in his fabulous gold
bathrobe.
Lorne: "Keep your pants on -- oh, I
see we're a bit late with that advice."
Lorne: "If you'd taken much longer
to hit your bottom, I'd have kicked it for you."
Lorne: If you're
just gonna switch back to brood mode, I think we'd prefer you evil 'cause,
y'know. Leather pants."
Nice Zuzu's petals reference, btw
So ... a Skilosh army can be scattered by a battered old truck?
So ... a Skilosh can gestate and be nearly "done" within hours?
'Cause it took forever with that little girl.
I was really struck by how disorienting that had to be for poor Cordy. I mean,
all that visual information is just pouring in without context on top of
everything she's already getting from, y'know, her own eyes.
Must be like having a vision.
Then the parallel between what Angel did to Darla and what Kate did to Angel.
The cold "Thanks. Get out" thing. I hadn't noticed that before.
It was nice seeing the FangGangers working together again, even with all the
trust issues. I couldn't believe Wes was able to stand at all, though, because
he couldn't even reach his gun to protect his life a few moments earlier.
I loved the bonding between Gunn and "The Wheelèd One," however. Very
cool.
Darla: "It was my payment."
Lindsey certainly demanded a lot of details about making love with Angel, yes?
I did enjoy the metaphysical SLAM on Darla's snootch. "You're not evil? I
don't accept that. I been around for 400 years and before that, I did this
professionally."
Hm. I should have such perfect "despair" with Julie Benz.
Wes should be able to say "ass" on network television.
I thought the Powers might have been a little late with that whole, y'know,
vision thing. Think they got tied up in traffic?
Wes' commentary on Cordelia's character (misremembered) – she's seen this
city's pain and because of who she is, she has to do something about it – is
another piece of the puzzle proving that Skip is lying in S4 "You turned
away. She does not have that luxury."
Wes can be one stone cold mother.
I'm so glad Kate's found a kind of peace with Angel and herself. "I was
cut a huge break ... I never invited you in." I've no doubt we're gonna be
seeing a lot more of that girl in coming episodes.
And I loved Angel's response: "If nothing we do matters, then the only
thing that matters is what we do." Brilliant! I want to stitch that on
pillows.
Anyway, I really loved "Epiphany" – especially Angel deciding to come
work for them. Angel catching Cordy at the end was a little trite, but it's a
start on the road back to trust.
Very, very nice.
