Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I don't think so... but I'm not positive. He was trying to think of rhymes, but I don't think he read the whole thing.

Right, just the last two lines.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The senator's just a desk jockey in her campaign headquarters?

I got the impression it was a very important phone call. If a candidate wants to use the phone, she or he uses the phone. There was no evidence she was taking calls like a volunteer. Logical scenario is she got a call and sat at the desk.

The devil goes to the same restaurant every day?

What, evil can't get in a rut?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She probaby got a call from Rumsfeld, telling her he knew of a place having a sale on sacrificial babies.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Hee, this makes me think:

"Senator found dead by axe murderer, surrounded by mounds of dust. Film at eleven."

Given that she was a W & H client we can expect Rush, Fox News and the current administration to demand an exhaustive (and civil liberties threatening) investigation.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And, going back to the poetry, one that always gets me is Cavafy's "Thermopylae":

And greater honor to those who foresee As many do foresee That Ephialtes will be there in the end And the Medes, they will get through

Question: What is this stuff everyone's talking about about Joss being at the end of the episode? I just did it via Bittorrent, and, um, nothing there.

Sure to be an x-post, but it's people in shock over the "Produced and created by Joss Whedon" happening when it did.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Gandalfe, you know how, after the show is over, it goes to a black screen with Joss's name? (Like Angel saying "You're all fired." Then -- black screen, Joss Whedon.)

I think what people mean is that it seemed like it ended too soon, like there was still some action left to go, and yet -- Angel said "Let's go to work," and then black screen, Joss Whedon.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

I won't delete it from the tivo until I've seen it again, I don't want to see it again any time soon ...

"I can't go on, I'll go on." It's a metaphor for the whole show.

This ep was the first Angel or Buffy to make me cry since Becoming part 2. It was perfect from start to finish.
