What is even happening?
Angel bought Intel in 71.
After he had a soul. Huh.
And we know he has credit cards.
That never surprised me. If my cousin P can get credit cards, anyone can.

I didn't think he was using special powers to keep her alive. More like guilting the El Pollo Loco dude to do a drop and run every week.
Okay, but I don't get why an evil demon would bother with that for 50 years.
I'm clearly overthinking this, and am willing to file it with "how does Angel shave."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Count me in as one of the few who was underwhelmed by AYNOHYEB.
AYNOHYEB: BOR-ing.
phew! i've seen the massive amounts of love for AYNOHYEB here and wondered if i was remembering it wrong or if i had just watched an entirely different ep than everyone else. glad to see i'm not alone. though i do think a rewatch is in order. i distinctly remember being underwhelmed by it though. will report back after i've seen it again. it's been way too long for me to take a concrete stance.

Oh boo WLVI. They showed the "Grr Argh!" this time around. I mean, I'm glad to have it, since I screwed up last week's taping, but I'm sure the rest of the New Englanders just re-watched, if that.

Tonight, I am the Law.
I saw the Finale re-broadcast tonight. I try to keep a running list in my head of either A) pop culture homages as I see them and B) continuity shout-outs.
So, correct me if I miss anything: 1. Hamilton's speechifying during the fight with Angel reminds me of Agent Smith's taunts to Neo in the Matrix trilogy, especially as it pertains to why Angel keeps fighting if no one cares. 2. When Hamilton says "we are legion, we are everywhere," it reminds me of what the demon possessing Regan told the priests in the Exorcist. 3. That red demon Wes was trying to take out. The sound of his voice reminds me of the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.
Continuity references I caught: 1. Harmony's reference to Graduation. 2. Wesley mentioning his training as a Watcher -- "the first rule." 3. Spike and the poetry -- that was classic stuff. 4. The wrist-deployable stakes! 5. Hamilton's references to Doyle and Cordelia. 6. Naturally, Connor mentioning his restored memories.
I've seen some people say the Angel finale was better than the Buffy finale. I agree in terms of plot execution and the wonderful cinematography and camera work of the Angel finale. I still like the Buffy finale though because I think its circumstances were appropriate for the set of characters. Same applied to Angel's set of protagonists. They get a chance to fight. And that is commendable.
