From what he said, I think I have had that virus before.
Really nasty thing - it makes you feel like your having a heart attack. Called a Minoparacardium (excuse the butchering of proper medical spelling).
It is a viral infection of the heart that starts off with Flu like symptoms. It has known to kill small children. My heart goes out to him. It is still one of the most painful episodes I can ever remember.

Eep, that's scary.
I come here in search of belated explanations:
1) What does MoG stand for?
2) What's the origin of the "talky meat" phrase?
MoG.
Talky meat is from the "Sacrifice" last season where Wesley is seeking a way to crush Jasmine and talks to the crabby demon. Crabby demon calls the vamp he's got and Wesley "talky meat."
MoG is "Ministers of Grace", which is derived from a Hamlet quote "Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us". I think it started over at TWOP, as a term for Angel's version of the Scoobies. (It's in the FAQ)
"Talky Meat" is from "Sacrifice" season 4, the bug-crittier who Wes talked to about Jasmine ("We loved her first"), and the power of blood magic vs. word magic.
eta: or "what ita said"
"Angels and Ministers of Grace, protect us"
Talky meat is from the speech patterns of the Praying Mantis demon from Sacrifice, Season 4.
ETA: way x-posty as I feared.
Ah, thank you all ever so much.

Hey, x-posts are one way of getting this thread moving again....
Okay, I've got something to (maybe) get the thread going again:
What's your favorite Angel (the show) moment that *doesn't* involve Angel (the character)? That means, as an example, you can't say Connor's "My father taught me that," moment, because he was talking *to* Angel.
I'ma go to lunch, but I'm hoping for posty goodness when I come back.
Hrm. The Darla and Dru stuff in Reunion- Particularly their scene in the street where Darla wants to know why.
Fred tazering Connor, because she's a little unbalanced like that.
Faith torturing Wesley, which I loved before, but gained whole new depths of appreciation for the scene 'round these parts.
And I know Angel is in the scene, and even has some lines, but he's not the focus of the scene --
Lindsey's folk-rocky performance at Karatas.
