They took great care in Seasons 1, 2 and 4 to underscore that Angel and his alter ego aren't really two entirely different identities. They were portrayed as such in "Orpheus" when it was the demon versus the soul on a metaphysical level, but in practice Angel remembers the things he did while evil as things he did, and uses "I" in reference to the period. We've seen that he still possesses the same kinks and darker urges when his soul is in command, he just represses them. I think all that the bliss did was remove his inhibitions and show that he's a REALLY mean drunk.
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.

Did anyone else see CC on Charmed?
She looks utterly fantastic, but it really showed how much the ME writing and directing made the most of her acting skills.

Huh. Hiccup.

Trust my rage
I saw her, but I actually turned off the TV before the end. The sisters' whining was just too much. I agree with LJ about ME making the most of her. It was weird because I just finished watching AtS S4 and I just loathed her through the entire last half of the seasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The sisters' whining was just too much.
I made hearty use of the FF button. Damn, that was annoying beyond the bounds of the device. I get that the usual plot is to have something go awry that makes them act funny/have to hide things, but this was a bit much.

Art Crawl!!!
I thought that CC looked very good.
The sisters were incredibly annoying.
But I thought that CC did rather well.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
My roomate is a huge Charmed fan. (I know. It blows my mind that, as we watch it, she says "I never got into the whole Buffy thing." She also squeals when 7th Heaven previews come on.) But at least I got to see CC.

the bad thing, ita? they've done this storyline before. not exactly, mind you, but enough to make me roll my eyes more than usual at the show.
CC looked fantastic.

What is even happening?
Oh, Lilty. Is she at least neat, timely with the rent, a good cook, or something?

Hey. New board.
The funny thing is that I've seen about 3 episodes of Charmed, but I still tell my friends that like it: "Look, Charmed is nothing but three fairly attractive but as annoying-as-hell people arguing all the time until something bad happens and they're in danger until they say, over and over and over again until you want to shoot them, "The Power of Three will Set us Free" (which, by the way, is one of the worst rhymes I've EVER heard), and then the thing that's put them in danger dies. This, plus really really bad side-storylines about lovers and things."
AND THEY CAN'T ARGUE WITH ME.
I hate that show with a huge passion.
