Who wrote that episode - I've forgotten? Was it Edlund?
Written and directed by Jeff Bell, and yeah, it captured everything that was strange and magical about los luchadores.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The thing I liked the most about the episode? Nilly's review.
I liked the leaves on the floor. Just the visual. That was OiS, right? Dang, I'm sleepy now and really REALLY need to put the laptop away and go to bed.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
That was OiS, right?
You are remembering correct. Where River thought she was holding a branch, but was really holding a gun.
No force in the 'verse...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I loved Numero Cinco, but to me it felt more like a short story set in the Angelverse than a chapter in the novel that was AtS. And I'm a novel girl.
ETA: And that's really the core of my Firefly mourning. It had the goods to be a nice meaty multivolume epic, but all we got was a little novella.

Oh definitely. Had it come any later in the season, I'm not sure I would have loved it quite so much (once things started getting arc-y I mean). But as it was - MWAH!

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
My favorite is "Objects in Restless Gas. With Feeling."
Hmm...how about "Hush, we're Becoming Objects in Restless Gas that makes you Smile (Time) and does Not Fade Away. With Feeling.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'd pick "Prophecy Girl" as best hour of TV ever. With "Innocence," "Once More, With Feeling," "Rm w/a Vu" and "Reunion" all duking it out for second place depending on my mood.
While not my favorites per se, the strongest emotional reactions I've had have been to "The Body" (weeping uncontrollably) and "Smile Time" (laughing uncontrollably).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco"--the single greatest hour of television ever produced.

If there was an episode that season I came close to hating, No. 5 had to be it. I just didn't get it. I have no magic.
I can't pick A favorite, or even five favorites, among the three series. There were so many wonderful eps, so many wonderful moments in meh eps, so many meh eps in wonderful arcs...
TV will not see its like again, I'm thinking.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Victor is me - I would far rather have seen a season of Los Bros Numeros than the last season of Angel. Although he's not me, because I love all the btvs Joss Stunt eps - Hush/Restless/The Body/OMWF - more.
