I didn't look. Does the nose come off?
I think the nose is too big.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Probably not -- do the clothes even come off?

I'd laugh if the nose came off but the clothes didn't. Talk about not conforming to DB.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I was just sent an email from a member of the English department at Southern Connecticut State University who wrote a paper on Illyria & Post-Modernism in Angel . The article is here: She’s Unpredictable:Illyria and the Liberating Potential of Chaotic Postmodern Identity

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Continued from the Buffy 4 Thread, as I don't have time to linger:
Then (on an opposite note) was it you who suggested that AMENDS was essentially the first episode of ANGEL the series?
Actually, I think that was me, and I stand by it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think Anne was more the first episode than Amends, even though Angel hasn't yet fallen naked from the sky at that point.

Damn. 0 for 2 on the poster recall. Damn. Still a damn good analysis, and you're right to stand by it.

Interesting stuff, although I think she attributes the remnants of Fred's personality with far more influence on Illyria than the show supports, particularly concerning "The Girl in Question." While there were glimmers of Illyria adopting some of its host's fondness for Wesley and Gunn, it wasn't puttering around the lab and eating tacos as a way to explore Fred's identity. It adopted her appearance and behavior for a specific purpose: manipulating the emotions of the Burkels and sparing itself unpleasantness with the least possible effort. I think the gesture was also a useful demonstration of power over Wesley shortly after he disparaged its remaining abilities.

Oh, Matt's note brought forth something to continue the "heartbreaking moments in the 'verse" discussion:
Change back; be blue.
With my luck today, someone already posted that one in the Buffy thread.

We haven't. "Anne" marked the stylistic beginning, introducing the more "Real World" of Buffyverse!Los Angeles (If LA can ever be said to be "real world") whereas "Amends" marked the beginning of Angel's next journey, his proper search for redemption and the flat-out admission that higher powers were actively involved in his life.
