Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?

When Angel and Darla have the knockdown, dragout fight before The Sex Of Pure Despair (or actually, before they start to fight). I loooooove the way he kisses her.

I've always called it the "Mad Crazy Vampire Sex." I loved the mad crazy vampire sex.

There are so, so many moments that I love. Too many to mention, but really almost any scene with Angel and either Darla, Holtz, or Connor was just fantastic. (Ditto for any scene with Wesley. Wesley just reading a book is better TV viewing than anything else on the networks.) For the shear pain and tragedy, Angel and Connor's shopping mall scene in Home is my favorite moment.

"I really do love you, Connor."

"So what are you gonna do about it?"

"Prove it."

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

My dad made a point of mentioning, in his toast at my wedding, that there are more lawyers in NYC than there are rats.

By most accounts there are far more rats than people here. (Varying accounts.) Even if there aren't there are certainly more rats than lawyers. But there are a lot of lawyers here, by which I mean the city. There are also a lot of lawyers here, by which I mean this firm. It's much quieter here than at W&H.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Then my "Bon Bon meets Jeff Alberts" paranoia can rest.

Ha! All week I'm working on defeating a claim his firm is making as a third party to a litigation I'm involved in, so....

You're using your powers for evil again, aren't you?

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK, bullshit poll time.

According to the promo, tonight "one of Angel's own will not survive."

Question 1: Does this mean someone will die (if a vampire, being staked = dying)? If not, what does it mean?

Question 2: Who won't survive?

I'll start the answers. (1) Someone will die. (2) It's Angel himself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

(1) Someone will die. (2) It's not one of Angel's own, but some ancilary character.

Of course, I never guess things right.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

Heavy paraphrasing here, as I've only actually watched the run once.

Man, I dug the big Buffy/Angel fight from the episode where Faith turns herself in.

'You hit me!'
'Well, not to be all schoolyard about it, but you hit me first.'

'What happened to you, man?'
'I had my throat slit and all my friends deserted me.'

'Nobody scream or touch my arms!'

'Let's go Sparky! This heart ain't gonna cut itself out.'

'This will do.' was creepifying as all hell.

'Why can't I stay' poked my sad button pretty damn hard.

Cordelia vs Eve

Ok, the first ep where Cordy got demon impregnated. You know the twenty foot tall one? Wes is standing in front of it, dukes up, 'Do you have any hobbies?'

ETA: Poll question: 1) Someone's gone gone gone. 2) It's Wes.

Wes. Dead dead deadski. Major blaze of glory time for the guy who used to scream like a woman.

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

Connor. Dead Connor.

Um.

1) Multiple people will die 2) Ilyria and Wes. I have various half-baked theories as to why, but they're not worth going into right now.
