Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

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

I can't even lay odds on Wes. It seems just as likely they will as they won't.

One thing, though. I often find Joss's episodes to be a bit unsatisfying-- as if he was helicoptered in as a special guest writer. He doesn't quite have the characters down; some of his concerns are not the same as the arcs. For that reason, I expect to find this episode a little bit like that. On the other hand, perhaps because *this is it*, he will exceed all expectation. I certainly hope he's had some kind of end fo Angel in mind ever since the beginning-- if not of Buffy, than since the Shanshu prophecy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Illyria and/or Lorne. Wes will survive.

Bell's co-writing, which should help.

The evil is this way?

Wes will die. *sniff* MY Scruffy!Wes will die. Mostly because joss loves to torment me so.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Another favorite moment: Nutty, talking about Dead End, calling Lindsey's truck "The Hickmobile of Sexually Confused Jealousy." I laughed so hard, I almost choked.
