He read it so well, so much better than he did back when he wrote it.
Actually, it was some stuck-up meanie at the party who took William's poem and read it.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Didn't William read it to Cecily?

William the bloody was beautiful. He read it so well, so much better than he did back when he wrote it. You could just tell that that was what he always wanted, to have people appreciate his poetry, and that got lost when he got vamped.
I loved that I didn't see it coming. His "dutch courage" remark made me think he was just planning on getting totally wasted so he could go out a fight like a maniac. I laughed like a loon when I realized what he was reciting. And it actually sounded good!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
On the other hand...kinda glad they gave short shrift to the fights, cuz, the easy dispatch didn't really make a lot of sense. The senator's just a desk jockey in her campaign headquarters? The devil goes to the same restaurant every day? Which is not to say that's so much a failing. I think the fact that it was pretty easy to go in and kill them all is a deliberate choice. It's about the fighters girding for battle, not the difficulty of the eventual fight.

Well, he wrote it for her, but the poem was taken from him just as he was finishing it. Remember the mean guy making fun of the word "effulgent"?

I thought we heard him reading it aloud while he wrote it.

I don't think so... but I'm not positive. He was trying to think of rhymes, but I don't think he read the whole thing.

They at least covered themselves somewhat with Angel saying that together they were far too powerful to face, but separately, they were just demons. Granted, it would have been nice to see HOW they were powerful together as opposed to separately, but I can hand wave it pretty easily. That, and, what you said about it being willing to fight, not the fight itself.

Right, just the last two lines.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The senator's just a desk jockey in her campaign headquarters?
I got the impression it was a very important phone call. If a candidate wants to use the phone, she or he uses the phone. There was no evidence she was taking calls like a volunteer. Logical scenario is she got a call and sat at the desk.
