howling "Piiiiiiillllottt" to an unforgiving wind.
Especially with Moya being on the far side of a wormhole and all.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

he briefly returned to “Angel” to direct its brilliant Italy-set antepenultimate episode, “The Girl In Question,” but really hasn’t been heard from since.
Having seen the episode, I don't regard his keeping quiet for a while as a big mystery.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So some people say. I didn't take it that way.
That's 'cause you're all wrong-headed and stuff.
Other than two talented writers saying goodbye to their toys and having fun doing it, I get nothin' from that episode of any real value. It's placement in the season was late and unpleasing in terms of the arc, and the message you're getting had already been pretty well delivered in earlier episodes without the use of handy anvils. (Well, okay, there were some anvils in Soul Purpose. But still. Fewer than in TGIQ.)

The evil is this way?
I want to ban someone. ita, can I ban someone? I never got to ban anyone before.
Heh. You can ban me. I've never actually been banned. It's one of my life's ambitions, like skydiving without a parachute and machine-gunning Running with the Bulls at Pamplona.

If I only had a brain...
Actually, machine-gunning the bulls at Pamplona sounds much more sensible.

I actually liked the Illyria posing as Fred for Fred's parents part of the episode. Might be just me, but I find it makes a pretty good, if short, episode just by fast forwarding through the parts with Angel and Spike in them.

"Ciao."
"Ciao."

This is the episode's greatest deficiency, which I personally do not hold against it.
and the message you're getting had already been pretty well delivered in earlier episodes without the use of handy anvils.
I don't begrudge anvils in a farce. Besides, it gave us "Ptooey, we'll speak of it no more!"

Oh, Edain, I liked that part too. And the "Ciao." "Ciao," of course. But it couldn't make up for the rest.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought it was extraordinarily silly, and I laughed like a loon.
