Actually, machine-gunning the bulls at Pamplona sounds much more sensible.

[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.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
"Ciao."
"Ciao."
It's placement in the season was late and unpleasing in terms of the arc,
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.

I kept expecting the Italian head of W&H to do something sinister and interesting. She disappointed me.

I definitely thought she was interesting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, IIRC her cleavage was "interesting."

She was a gun that was brought on in the first act and never fired by the fall of the curtain in the fourth act.
