I was sure that you were rolling with laughter back in Season 4 when they gave Rubenstein that "my corner of the sky" line.
It's entirely possible that I was, and have just forgotten. In fact, it's possible that I've had this moment of WTF? several times before. I am my own time loop.
Thank you! I was going to say "Lindsey," but I knew that that wasn't right. Although he also got something chopped off, just not his hand.
I believe it was his head. Through a decisive use of a PDA stylus by Lilah.
That was a very cool move by Lilah, and made her much more than an ineffectual evil-wanna-be IMO. Up to that point, she let the higher-ups at W&H push her around; going over Linwood's head (literally, in this case, as she pointed out) gave her a certain level of ruthlessness that I really enjoyed.
Bwah! Lilah was a very intriguing noirish femme fatale when introduced, had wonderful rival chemistry with Lindsey in the 2nd season, and really came into her own in Season 4. In most of Season 3 she was pretty sad despite getting a few good lines.
I think that the events of "Billy" really shaped Lilah.
OOH. Who was more important to/for Lilah-- Lindsey or Angel?
