Here's something amusing: a series of e-mails during Angel S5.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Heh. That was good, but I think the e-mail addresses were my favorite part.

What is even happening?
Oh lord. No, it was just Redefinition. So he sets Darla and Dru on fire. I mean, sure, it was cool, but it wasn't massive. Or even destructive, since they both survived..
That wasn't the episode where he locked the lawyers in the wine cellar?

Yeah, Angel offed at least a dozen prospective minions, but I suspect it was all in the name of having dramatic BEHOLD MY PAIN AND DESPAIR moments.
edit: Cindy, that was "Reunion," the previous episode.

"Redifinition" is also the one where Angel never says a word to another character. There's a voiceover, but he never talks to anyone (not even Merle when he's dunking him).

I loved that season 'til we ended up in Pylea (which just cheapened it for me, somehow).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It was worth it to me for Fred and her bag of blood, and for that wonderful moment when Angel throws open his arms and delights in the sunshine. No magic rings, no hoodoo of any sort, not a dream, just out in the open air leaning against a convertible with the sun on his face.
Plus, watching the Pylea sequence with a bunch of snarky Faire geeks didn't hurt.

Also, I'm not sure how else we could have gotten Joss as Numfar w/out Pylea.
I'm just p.o.ed that they never followed up on any of it, especially the Wolf, Ram and Hart books.

Yeah, Frank, I remember being blown away by that when I first saw that, all, "Holy crap. Did they think of that when they came up with the name and just waited for the right time to use it? Wow."
I don't particularly think they needed to follow up on it, per se; I just saw it as an indicator that Wolfram and Hart, as an entity and metaphor, was pandimensional.

I thought the Wolf, Ram, and Hart revelation was going to turn into a larger issue about the nature of that particular evil, which is what I think Frank is saying.
