Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

And I hated Smile Time. And the Mexican wrestlers one, too.

ChiKat

I hated them, too. But, I also did not like Season 4. I'm just a hater.

I thought I was a little glam, but it turns out I'm a hater, too. I thought I was the only to hate Smile Time.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Oh no, lib. I hated it really hard. REALLY HARD!!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"Say what you will about Kevin Smith, his women characters have agency."

Uh, well sometimes. Because you've seen Clerks, right? Fucking a corpse who you mistakenly thought was your boyfriend isn't a great display of agency.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because you've seen Clerks, right?

He does get credit for a learning curve, though, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fucking a corpse who you mistakenly thought was your boyfriend isn't a great display of agency.

It's not a terrific use of agency, sure, but it's hard to argue that she was the passive one in that situation.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

And the Mexican wrestlers one, too.

I do not get the love for this episode. i spent most of it wishing for the end. HAAAAAAAAAAATE.

Smile Time wasn't awful, but it certainly wouldn't be in my top 10.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I do not get the love for this episode

...there's love for this episode? What? Where? And for the love of God, why?

Look, I don't hate it, but it was like watching those pieces of art (or just porn pictures) that makes you tilt your head, trying to reappreciate the object in question. And, well, I think I maybe can appreciate this episode in question. From far away. Without watching it, or trying to see the 3D painting hiding behind it. Only in this case, it seems like there wasn't a 3D painting.

I'll stop now, because there's a limit to the number of metaphors I can scramble.

It has luchadors! AND midget luchadors! And ghost luchadors! If it'd had ghost midget luchadors it would have been perfect.

I dunno, I think Bell's sense of humor is very close to mine, so that's a big part of it. Bitter, crabby Angel usually entertains me. And then it's a big signpost pointing to the finale, so bonus points for that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Numero Cinco is perhaps my favorite Angel episode.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

This is the single best hour of television ever created. Bar none.
