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.
Me too!

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.

I think that's why I have such love for season two. I wanted Angel to stay "kinda beige" or whatever it was Lorne called him.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
But trust me, if you have a love of Mexican wrestling (not the lousy American stuff) and all the peculiar retro sci-fi junk that went with it (Seriously, luchadores were totally turned into comic book heroes in their day, fighting monsters and stuff -- kind of like what Americans were doing with Kiss in the '70s) and that particular sense of humor: Oh yes. There is much, much love.

I mean, you don't have to know anything about wrestling to love a line like "The devil has built a robot!"
And you don't have to know anything about wrestling to hate it, either. Just saying.
I was pissed off that I rushed home in order to see that episode.

So I gave in and rewatched "The Puppet Show" last night, and ... well ... it wasn't as bad as I remembered it. Of course, this is the only episode of "BtVS" that I've only watched once, I hated it so much the first time.
And I still hate the fucking dummy, particularly how lame he looks stabbing the demon. But you know, the rest of the episode makes up for a lot.

Much as I love Joss and Tim, for me it'll always be "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". "Restless" gives it a good run for its money though.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No opinion on the worst Angel ep. Nothing really stands out for badness.
Buffy? Gotta be "Doublemeat Palace." Hands down.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I actually think The Body is better than Out of Gas, but I love them both.
I watched Doublemeat Palace the other day, and it wasn't as bad as all that. I think, though, it may have benefited from me watching episodes back to back. I also have a very wrong love for Season 6, so...
