I am certain Mark is sentient.
A couple of his commenters, on the other hand ...
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Mark references Flight of the Conchords in his LoTR review today.
I wonder if he knows about Figwit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know about Figwit.
So I stumbled across an interesting bit of trivia yesterday when looking up "The Harsh Light of Day." Apparently Parker was originally named Parker Finch, according to spoilers? Implying that he would be Deputy Mayor Allan Finch's son? Can any spoilerwhores confirm/comment?

Ha!
Mark and the newbies are still kinda meh on Angel so far, which is fair. I can't wait to see them change their minds, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
P-C,
I liked Angel from the beginning. It just hit the sweet spot for me. When you do think they will change their minds? Hero?

Ooh, that is a good point; the Cordy love is strong with them. And that's followed by "Sense and Sensitivity," which is both hilarious and brings back Kate, whom they also liked. Yeah, that's a start of a pretty good run, and then you get "Hero" and "Somnambulist," and I hope they like it by then, because the "Expecting"/"She" doubleheader will be...something. Except for the fact that we can finally post freely about Angel dancing!
I'm pretty sure I liked it from the beginning too, though.

I was OK with it from the beginning, but it took a few episodes to really make me care, so I kind of feel for Mark and his minions. But as you say, once we get to the stretch from the serious Cordy episode to the return of Wesley, they'll be fine.

Spike's monologue is such a thing of beauty. "Not the hair, never the hair."
