What! That's cool.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

Yup! What? You thought we only had an "ita moon" to our credit?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And the leather pants reference Lorne makes to Angel, right? After his Beige Angel period? (Possibly in "Happy Anniversary"?)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I also bullied Tim into admitting that Cordelia wouldn't carry a stake in her purse in case Angel went bad, especially after she found out that a Taser would work on Vamps. So he upgraded her to Taser.

From Mark's review of "Gone":
The only thing I worry about is something happening that would trigger Willow into using magic.
I have a feeling he will come to regret that phrasing...

After the whole Spuffy kerfuffle he casually mentioned that there probably wouldn't be anything as controversial in the season yet to come.

I've seen it discussed, here and elsewhere, about Wesley's tendency to assume whatever option hurts him personally is The Correct And Moral Choice. Mark's review of Birthday suddenly got me wondering whether it was a general thing the show says, in light of Cordelia's choice to keep the visions and be demonized. Angel seems pretty willing to accept punishment, but he has a lot of genuine guilt. Do you think Fred or Gunn are ever put in that position, or other characters?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think the show is a lot about self-sacrifice, which with Angel and Wes tends to involve some self-hatred. NSM, with Cordy, Fred and Gunn.
It's a little weird to me all the Cordy love over there. I mean, I do enjoy the character but she wouldn't be in my top five in the Whedonverse.
I'm as taken aback by the Cordy-love as I was by the Xander-hate.

On Angel? Cordelia is strongly motivated by guilt and the desire to make up for past sins. Just like Doyle and Wesley. It's not as big an ongoing thing for Gunn but he's certainly drenched in guilt for his introduction.

That definitely comes from Mark. I'm curious if he's even going to even recognize how badly they are treating the character (for the various reasons they did), and I'm REALLY am curious what his feelings are going to be for the character when we get to "Why do you think I let him out, you bitch?" STAB!
