Im not sure how Número Cinco can be considered racist. Just because the characters were Latino?
People unfamiliar with Mexican pop culture and Lucha Libre thought that the episode might be mocking it.
Of course, Lucha as a genre is just as silly as superheroes in tights and the episode was clearly an affectionate tribute.
I can see if you didn't know how
actually
silly it is, portraying it that way might make you ooky. So ask the question I guess, but you're on shaky grounds.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Numero Cinco" is the greatest hour of television ever made. I love that episode more than just about anything.
Mark's coming up to a good run on Angel, with "You're Welcome" tomorrow. That should be a balm for his Cordy loving heart. Then "Smile Time" and "Hole in the World" soon after.
But today's video of him watching Dollhouse and getting to the Alpha reveal in "Briar Rose" was the best.
He's watching Dollhouse before he's finished with Angel? I know they don't share a universe, but somehow that seems wrong to me.
It's actually going to be kind of awesome because he'll get the Amy Acker How Do You Act experience with Illyria and Whiskey.
because he'll get the Amy Acker How Do You Act experience with Illyria and Whiskey.
And Illyria being Fred, and Whiskey being Dr. Saunders.
I don't know how "YOu're Welcome" will hit him, but I'm looking forward to "Smile Time." That song still pops up in my head occasionally. His reaction to "short bus bastards" should be amusing.
Somebody needs to make Mark watch the original pilot for Dollhouse so he can see exactly what Fox did to the show. And I'm sure the "extra" episode will just confuse the hell out of him.
