Xander ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Not just on Angel -- he was on Tim's first Angel episode, "Sense and Sensitivity."
Was he the one who was trying to get the mugging victim to listen to the mugger's feelings?
I'm going to be horrified if I'm right, and irritated if I'm wrong. And yet I must know.
I haven't seen the ep for a while but I think you may be right. I can picture the scene and still hear the expression in his voice but I don't remember whether it was a mother and son he was arbitrating between or as you've posited.
The funny coincidental thing about that ep is that one of his college buds played Allen Lloyd, Wolfram & Hart's contractor. It was funny for me to see them both in the same ep.
eta: Shamefully, I don't own it on DVD. I have Firefly on DVD, but not Buffy or Angel yet. I had a housemate who made more $ than me and had full sets. So I had ready access to them when I was living with her. Since then, I haven't been flush enough to get them yet. Though I saw the Buffy mondo box at Costco for $150.
Strega, I just looked at the script and I'm happy/sorry to say...you're right.
BEAT COP
(to old lady/re: mugger)
I hear what you're saying - but I
don't think you're listening to his
feelings at all...
I knew there was a woman involved.
Yeah, that was him.
I'm just shocked that he wasn't on Buffy!
He missed being a hat trick.
I'm happy/sorry to say...you're right.
Hooray, and oh dear. I wish there was an Angel trivia game I could play for money. Then it would be okay.
And so say all of us.
You mean "So say we all!" Cindy.
Or you would if you watched BSG.
And P-C posts what I was thinking. Oh, television what eats my brain.
