I was going to complain about the stereotypical Italian mother in Rizzoli and Isles, until she walked into her daughter's apartment and immediately starts cleaning the kitchen. That is so my mother.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I know she was stereotypical, but I loved the delivery in this exchange between them. "I hope your brother's okay out there.... Your father's out there too." "You brought DAD!?! Did you bring the dog, too?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah. I wish they hadn't gone to a "this case is personal" place so fast, but that's a minor quibble. (Also the mom does not seem old enough to be AH's mom, but whatev.)
Mostly I liked it more than I thought.

I'd do that too. As soon as someone took the snake into a building on another block in another city.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, that was great.
