I was watching that episode with a neurologist who rock climbs on the weekends. Commentary flowed. At length.
Heh. I'm so used to Bad Climbing on tv and the movies, I almost don't react anymore. This time I was just glad to see they didn't have them both on toprope for no discernable reason. I could comment at length about the setup, including the fact that there was no real reason she should have fallen there, but whatever. It's like being a cop or lawyer and watchign a procedural: it's just wrong and you have to suck it up.
I see Echo as more of a prostitute than a rape victim. She didn't have much of a choice before signing that contract, but I'm sure that many prostitutes feel they have no other choice as well. Echo gave up everything, whether or not the contract is legally binding, she knew she was giving up her free will. It's equally tragic to me, but it is an important distinction for how I see the show.
Oh, oops. Thanks for the reminder, Liese.
moving my response there as well, unless it duplicates someone else's.
AV Club: You’ve done several personalities over the course of 13 episodes. Do any stand out as particularly fun to do?
Eliza Dushku: I did love playing the blind cultist in an episode from Tim Minear, who is one of my favorite writers, who has been with us since the Buffy days, and Angel as well.

Oh, dear. Tim will never escape.
Or maybe he's the one lying.
Well, when he came on board Angel they were still doing fairly heavy x-overs, including the Faith ones in season 1, and he was showrunner during the ones in season 4. So from her perspective he was there.
But can the witness place him working on the Buffy set during a Buffy shooting?
At this point I half expect to find out that "Dean Grossman" or "Dan Vebber" was a pseudonym.
