"Smile Time" would singlehandedly justify the entire existence of Angel, as far as I'm concerned, even if I hadn't liked other parts of the show. It was fucking great.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I had major issues with Fred and found parts of A Hole in the World terribly anvilly, but the damn thing worked for me anyway, because of the overwhelming Wes-angst. Even the stupid musical montage, which I hated initially, has been growing on me with re-watch. I feel so cheap.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The choreography of Fred singing/Lorne reading/Fred spitting up blood was superbrilliant.

Joss on Buffy was almost always perfect for me. I think Joss writes Buffy and Spike better than anyone.
Joss on Angel - not as good. I forget the name, but ep1 of Angel S5 was totally flat for me. I couldn't believe Joss wrote it. Also, props to the actors, but A Hole in the World was flat for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Love both "Storyteller" and "Smile Time" a bunch.
Jane's my second favorite writer on BtVS.
Fury or mere would be my second fav on Angel, after Tim.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
For me it would depend on how you define favorite writer. Jane's "Rm w/a Vu" is my favorite Angel episode, and I think I liked "Smile Time" as much as "Reunion" in an apples and orages way, but based on overall body of work Tim definitely takes the prize for me.

SMILE TIME was Edlund, right? Despite the actual presence of Fury in the episode.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
That is correct. (With some help from Joss, IIRC)
