This episode is practically thoroughly awesome. There’s Lilah’s plot to use Angel as a pawn, and everything related to that, as a kind of episode-plot, but at the same time, there’s lots of stuff related to the season plot arcs — both the Connor one and the Cordelia one, to the extent that it’s possible to separate the two. On top pf all this plotty goodness, there’s also quite a bit of neat character stuff. Practically every main character has a relatively huge moment of their own — Fred makes her first real contribution to Angel Investigations, Wesley’s just Wesley (which is enough for me), Lorne’s as awesome as ever, Lilah acts in an unnormally unneurotic way for most of the episode, Cordy shows that she’s really evolved, and Angel is great all through the entire episode, just to mention a few — and the interaction between them are also neat-o.
More good stuff, too, but I’m currently unable to work it into this post (or even phrase it, for that matter), so I’m just gonna leave it at that. So I guess I’m off to write 3-4 pages about international capital movements in the 19th century. Yayz0r for ridiculously low page requirements…

You dare use the Abomination in a post on “Angel”? Have you no shame?

Shame’s for puritans and prudes, Loki.

Besides, I thought you’d stopped caring about my use of the “Abomination”?

I’ve stopped to care about it personally, yes. I still have enough sympathy for you as a person to wish to try help you avoid the worst blasphemes.

I don’t believe in blasphemy. If something divine exists, I think of it as being rather elevated above what humans may or may not think of it.
I do, however, believe in respect and disrespect, but I don’t feel I’m disrespecting Master Whedon by utilizing a semi-popcultural reference in a post in which I sing his praises, especially not when I have such an ironic distance to the word as I do.
By the way, do you think Joss Whedon has one of those “Joss Whedon Is My Master Now” t-shirts?

” I think of it as being rather elevated above what humans may or may not think of it.”
Indeed. However, I don’t think the same about the humans thinking it of it.
Has one? Probably, somebody is bound to have given him one. Wears one? Dubious. Maybe at home, on his birthday, in secret, or something. By the way, ever see the youtube-clip where fans are going about a con interviewing people as though they were Joss Whedon and then suddenly running into Joss Whedon himself, and then interviewing him as though he’s NOT Joss Whedon, and he totally playing along? Hilarious!

I’ve heard of it, but never seen it. I’ve never been able to get any youtube clips to work, unfortunately. I think it’s because too many ports are shut on our router, although I’m obviously not sure.
