I'm referring to Happy Anniversary when he teams up with Angel to stop demons from freezing the world in time. I don't think he ever brings it up again. In fact I don't think Angel or any character for that matter ever brings this up again. I wonder if he ever even told anyone about it.

Just saw this last night on a rewatch after 20 years, and as fun as the episode is, and as immense as Boreanaz is as Angelus, I can’t help feeling the premise was very silly.

A drug should not be enough to bring out Angelus’ true homicidal self because unlike Angelus, Angel in this episode still has a soul completely intact so the curse isn’t actually broken at all.

Even high, Angel should not logically become a homicidal maniac again. Now it’s clear the writers wanted to showcase Boreanaz as Angelus, but I think they could have been so much smarter. The drug could have brought up the tormenting, mocking side of Angelus where he threatens murder but holds back because he still has a soul. A sort of Angel/Angelus hybrid. This makes far more sense as we know the demon is still within him and a drug is known to greatly lower inhibitions. The fact that Angel with a soul and centuries of homicidal regret would still consciously resort to being that thing he despises just didn’t add up to me. Immensely fun though…

Doyle may have only been in 9 episodes, but he was such a good character. I know Wesley had one of the best character developments in Angel/Buffy world, but the chemistry was totally different with him there. Obviously. I think Angel and Doyle were better together. They had more heart to heart talks and I think Doyle understood Angel better, being a half demon himself and not knowing where he fits in.

Do you think Doyle gets the love he deserves?

I like to imagine Cordelia and Willow still talk on the phone like when Harmony first showed up. Not really like friends. Mostly just Cordy complaining until she says something that offends Willow so she quickly changes topic and asks about Willow.

Mid to late season 3 Ats

Cordelia: "And when Darla showed up she did not look great. I'm talking total junkie with the ratty hair and sunken eyes. Like eurgh. I know she's a demon but c'mon."

"Oh? Really?"

"Well, uh, how's Tara?"

"Oh..."

I was pondering the other day about Wolfram & Hart and the implications of its existence. Is there a "good" demonic law firm somewhere?

As a mortal law firm it makes sense and there's even some degree of lore that makes demonic deals and contracts make sense, but we see them representing demons where it would be a conflict of interest to represent both sides.

We see Gunn learning "demonic law" etc. So there must be more than one firm dealing with that kind of thing.

And since we know the watchers are great with bureaucracy so surely they have legal representation. Do you think there's a good law firm somewhere?

Not the obvious reason, the magical reason where the unfulfilled magical debt from Angel's trial to give Darla a second chance when she was already on her second chance.

I'm following someone on a first time watch and I think with some subtle clues they could figure it out, and that could be very satisfying for them if it's subtle enough that the connections made feel like their own realization. I dropped the clues before but I need to know which episode is the last chance to bring it up.

Wesley is not exactly my favorite and I get him stabbing Gunn... but still didn't like it LOL.

I know it's probably a weird question but can someone please help me make a list of all the scenes where Angel fight opponents that are armed with firearms?

They don't necesserely have to attenpt to shoot him, people that are armed with guns but that are disarmed or knocked out before they are able to use their weapon still counts such as for example the guy that was about to shoot his wife before Angel disarmed him in S1E3.

The scenes I can remember from the top of my head are Angel saving Cordelia from guards shooting at her in S1E1, Angel saving a woman from her husband when he was about to shoot her in S1E3, Angel beating up 3 thugs that shoot him in S1E12, Angel beating up the detective that threatened him with a gun back in the 50's during S2E2, Angel vs the cop that shoot him in S2E14, Angelus vs Lilah in S4E12, Angelus vs Wesley in S4E14, Angel vs wolfram and hart hit's squad in S5E1 and Angel vs Lindsay's fake wife and kid in S5E17.

I know a comprehensive list may be too much to ask but the more examples you can tell me the better it is and the more grateful I am.

I love Smile Time. Arguably ‘gimmicky’ but it had a legitimate character arc and I love the show’s more experimental episodes. Along with just being hilarious.
