Okay.

Did you see who's going to be in next week's episode?!??!?!?

Select to view spoiler:


Andrew!!!!!!



Also,

Lots of Lindsey. His vision-having? Not convincing. Doyle's was much more painful. Speaking of Doyle, what's with him taking Doyle's name? I thought Lindsey was going to have a different alias. Has Lindsey met Doyle? I don't remember. It was great how they paralleled the first episode. Lindsey = Doyle. Angel = Spike. That girl in the alley = Tina. So Lindsey and Eve are against the senior partners and against Angel. Who's side are they on, anyway? Gotta love Joss's dream episodes! What was with the bear??

Gotta say I loved it. This season has so pulled me in. Hats off to David B as well. I have that image of the mail boy in the geeky tie ingrained in mine brain. JOSS now & Forever!!!

Yeah, weird echoes back to "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco" -- another superhuman who became more and more irrelevant to important matters as time went on, leaving him in the position of mailboy.

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

Just saw this ep (Tivo!)...I loved it. It was sweet, how Spike was the hero, and Angel's gang were the bad guys. Man, this show has so many main charactors right now - Angel, Wesley, Gunn, Fred, the Host (forget his name), Spike, Harmony, and now Eve and...damn, forgot his real name...the dude who gets 'visions'. I mean, this show started off with three dudes, now there's three times that. All working for at least three differant factions - Angel and the gang, Spike is alone, and then there fake Doyle and Eve - who aren't on the same side? They can't be. He ruined her plan, did he not?

I just love how Spike and Angel are rival heroes. What a fascinating plot; both trying to help people, through differant means. Spike took Angel's old job...that's so sweet!

Anyways...it was cool.

My favorite ep of the season, though, has gotta be the Wesley dad one. Man, at the end, when

he shot his dad like that, without hesitation

...that was sweet.

Whedon does better with an ensemble cast than just a few people.

The "fake Doyle", btw, is Lindsey MacDonald, former junior partner of Wolfram and Hart. He was in most of the first and second seasons of Angel.

It would be truly bizarre if the Powers that Be actually DID decide to back another candidate, and "Doyle" actually was having some manner of visions. It already seems clear that he's become some manner of magician, judging by the runed tattoos he's got.

Overall I think that unlikely, though, what with the collaboration between Eve and Lindsey. It still leaves the question of why exactly they're pursuing that course, though... since Lindsey and Angel parted on relatively good terms.

I think it would be cool if Lindsey got visions and it would make sense what with Cordy out of the picture (for now). It's not like she did the Doyle thing and kissed someone before she died..partially 'cause she didn't die. But Lindsey's such a faker. I'm just waiting for Spike to let it slip to Angel "Oh yeah, I met this guy, Doyle, who sees visions." That would freak him out. And then he'd be all confused to see Lindsey.

Perhaps Lindsey is still mad about the "cops suck" thing. hmm...A grudge can be a powerful thing.

LOL! That's what I was thinking when Lindsey (that's his name!) first showed up. Because, Angel and Lindsey parted as friends -- well, non-enemies -- so I wonder why Lindsey would now be working against Angel? Is it just because he hates W&H so much, regaurdless of who's running it?

Personally, I really hope that Lindsey's visions are legit, and he really does team up with Spike. I've really like Lindsey's charactor scince he left W&H - the evil hand scene? OMG that was hilarious! "But you didn't have what it takes: an evil hand! But who does, really? Johnson doesn't; Smith doesn't. You guys do know you gave me an evil hand, right? I've been writting 'die, die, die' all over everything. It's crazy!" Then he takes that gun, and fires three shots at his boss... "I just can't control my evil hand." Then he slaps - what was her name - on her ass as he walked out of the room, and scolded his hand...man, I rewound that whole scene like 5 times (Tivo).

Anyways, like I was saying...it'd be sweet if he and Spike team up, and there were two concurrent plot lines in the upcoming eps - Angel&crew, and Spike&Lindsey. They'd be sort-of against eachother, yet on the same side...it'd be awesome.

I just can't control my evil hand!

Ok, I don't have season 1 Angel on DVD, yet. So I can't check this myself. I know in the first season when Spike came to town to take back the gem of Omara, he met Doyle. Did he just never know his name? It was just bothering me as far as continuity was concerned.

Lindsey did leave on fairly good terms with Angel, but remember that Lindsey was totally in love with Darla. If he found out that she staked herself to save the baby that Angel impregnated her with, I don't think he'd be too happy.

I wonder if Lindsey would have been affected by the Connor memory wipe...?
