Fantastic episode!!!

Both the funniest and the saddest ep of the season (if not the series).

Cordy: "Uh... Spike WHO?"

roflmao!!!

Thanks ME!! Fantastic job!

It was great to have Charisma back and in such fine form. She didn't have to come back. She could have pulled a diva on Mutant Enemy like a certain Scooby snack is doing at present.

Oh well... this just means Charisma actually outlasted SMG in the Buffy-verse since they both started on the same day.

If I remember correctly, SMG originally auditioned for the part of Cordelia but was offered Buffy. To quote Artie Johnson ... "Very interesting ... but stupid." :)

So observant kittens and cats, how old does quoting "Laugh In" lines make me?

Just a note for those who missed it because of basketball (though I've heard it's supposed to air Saturday? may want to check local listings.)

If you can't find the ep up on Kazaa yet, try buffy.nu. Just install bittorrent, and you have easy and instant access to great-quality Angel eps. Highly reccomend it.

ETA: Teach me to skim down the list. I see it's already been mentioned! Ah well. Another can't hurt, right? ;)

Highlights:

- Wes saying "You look hot" and "old school"

- Harmony: "I'm evil. I can beat her up."

- "One for the road."

This episode was the most Angel-like episode I've seen all season.. it really brought thoughts and memories back from watching the first few seasons. IMO it could have easily been the series finale and I would have accepted that and cherished it. That was 50 times better than the buffy finale even.. ug.. i miss doyle.. :(

I was under the impression that it wasn't Charisma that wanted to leave the show, but rather the producers (or whoever's in charge) who made the decision to get rid of her.

My thoughts on this episode were that had they never come up with that stupid Connor storyline, Cordelia would still be a regular on the show. I may be in the minority here, but in my opinion, Angel has gone downhill ever since the episode where Holtz stole Connor.

I really hope that next season, they find some way to bring Cordelia back, the show is not the same without her.

I thought it was a good episode, and Charisma was in fine form ... in every sense.

David Fury is great with the plot and action, but not one of the best at the humor, and I thought the jokes could've used a punch.

In a way, I found the ep underwhelming, because it was just a one-off that wasn't all that dramatic. I mean, the ending was done so ... casually.

But I decided that was best. To have given it a big heavily scored, sob-for-twenty-minutes ending, to blow up all of Los Angeles or have really long speeches and, like, people cradlilng broken, bloody bodies and crying, "NOOOO!" (anti-spoiler, I guess: that's not what happens).

It was a really classy finale for Charisma, and finding a way to salute Glenn Quinn was equally classy and charming.

But all through the episode, my wife is saying, over and over, "This show SO needs Cordelia back." Her brief reappearance, sans all the possessed-by-evil, elevated-to-higher-whateverhood crap, just demonstrated how much she brought to the show.

And, man, I don't wanna get spoilery, But the discussion between Angel and Cordy about the course of their relationships and feelings was absolutely perfect.

"Bang."

It was the quiet ending - the way the phone call would actually come from the hospital - the 'realness' of a completely unreal situation.

As soon as Angel turned and Cordy wasn't there, I knew. Just as I knew when the wedding ring hit the floor in "Sixth Sense", I knew.

I'm a grown woman and I'm not ashamed to admit, it stole my breathe, closed my eyes and left me fighting tears.

Lovely way to say goodbye to Cordelia.

You know what?
It's times like these I get really pissed there's no WB in Virginia.
Guess i'm stuck watching last season's eps on TNT until next year.

If you're not happy with the fact that you don't get a WB station locally in your area, Dish Network offers a Superstation Package among their other offerring which includes 3 wb's and 2 upn's. It was my way around their not being a local WB affiliate. Plus the WB affiliates are from NY, Denver, and LA which makes some of those frustrating time conflicts less so because you can see a 9:00 show at 9:00, 10:00 or 12:00. I don't know if Directv offers anything similar.

Meh, i'm poor. Guess I'll just use BitTorrent, unless anyone can upload the latest episode onto my FTP server.
