And nothing to do with the story that he wanted to tell.

I am starting to like Illyria.....but I'd trade her out in a minute to get Fred back!

I just find Fred totally adorable, and I miss her. Plus, Ilyria just doesn't seem all that interesting to me.

Whether she is herself, Fred, or Illyria, Amy Acker is incredible. I hope she gets lots of work, cause I am going to miss her when Angel ends.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I admit, the blue hair thing? Hot, in a very weird way. I am definitely grooving on it, though. Still not sold on the character, though I do prefer her to Fred. At least, I prefer her lower, sexier voice (kudos on that, Ms. Acker).
So, yes, the hotness does abound. It may be weird, freaky hotness, but it's kinda cool, nonetheless.

I just wanna say that Amy Ackey is a fine woman, to keep in context of this posting. I really just wanted to comment on Amy's acting since she's playing Illyria. Her voice is demanding and her head is almost twitching around like she has more than five senses. Another bravo to Amy Acker for a subperb job playing Illyria with such power and force.

I want to keep Spike as a pet too!
Didn't Illyria grow that outfit?
and yes, we all want to pet Spike...
er, I mean HAVE a pet Spike!
And I really agree: Amy is doing a brilliant job of this, they character has nothing in common with Fred, she has changed her voice, movements and attitude in such basic ways that she has convincingly created a totally different creature (and personally I'm enjoying Illyria way more than Fred!).

Her ability to switch back and forth between the two is what really impresses me...

SOOO NOT TRUE
Cordy was all curves and danger. She came down those stairs all full of maternal belly and belly dancing attitude.
At any given month, half the dancers in the Guild are pregnant and the phones lit up as they all phoned and said, "OHH MY GOD! Are you watching Angel? We must have that outfit!"
