Not to give anything away, at the end all I thought was " No... Joss sucks "

Only on one of his shows you get the emotional rollercoaster like this.

Next weeks looks like it could be fun...

Spike a Nazi ? Looking forward to it

Wait wait...so there was an episode, and the basketball game just meant it wasn't aired here in MD? That f'ing sucks!

Damn it. I'll pay for the cost of a tape and shipping if someone could send me a copy...till then, guess I'll search Kazaa.

...Didn't realize how much I missed Cordy. Pity she's not a regular any more. Loved her whup-arse job on the zombies.

But given what happened to her at the end of the show, and the Mutant Enemy history with similar situations, I suspect we can mebbe, hopefully, look forward to seeing her again.

Maybe her popularity with the fans, as shown in this forum already, will get her back before TOO long.

Nice to see Glenn Quinn on the tape, too. Long live the real Doyle.

Wow.

Last time I came this close to tears while watching TV....

... was the first time I saw "Out of Gas".

Damn you, Joss, for making such emotionally draining TV! And thanks.

As soon as Angel's phone started ringing at the end, I knew what was up. Way cool.

I don't think charisma will be coming back.. she was specifically looking for a way to get her character off the show for good. i think this was the all time classiest way to do it. 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.. :(

It was a solid episode, but I was slightly dissappointed about the whole Doyle situation. My feeling was that when Spike's "source" was figured out to be Doyle, then there would be a whole episode based on trying to figure out the truth about this new Doyle, meanwhile buying time for Lindsey to do some plan. The way it played out in this episode, Lindsey could have used any alias in order to "hide" his true identity from Angel and copmpany.

Am I way off base, or not?

Lindsey chose to use Doyle's name as a way of 'adding insult to injury'.

The long-term plan was to mess with Angel and Spike until Spike was absolutely convinced he was the real deal and Angel doubted himself so thoroughly, he'd be completely ineffectual.

He never expected Cordelia to wake up and throw a "gorilla throwing barrels" sized monkey wrench into the works. Her appearance changed everything.

Yes, he could have used any name. Lindsey chose to use "Doyle" as a joke. Hurt your enemy whilst hiding behind the guise of a friend.

Spike wasn't supposed to give Cordelia a 'taste test'. Lindsey was most likely expecting Spike to drink till his eyeballs turned pink. Angel wasn't supposed to drag Spike of Cordy. Cordy wasn't supposed to be around for any of this.

This episode reminded me why Joss should be elected God or at least, Potentate of Guilty Pleasures.

Cordelia was always my favorite Joss character. Even when she was with the "Joan Collin's 'tude", she was just being honest and herself. And I've always felt that Cordy was the most evolved of all of Joss' characters the way she went from "Queen C" to "A Power That Be".

Charisma was beautiful, as always, and I have been and always be in love with her. But it was a very touching and cathartic way to let her character go. Fans will certainly miss her. And remember, Cordy will never truly be gone.

No, I don't mean that through some kind of "always remembering her/always in our thoughts" stuff. Like in comic books, Joss' characters never die, they just get re-written (or they appear as The First).
