Angel 5x16

I thought it was a good episode. A few bumps but nothing major. And two scenes really took my breath away.

The first was the first scene with Amy Acker as Illyria (one L or two?). Fred's baby voice has always grated on me (I hate baby voices , it's one of the major reasons I hate Anna on The O.C.), so to hear Amy Acker speak like that really brought a new dimension to her performance. She blew me away.

The second thing that took my breath away was near the very end. It wasn't so much the scene, as Wes' very hesitant "yes" in response to Illyria's question of whether he's doing it because she looks like Fred. I almost burst into tears from a simple yes! I was (and am) tired, but I'm thinking there must be something to that response to evoke such a strong reaction from me. Man, it nearly killed me.

That's all the news that's fit to print.
