Episode in Focus: Why We Fight
This week we are looking at Why We Fight, more commonly known as "The Submarine One". So much juicy new back story, some of it historically inaccurate. That's fun, too, right? So from Monday your time, get sharing whatever you have to share on this week's new Episode in Focus. Meta, vids, art, poems, fic, whatever you got, we want it.
Episode in Focus: Why We Fight
What did you do in the war, Daddy? They should probably do something about the shoddy security at Wolfram & Hart. Just when Angel is shed of his self-appointed main antagonists, another old family member comes to call. That's almost never a good thing. Flashbacks give us some truly oddball vampires of a certain age and a possible beginning point for a government organization that we've seen plenty of on Buffy. Spike indulges his taste for leather and regales us with his rendition of God Save the King. Nostalgia isn't really one of Angel's faults, even if he does seem to enjoy calling people "son" quite a lot. Could that last thing mean something?
LAWSON: May I speak freely, sir? I recognize there's a lot going on here that I don't understand... but those monsters butchered my crew... and apparently they're in the S.S.
ANGEL: Spike's not in the S.S. He just likes wearing the jacket.
LAWSON: Yeah, that doesn't help me understand why we're working with him or keeping him alive, for that matter.
ANGEL: I got him under control.
LAWSON: That's not the point. He killed my captain, sir.
ANGEL: We may be able to use them. We don't have much of a crew left.
LAWSON: I don't think we'll need 'em.
ANGEL: They're extra hands.
LAWSON: They're monsters. And I don't know why we-
ANGEL: You don't need to know why. We gotta bring this sub in. Those are our orders. Isn't that the point? Following orders?
LAWSON: There's a difference between orders... and purpose, sir.

Still have something to share about previous episodes in this season? We're running an ongoing catchup amnesty for anything relating to previous episodes of AtS season 5. We can always stand a little more of the good stuff.
Mod note: The macro was the brainchild of McDiva, so talk to the teen regarding insufficient gravitas.
