Angel 4.01-4.06
I made it six episodes into Angel S4 yesterday. Not a good sign that Weaselboy is in the credits. However, so far, so somewhat better than S3.
4.01 "Deep Down":
• Thanksgiving dinner (of family chosen and otherwise) that can't possibly actually be happening. Oh, show! Don't make me weepy. I'm still cranky and disappointed with you over last season.
• Weaselboy's in the credits this season. Feh.
• Hey, Weaselboy. Get a haircut, hippie. Also, I will not be forgiving you in a hurry (or basically EVER) for letting Fred and Gunn worry and search for Angel for MONTHS when you know exactly where he is.
• I have an idea, guys! MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO WESLEY FOR HELP. Okay, they did. Twice. So ask him again.
• WESLEY AND LILAH, ILU BOTH SEPARATELY AND TOGETHER.
• Wesley has had Justine chained up in his house for three months and has apparently been looking for Angel all along? I think Wesley could teach Lilah a thing or two about deception and duplicity.
• At least Gunn is smart enough not to be all sentimental and trusting about Weaselboy.
• Not a good time to finish what you started in the hospital, Angel. Here, eat Justine instead. No? Too bad.
• Lilah officially rules. Especially because she made Gavin clean up the decapitated head. This show should be called Lilah.
• Fred's not so bad herself, with the richly deserved Tasering of Weaselboy.
• Stay, Wesley! *cries*
• DADDY'S PISSED OFF ALL RIGHT. Not nearly as pissed off as I had hoped, though.
4.02 "Ground State":
• Wesley, utter badass. Of course he has been searching for Cordy.
• Is tight red nipples lady Gwen? Yes. She seems very X-Men.
• Wesley/Lilah: OMG hottest thing since Buffy/Spike.
• Ooh, Angel can smell the Wesley/Lilah.
• Fred, Gunn was only dead for a few seconds. That hardly counts at all on a show like this.
• Okay, there, Angel and Gwen in the elevator. *blushes* *ships madly*
• At least glowy Cordy is being bitchy at the very end of the episodes.
4.03 "The House Always Wins":
• So Cordy is only her old, snarky self when she's ascended and Angel can't hear her. Hmph.
• Vegas road trip! This RULES.
• Lorne, what the hell have you gotten yourself into?
• NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE WESLEY/LILAH PHONE SEX!
• Green showgirl Fred FTW!
• Think, Angel! Glowy Cordy made you win. And here she is. With slightly less brassy hair, the same horrid old-lady outfit, and, apparently, amnesia. Please let it be BITCHY amnesia.
4.04 "Slouching Toward Bethlehem":
• Cordy: still unfortunately orange.
• Yes, Cordy, things around there are creepy.
• No, you are not Sydney Bristow. Nor have you been doing the deed with Angel. Unfortunately (well, except for the pesky evil thing).
• They tease us with almost-kissing and then "AM I A NUN?" and crosses and scary game face. Hee!
• NOT "THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL" AGAIN, CORDY. *claps hands over ears*
• "Sordid. Rawr." Me, too, Lilah. Me, too. And Wesley called it "a relationship."
• Don't go with Weaselboy, Cordy.
• Uh oh, is Weaselboy getting a crush on Cordy? And grabbing a boob? Eww.
• You all know how much I adore the brother!kink (not in a Wincesty sort of way), but father-son rivalry for the same woman kind of grosses me out.
• Hi, angry Wesley. Of course Lilah played you. Deal with it.
4.05 "Supersymmetry":
• Fred got published! Whoo!
• Weaselboy knows Cordy's feet get cold because she's always stealing the covers? EWW.
• Lilah and Wesley, how you make my toes curl with glee.
• What's missing, Cordy? My vote is ANGEL.
• TENTACLES AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
• Lilah is only about a hundred times smarter than Angel. "Hulk smash." Hee!
• Evil professor is to blame. And Fred is going to kill him painfully, yay!
• I knew Fred gave up too easily. Wesley will help you.
• No kissing Weaselboy, Cordy. NONONONONONONONO!
• Cordy belongs with your dad and the others, Weaselboy. And get a haircut.
• Some people NEED killing/banishment to a hell dimension. I just can't get all worked up into a moral frenzy about it. However, I don't imagine this will do Fred and Gunn's relationship any good.
• "Were we in love?" Yeah, kind of, even if it your love seems neither epic (Buffy/Angel) nor pervy (Buffy/Spike) enough to get me really excited. I suppose it'll have to do.
4.06 "Spin the Bottle":
• Cordy just accused Angel of sexual harassment. I can now die happily.
• Yes, Fred/Gunn looks like it's on the rocks. Not surprisingly.
• Gunn-Wesley confrontation of multiple layers of great awkwardness.
• "I had my throat cut and all my friends abandoned me." *clings*
• IT'S ORIGINAL RECIPE SNIPPETY PRINCESS CORDELIA! And everyone else has regressed to teenhood and it is glorious. "You don't sound Irish." AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
• Wesley's little martial arts demonstration...cannot...breathe...laughing...too hard.
• "Homoerotic buddy-cop session": That's my Cordy! I'm going to miss her when she goes all Pod!Cordy again.
• "Slayer? The band?" *glee* And who knew Fred was a pothead?
• "You stopped the tiny men from singing!"
• Fred and Wesley need to stop doing this to me, with the "naked helpless body" and the *schwing* and stuff.
• Wesley: *dramatically brandishes cross at romantic competition* Gunn: *decks him* Angel: "See! The English is stupid." This makes up for a lot, show!
• The father-son fighting over Cordy: still gross.
• That went well.
• We were in love? And now Cordy's running off and I know that she's going to get knocked up and who the daddy is and eww.
"Spin the Bottle" made up for a lot. *glee*
