Was watching Redefinition tonight.

It's what? Four years later and I've watched and rewatched this episode a million times and only tonight do I notice this exchange

Well, I actually *got* that one, but to wear the idiot hat for a minute? The entire threesome innuendo in Couplet escaped me until about a year ago.

But anything re Lindsey? I just assumed that it was going to be all about being on his knees or on his back or grabbing his ankles or ... well, you know.

Huh, can't imagine what about Lindsey would cause that kind of imagery.... ;)

But, see, this is why I crack up at people who look at lines like Spike saying he and Angel have been intimate just that once as proof that the boys are straight. Dudes, shit like that is not put into the show to confirm anyone's heterosexuality, believe me.

erm. well...he didn't say "just that once". He actually never finished the sentence. He said, "just that one...." so, it could have been one time, one week, one month, one year....and he wasn't talking about Angelus - he was talking about ANGEL.

So...yeah! I love my dead gay show and I miss it terribly.

And the Lindsey line? Dude, my husband and I were watching Angel one afternoon and, whoa!! like, we BOTH looked at each other and said, "Did you hear what I heard?"

Later that evening, The Daughter (who is 25) and I were talking over shared cooking, and I told her the line. She giggled, asked if it was the "hot little guy" or "that hot dude, Doyle" who said it. I told her it was Lindsey. Her response? "Hey - I'd like That Guy going down on me" - and then she giggled again, and said, "What? they really sneaked in that line?...Awesome".

*coughs*

Mostly because I'm too lazy to go looking...what was the threesome innuendo?...

Cordy comes into the office and she wants Angel's help. She sits him down and tells him that she really feels that she has no right to ask him for his help; after all, he's done so much. Angel says something like 'nobody's keeping score.' So Cordy takes a deep breath and says, "I need you to help me have sex ...[pause]...with Groo." There is a pregnant pause as Angel totally doesn't get what she's saying (you can smell wood burning! LOL), and he turns and looks out the office window to see Groo in the lobby. Groo waves, and Angel does the cutesy little eyebrow waggle and "toodle-doo waves" back. They cut to commercial. When the show comes back on, it's obvious that Angel *still* isn't sure what Cordy's asking him. (She is asking him to take her money and pick up the visionity-safe contraceptive from the brothel.)

I *LOVE* Couplet.
