It was the way it was shot, and the way they both acted it. I never really cared about the two of them before that scene. But that scene, man. Once I was done snickering about how right off of Angel it was ripped? Yes. The music, the lights, the kiss and his reaction to it. The guy can act compellingly, that is proof.
Sophia Myles' acting skills are sadly underexploited in most of those episodes, though. And man, I want more Josef. I was hoping for the Lola episode to provide us with so much more him than it did. Where are my Josef flashbacks? That said, I'm into Adam/Josef even more than I ever was before, and I love Jason Dohring for how much he acts with body language. He did it all the way through Veronica (I could've written an essay on how much he conveyed through what he did with his hands, very much from the same school of acting as Tony Head, weirdly enough - always do something with your hands) and now he's doing it here and I love it. It makes Josef so much more alive than the self-hating Mick is, paradoxically.
Adam/Josef is definitely a case of...well, I love these characters so much on their own, why not see what happens when I put them together? They both hint at so much complexity and psychological subtleties. \
