Angel 5.1 -- Late "Conviction" Thoughts

[chicken]

Late to the party, stupid digital cable, blah blah.

Anyway, I really liked what you had to say about the episode, keever.



I am especially happy about Harmony, of course, and that Wesley was the one who chose her to be in the group.

Harmony, this icon is for you. Looks like you've actually been studying it.

That Joss is so freely handing out canon slash lines/moments is giddily, heart-warmingly fun. Still hoping Lorne will get a boyfriend, though.

BTW I paused on Lorne's employee examination list, and his possible column headings were:

- OK
- On the bubble
- Evil
- To be fired
- Yikes!

So if an employee is only "Evil" he or she is to be kept on. A "To be fired" or presumably "Yikes!" rating qualifies for dismissal. I wonder if they will pick someone out of the herd to be made into a lead-off example for the rest of the "Yikes!" types.

A very astute use of Lorne's powers.

One thing did confuse me, especially since someone who commented on keever's mentioned something about the significance of Angel *dropping* the amulet.

Does this imply that if he hadn't dropped it, Spike wouldn't have appeared?

Another interesting thing -- isn't the set for Fred's lab actually the same set they used in 2.13 "Happy Anniversary" for Gene's time freezing experiments?

And why does Fred's new assistant look so familiar?

Cordy's visions were actually a big part of season three, because they started threatening her life. She chose (in a great episode in a great season; man I can't wait for those DVD's) to become half demon so that she could go on having them. In season four, between her being with the powers and then having no memory and then all of the stuff with Angelus and Jasmine, I remember her having one vision, in the episode where they were trying to protect the totems.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

So nothing definitive has been said about the visions going away.

So Angel and Co. have no link to the PTB with her still in a coma?

No, it seems that their connection is gone. Which makes relying on W&H for direction/resources even more dangerous, I suppose.
