Joe Hellandback September 7, 2018 Share September 7, 2018 The Good; Lindsay's dilemma and Angel's solution to it. The final battle. Best of all though has to be Gunn's entrance to WR&H, one day he'll have a very different persepctive. The mind-reader line up is also a winner. The Bad; Would WR&H really be so forgiving of Lindsey? Best line: Cordy; "Are you telling me self-mutilating psycho assassin chick reached enlightenment?" Jeez, how did they get away with that? Angel shows remarkably little sympathy for Lindsey's story of his dead sibling but then he was from the Georgian age where most kids didn't make it out of infancy. Killing Lee is horrible, scumbag though he is, even Lilah has a horrified reaction to it, suggesting the woman beneath the mask. Apocalypses: 4 Inverting the Hollywood cliché; In every other genre handicapped people are inspirational, of course in the Jossverse they're EVIL! In disguise; 4 DB get's his shirt off; 7 Cordy's tattoo;3 Cheap Angel; 4 Fang Gang in bondage: Cordy: 5 Angel: 8 Wes: 2 Fang gang knocked out: Cordy: 9 Angel: 10 Wes: 4 Doyle; 1 Kills: Cordy: 3 vamps, 1 demons Angel: 2 vamps and one human so 16 vamps, 10 and 1/2 demons, 3 humans. Doyle; 1 vamp Wes; 1/2 a demon Kate; 3 vamps Faith; 16 vamps, 6 demons, 3 humans. Fang Gang go evil: Cordy: 2 Angel: 2 Alternate Fang Gang: Cordy: 2 Angel: 6 Characters killed: 25 Recurring characters killed; byebye Lee although he's evil so screw him 2; Total number of Angel Investigations: 3, Angel and Cordy and Wes Angel Investigations shot: Angel: 8, Packing heat; Wes; 2 Doyle; 1 Angel; 1 Notches on Fang Gang bedpost: Cordy: 2 ?+Wilson/Hacksaw Beast Angel: 1;Buffy Kinky dinky: Lee asks Lindsey does he find the assassin sexy, you get the impression they both do Captain Subtext; Holland really does treat Lindsey like he's his son or something. Know the face, different character; 2 Parking garages; 4, Buffy characters on Angel; 11, Cordy talks to Willow here but we don't see her. She says hello to Wes, AH and AD having just married Wetherby, Collins and Smith. Angel, Cordy, Oz, Spike, Buffy, Wes, Faith, Darla Questions and observations; Vanessa Brewer is actually played by CC's stunt double, always nice when that happens (LL's stunt double on Xena would go on to play a recurring characters in the show). Although I actually think she looks more like ED? This also marks the entrance of the great Sam Anderson as Holland. Angel kills another human and has very little remorse about doing so, very different from Buffy. The scroll refers to the 'vampire with the soul', ostensibly Angel but by season 5 Spoiler maybe Spike too? maybe Spike too? Marks out of 10; 8/10, good ep Link to comment

Once Spoiler Spike gets a soul, I've thought that Wes' translation, while correct at the time, might be a little off. That is, the scroll says "Vampire with Soul". Naturally, you'd put in articles so it doesn't sound so "Me Tarzan You Jane". If you only know of one (which at the time was true), you'd say "THE vampire with a soul". But once Spoiler Spike gets his perhaps it would have been better to say "A vampire with a soul". Now, whether that can be interpreted to mean "Any vampire with a soul", implying that, as long as the conditions are met, a prophecy can come true more than once is another question. Link to comment

That assumes both survive to see the prophecy, perhaps there will only be one Vampire with a Soul still standing? 1 Link to comment
