Joe Hellandback December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 THE CAUTIONARY TALE OF NUMERO CINCO The Good; Love the return of the brothers and love the idea of El Diablo Robotico, we MUST see that in the Angel comics some time. Love Angel's Cadillac and the ref to Holland Manners. The Bad; Angel seems very rough with No5 at his apartment, he could have killed him! Don't you think Angel's rather full of himself about being the hero. Best line; Angel; "Wes, did you ever hear about the devil building a robot?" Wes; "Ah, el diablo robotico!" Angel; "No one ever tells me anything" Jeez, how did they get away with that? Hearts cut from bodies Apocalypses: 5 Angel Clichés In disguise; 8 DB/JM get's his shirt off; 17, Cheap Angel; 7 Subverting the cliché; Angel's heart no good because it's 'dried up beef jerky'. No5 thinks Angel wants to drag him into the quest but actually just wants to give him some mail. After Angel's stirring speech No5 just jumps on the bus Fang Gang in bondage: Cordy: 5 Angel: 14 Wes: 7 Gunn; 5 Lorne; 5 Fred; 3 Fang gang knocked out: Cordy: 15 Angel: 19 Wes: 7 Doyle; 1 Gunn; 2 Lorne; 7 Groo; 1 Connor; 1 Faith; 1 Fred; 3 Kills; Angel kills the demon with a little help from his friends (or should that be amigos?) Cordy: 5 vamps, 3 demons Angel; 45 vamps, 61 and 1/2 demons, 5 zombies, 12 humans, one werewolf Doyle; 1 vamp Wes; 14 demons+5 vamps, 5 zombies, 2 humans Kate; 3 vamps Faith; 18 vamps, 6 demons, 3 humans. Gunn; 11 vamps+ 13 demons, 5 zombies, 1 human. Groo; 1 demon Fred; 3 vamps+ 2 demon, 5 zombies Connor; 16 vamps, 5 zombies, 2 demons, Jasmine Fang Gang go evil: Cordy: 3 Angel: 3 Gunn; 1 Wes; 1 Alternate Fang Gang; Cordy: 4 Angel: 11 Fred; 2 Wes; 1 Gunn; 1 Connor; 1 Lorne; 1 Characters killed: 4+No5 victims, the security guards have to be the redshirts of the Buffyverse 2261 Recurring characters killed; No5 10 Total number of Angel Investigations; 5, Spike however is now coming along for the ride on investigations. Angel, Gunn, Fred, Lorne, Wes, Angel Investigations shot: Angel: 14 Wes; 2 Packing heat; Wes with his shotgun (nice gag about the weapons check) Wes; 10 Doyle; 1 Angel; 4 Gunn; 3 Fred; 2 Notches on Fang Gang bedpost: Cordy: 5 ?+Wilson/Hacksaw Beast+Phantom Dennis+Groo+Connor plus possibly the Beast Angel: 6; Buffy, Darla, The Transcending Furies, Eve Wes; 3 definite; Virginia, the bleached blonde and Lilah, 1 possible, Justine Gunn; 2 Fred and Gwen. Fred; 1 Gunn Groo; 1Cordy Kinky dinky: Spike remarks he can't 'diddle his willy'. He again refers to Harmony as 'his old tumble' and is jealous that she's now Angel's pet. Captain Subtext; Angel remarks of 'the father will kill the son' to Wes who hasn't a clue what he's talking about. How much do the rest of the gang remember? Spike refers to Angel as a drama queen. Now of course Liam is the Irish version of William so maybe 'diddle his willy' has another meaning? Know the face, different character; 5 Parking garages; 8, Buffy characters on Angel; 16. Wetherby, Collins and Smith. Angel, Cordy, Oz, Spike, Buffy, Wes, Faith, Darla, Dru, The Master, Anne, Willow and Harmony. POSSIBLY The First Evil Questions and observations; Great ref where the man who recruits number 5 is Holland Manners from season 2. Can anyone tell me whom the ageing starlet Lorne is referring to? Wonder Woman referenced, this is at a time when Joss was planning the movie which sadly didn't come off (love to have seen ED or CC in the role). Very clear that Gunn is the most comfortable at WR&H. Angel's photographic memory again. Angel appears to limp some of the time, because of the beatings he's received or because DB's knee is giving him trouble? Note Spike knows how to defeat the demon through his poetic soul. Angel enters No5's home without an invite but does No5 dragging him inside count as one? So what happens the medallion after the fall of WR&H? Love to see it and the creature turn up some time in Fray. Marks out of 10; 6/10, OK but not brilliant Link to comment

In it, various people make comments which leads Angel to believe that was still some sort of "falling out" between Wes and the gang, but he (Angel) had no idea what it was (meaning Angel doesn't know the "new Connor-less reality") and made a "mental note" to find out what it was. I believe the fanfic also explained Wes' neck scar (assuming he still has it---it's hard to tell if he does or doesn't) as the result of a "mugging". Link to comment
