I love the part where Angel investigates the Smile Time studio - just the way that weird rumbling sound builds up in the background as he goes further and further down the hallways, and then that guy with the towel?  It reminds me of a David Lynch scene with a touch of Silent Hill - so scary,

"We found the scamp hiding in one of the copiers - living on nothing but toner fluid!"

Trick's awesome - I'd like a bottle episode that was just Trick and Kenzie hanging out in the bar - Bo and Dyson could have their magical adventures in the background - it would be Lost Girl's "The Zeppo".  I haven't seen S2 yet, so here's hoping.

What?  Now I'm even more heartbroken that that show will never be.  I can't really picture anyone as Dodge, but she would have been close, I think.  At least that frees her up to stay on Lost Girl though. 
All the talk on tonight's LG of The Powers That Be and prophecy made me nostalgic for Angel  (nostalgic for new

Being Human (U.S.) usually gets a little Lost Girl action in its thread - and the fans of that show are probably just grateful for the extra comments, so no one minds the conversation derailment. 

If only Numfar were here to do the Dance of Joy!

Plus Kenzie's background mockery of the woman crying hysterically over her dead boyfriend.  It sounds mean, but really, it was the right reaction. 

I'm still liking it, but I think for those who are getting frustrated, it might play better on DVD, where the uneven plotting isn't as much of a factor, and you don't have time to think about questions like "what the hell is Dawn ever up to?".   I do think Britt's improving a bit, though.  I liked her gathering her

I always kinda liked the movie - it was funny, Paul Reubens had a great death scene, and at the very least TV-Buffy fans can finally see firsthand how she managed to burn down the gym at her old school.

Declan really Declaned up that dinner at Victoria's, too.  Everyone was having a very fake nice time until he opened his mouth and everyone fled the room.

It was just a giant necklace, wasn't it?  At the end of the scene, Faye said something like, "I'm going to go change out of the artifact now."  Which leads to an additional question: was Faye just changing clothes in the middle of the antique store?  I bet poor dead Mr. Wilson loved Faye's shopping days.

They had fantastic titles:
"Evil on the Bayou"
"Amulet of Doom"
"Swamp Witch"
"The Ashton Horror"
Yes, I'm reading that.

Thanks - The Increasingly Manic Tom Baker was taken, so I had to make do.

I'd like to see a conversation between Dawn and the Bug Demon: it would be all "Get Out! Get Out! Get Out!" and "Talky Meat Shut! Shut! Shut!" ad infinitum.

She really makes the most of the lines they give her - I like how she said "You know me pretty well" to Melissa with this mix of wariness and resignation - her secret witch power is helpful bitchiness.

Yeah, I like Grandma Blake in the Giles role (even if Cassie seems just as exasperated as Buffy always did by the minutiae of crystals and magic and teen demons).  It's also entertaining to see all the adults cracking up, what with Diana's dad mumbling through funerals and Adam's dad drinking and mumbling about the

Adam's Drunk Dad has to have some stories about Teen Demons, right?  I don't know why they don't ask him about the fabled Boat Incident.  Not that I want to take any airtime away from Faye mocking people.  That's my favorite part of every episode so far.

That's The Lying Game - it's very different, because the twins in that show are brunette.

between Ben . . . and Glory?

The dog cannot die until he gets his RREEVEEEEENNGE!
