I think "eh" is about right. Nothing about the episode drew me in emotionally. It was an interesting story, and I'm willing to shrug at canon errors, but I felt like the episode lacked a soul. Much like Souled Angel's offspring. I did like him, the sort of tragic nature of turning him to save them all. But then Angel abandons him, because he knows that his new childe will be evil. Angel is such an appallingly bad father. I wonder if we were supposed to draw a connection with Connor?

MO-O-ONkey crack! Get your MONkey Crack here!

Lawson gets out of a staking by telling Angel he had an "ace in the hole." The "ace" was that he had Angel's friends tied up. So WHAT? Angel could have killed him anyway and just let his friends down.

The Initiative thing is officilly beyond old. It didn't work the first time, or the second. And it's NOT working now. Get OFF it.

One question raised is whether some of Angel's soul passed on to his child. The answer is ambiguous at best. We were never given the chance to find out. Lawson is dust. It would have been an interesting point to follow and may yet yield some interesting plots in the future. Does Angel's overarching prophecy have something to do with saving vampires by giving them all souls and consciences? i'd like to see that possibility explored.
