I wasn't sure what the tone was going to be early on. It began with Lorne all happy and bubbly and made the left turn into his psyche. That's pretty much how the whole ep went in contrasting light and dark, and I'm not entirely sure it worked for me. I'll have to watch again when I'm a little more awake.

I still don't get the whole laboratory thing. I find it annoying.

I also don't get Gunn as "Super Lawyer!" But I'm getting used to it.

I do like the Angel as fish out of water. He is best when improvising.

Where is Wesley?

Harmony was handled very well. I will not dislike her as long as she is used sparingly.

Spoike was barely seen. It's nice to cycle the characters. We don't overload that way.

Lorne as Mutagenic Slime (see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II) psycho didn't quite work for me. I never got the sense that it was actually Lorne doing the damage.

I still liked the interaction between the characters.

Next week's ep looks like a complete hoot.

[> Best. Episode. Ever. -- Mo, 10:26:31 10/30/03 Thu (169.152.251.99)

Of course, this is strictly a subjective thing, but I've never loved an episode of Angel as much as this one. For me, it all worked: the humor, Mega-Lorne, Happy Spike, Territory-Marking Gunn, Gunn's pretty pathetic attempts at dancing. And any episode that has a lordly demon claiming, "Your contempt is fragrant" instantly qualifies for my Top Ten list.

And, poor Wes, slipping back into his Fred-Funk. Plus it certainly doesn't help that Knox is evil, EVIL!!! Or so I guess, just because, c'mon. He HAS to be.

Anyway, yes. Great googily moogily, I loved this episode. And next week: Mexican Wrestler Mailroom Guy!
