Oh yeah, believe me, I was there. PS, I, and others tried but eventually left before Pylea, I think. It was AWFUL and they got what they wanted too. More Cordelia.

I'm going to try and contact those people that left and see if they would like to post here. I've noticed that some of the few that tried to stick it out are leaving this week.

It's just all really tiring now.

You're welcome. :)

I think it does. I'm thinking it's probably the closest thing one can get to being a regular without being tied down to making an appearance in every episode. I've never seen anyone be referred to as Special Guest star on a WB show except for the actor that plays Rory's grandfater on "Gilmore Girls," usually it's just "guest star."

The WB put her

I thought that was really cool of them to include in her as a part of the cast. It's a beautiful sight to behold. I just about screamed when I saw it for the first time. I mean, even the Host doesn't get such recognition.

Yeah, because last night everything just *clicked.* I really liked the flow in dialogue in the scenes that included Darla. It was as if the dynamic of the show just felt like home. Yeah, I know that sounds corny. :)

Did you notce that the entire Angel

but it

It might work. They just need to involve Gunn, Wes, and Fred more. It's all in the writing. I think there are multiple casted shows that don't have a problem with this.

>Oh, I haven't been able to get good night's sleep

LOL! Yeah, I keep telling myself NOT to get too invested. "It's not worth it!," I keep saying to myself.

Seriously,

I swear these people are like a broken record. Shut up already! We get it! Please tell me something I don't know. Then again the reasons these people want to see her gone are weak or they just have underlying intentions.

So take that!

Have you read posts by some people that want the baby to die a horrible death or just get killed? What the?! It's a BABY!

Oh, you too. What we are doing IS crazy!

Have you noticed that the ANGEL newsgroup has gotten *smaller* in terms of members? There used to be more posters than there are now. I wonder where they went because I really miss their input. David Hines hasn't written a review since the premiere.

Chiefseattle hasn't posted his review of "Offspring" yet but I'm sure he ripped it a new one, and I can't blame him if he did. That episode was all over the place without emphasis on what needed attention. You should read his review of "Billy." He almost gave it a D.

>Yes! You can really sense the time and development

I agree. :)
