While, I can't say that is was very high on my Angel list, I did enjoy the ep. It was kind of dark and distrubing plus we got to see and added dimension to Angel. On BTVS it was portrayed that while he had the Soul Angel was good and Angelus was evil b/c he didn't have the soul. This ep. was the start (at least for me) of the fact that soul isn't an 'do good card' the inclenation, likes, and desires are all present in Angel the soul just helps him (or gives him a reason) to resist.

Really liked the A/C scenes in this eppy. Liked the whole chaining Angel to the bed, some interesting looks there. Loved the roof top discussion at the end of the ep.

Was never a big fan of Kate and, this ep had me really dislikeing her. Also wasn't too thrilled with Cordy's comment to Penn about how Angel cared for Kate more then he knew.

I'm enjoying looking back at these eps. and seeing connections to later eps. For instance in "Billy" I remember a discussion about where A/I got the police scanner from (the one Fred heard that Billy had escaped custody). Now we know Angel stole if from a police car. This is fun! :-)

An ok ep, despite the Angel/Kateness.

Loved the A/C stuff, particularly her defending him to Wesley.

We got to see first-hand the bond between Sire/Childe, too bad it didn't come in handy for S2 when Darla comes back. You think Wesley, Cordelia or even Angel would've seen the signs sooner.

But I thought the A/Kness was so forced. Penn deliberately goes after Kate to get to Angel. And I was rolling my eyes at that "he cares about her more than he realizes" line, too. I was like, "since when?" Kate's feelings for him were obvious, but it seemed like Angel's feelings were convenient. He starts liking her, then bam!, she finds out he's a vampire and loses interest in him. Oh well. Still have to endure "The Prodigal", which is the last A/K ep for a long while.
