Angel: Orpheus

The surprise opening? So not a surprise. Could they have been any more obvious last week?

The flashbacks? Meh. Kind of funny. Puppy! But I liked the Angel - Angelus fight. I wish they'd played that up more.

Wesley? Always tortured and beautiful. Always crossing the lines that no one else will cross. Never being sorry. And I really enjoyed his conversation with Willow. Wesley needing to open up and almost making it.

Willow herself I was less thrilled with. She didn't seem to add anything but Very Special Guest Star points. And Fred -- what the hell? C'mon, we're the ones who are supposed to make everyone gay. Don't steal our thunder!

Cordy and Connor now remind me of that storyline from Twin Peaks -- the one where James roars off on his motorcycle and meets the rich blonde women and fixes her car and gets it on with her. Not because the storylines are similar, but because they both make me want to gnaw my arm off.

Hal: Cordy looks terrible this week.

The Boy: Yeah, she does. I thought Pregnant!Cordy was pretty hot before, but not this week.

Hal: You thought Pregnant!Cordy was hot? I always thought NotPregnant!Cordy was hot, but not Pregnant!Cordy.

The Boy: I only found her attractive after she was pregnant.

There is a moment of silence as we each decide the other is a freak.

But I'm still holding to my Evil!Baby not Evil!Cordy theory. Sex makes evil babies, kids. I swear!

I've spent all day trying to work out how the ep relates to Orpheus. I guess Angel goes to hell to find his long lost love, Angelus. Or something. But Orpheus was ultimately unsuccessful. And then got torn apart by Maenads for being too depressed. Maybe I missed something.

Oh, and Lorne was very sweet. He made me smile.

Orpheus is what they called the drug Faith injected herself with. I guess Faith had to go to Hell with Angelus to get Angel back, and she was "eaten by a bear". Which is almost as good as being torn apart by Bacchantae.

Whatever.

Yeah, I remembered that. I just thought there must be some significance to the name. But maybe they just liked the way it sounded.

And bears are scary.

Bears are cute, Angel's HAIR is scary.

Shaft! Canyadiggit?

PregnantCordy's breasts are fairly impressive, and I like her when she's bitching like Cordelia of old. The whole thing's just too daytime soapy for my tastes, even though one can easily read that as deliberate EvilCordy manipulation.

Did you get the last minute or so? When Angel & Faith are on the balcony and Faith says she's going to SunnyD and jokingly rejects hugs? If so, what happened at the very end? I got cut off by the annoying WB channeling -- literally --CNN, with no news atall.

Orpheus? I thought they said 'Morpheus'. *snert* ehh. My ears are grizzled, my knees are gray...

And as to evil!Baby, I totally agree, only I wish it was the evil!Baby from Family Guy.

Yeah, the Cordy bitching is at least better than the Cordy moralizing. But she still seems more cranky than Queen C.

I get Angel on Tuesday night. (Though I did miss the last five minutes of a Simpsons rerun on Fox.) Not much of import happened: there's a bunch of good-bye saying, then Willow and Faith leave. Cordy comes downstairs wearing god knows what to flaunt her demonspawn filled belly. We all know she's evil but no one else has figured it out yet. The End.

I think Morpheus would have made about as much sense. And if only it were little Stewie! He'd triumph over all of them in no time. Well, maybe Wesley would be his nemesis.
