Yes, yes and yes. I think Wes's character arc is one of the best on the show, and they've succeeded in keeping him recognizably Wes even as he went from zero to hero to incredibly scary guy. Back on Buffy, he was willing to let Willow die even though he didn't like it -- willing to make the tough choices, always -- and now he's wriggling swords to torture roboguys just like he twisted the knife in that junkie last season, regardless of mindwipe.

I'm glad you mentioned Justine in the closet; that's one of my top five Buffy/Angel moments ever, when you realize that he's been fucking Lilah with Justine *right there*, and then again when you realize that his dad used to do that to him (except maybe not with the fucking, but who knows?). It's a gut punch followed by a gut punch.
