Angel 5X11 "Damage"

[ria_oaks]

Okay, first need to get this out:

ANDREEEEW!!!!

*ahem* God I love him... was so excited when I found out he was coming to Angel monthes ago, and finally seeing the ep... *happy sigh* Him hugging Spike while being all "You're like Gandalf the White!" "I feel like Frodo!" OMG he is so gay and adorable and in love with Spike and... and, "your Viggo Mortensen pecs!" Omg, too funny... And "the slayer of the vamPYres..." heh. And him trying to smoke a pipe... and his adorable hobbit-hair (didn't notice that until someone online pointed it out - so true...). And him tasting the penny and grimacing. All such classical Andrew moments...

Okay, shallow moment over.

Other than Andrew, ep was overall quite good. It was interesting seeing them dealing with the topic of an insane Slayer, obviously very different from our _other_ resident insane Slayer Faith. Spike calling her a monster was interesting, and his saying that they were once victims too - she may have been a victim, but now she's going around indiscriminantly killing people - she's a murderer, no two ways about it. Interesting topic. I really don't have much to say on this ep, actually, other than the Andrew loving...

Spike coming to understand his former evil at the end was good - he seems to be finally comprehending better what he was and what he has to atone for and such.

But ouch, getting his hands cut off? Gotta hurt.

Wes actually doing stuff this ep, and Angel giving him a job - yay. Bout time. Go Wes! Also, shallow moment - Wes with a gun! YUM! *ahem*

Neat finding out where all the Sunnydale gang are... Damn, Willow and Kennedy still together? Sucks. Wtf's Xander doing in Africa? O.o

Okay, really nothing else to say right now... meh. Go Andrew! Anyway, I could probably say some stuff on the end and whether or not Andrew, Buffy, & co are right not to trust Angel & co b/c of W&H, and the continuous question of can they do good there, but I don't feel like it... tired. Going to bed pretty soon, prob.



For more detailed, better expressed thoughts, read what thebratqueen has to say - she's just so much more articulate... ^^ Some interesting thoughts over there. *runs to read newest chapter of her fic "Pet"*

Ep 100 next week! And a certain special guest star... looking forward to this. ^_^ And then another Steven DeKnight/Drew Goddard penned ep! Woo hoo! They did good this week...
