HABEAS CORPSES
The Good; Angel and co play Saving Private Connor during the fall of WR&H The Bad; Angel seems very out of character with his jealousy for CC and Connor but I guess love makes you do the wacky? Best line: Angel ; "Now take your new boyfriend and get out!" just beating Gunn's "Thanks for the newsflash Captain Obvious!" Jeez, how did they get away with that? The Beast slaughtering EVERYONE at WR&H! Apocalypses: 5 Angel Cliches Inverting the Hollywood cliche; In disguise; 8 DB get's his shirt off; 12 Cheap Angel; 5 Fang Gang in bondage: Cordy: 5 Angel: 12 Wes: 6 Gunn; 4 Lorne; 4 Fred; 2 Fang gang knocked out: Cordy: 12 Angel: 15 Wes: 5 Doyle; 1 Gunn; 1 Lorne; 4 Groo; 1 Kills: I figure everyone nails about 5 zombies each? Cordy: 5 vamps, 3½ demons Angel; 41 vamps, 57 and 1/2 demons, 5 zombies, 8 humans Doyle; 1 vamp Wes; 12 demons+3 vamps, 5 zombies, 2 humans Kate; 3 vamps Faith; 16 vamps, 6 demons, 3 humans. Gunn; 11 vamps+ 12 demons, 5 zombies, 1 human. Groo; 1 demon Fred; 3 vamp+ 1 demon, 5 zombies Connor; 8 vamps, 5 zombies, 2 demons Fang Gang go evil: Cordy: 2 Angel: 2 Gunn; 1 Wes; 1 Alternate Fang Gang: Cordy: 4 Angel: 10 Fred; 2 Wes; 1 Gunn; 1 Characters killed: about 200 at WR&H, evil sure but still 250 Recurring characters killed; byebye Gavin but he's evil so screw him 8; Total number of Angel Investigations: 5 Angel, Gunn, Fred, Lorne, Wes Angel Investigations shot: Angel: 11 Wes; 1 Packing heat; Wes; 7 Doyle; 1 Angel; 3 Gunn; 1 Notches on Fang Gang bedpost: Cordy: 5 ?+Wilson/Hacksaw Beast+Phantom Dennis+Groo+Connor Angel: 5; Buffy, Darla and The Transcending Furies Wes; 3; Virginia, the bleached blonde and Lilah Gunn; 1 Fred Fred; 1 Gunn Groo; 1Cordy Kinky dinky: Captain Subtext; Know the face, different character; 4 Parking garages; 6, Guantanamo Bay; Buffy characters on Angel; 16 Wetherby, Collins and Smith. Angel, Cordy, Oz, Spike, Buffy, Wes, Faith, Darla, Dru, The Master, Anne, Willow and Harmony What the fanficcers thought; Read a nice one where Lilah goes to drown her sorrows in a bar after breaking up with Wes and runs into Kate who is leaving LA that night. They get drunk together and end up hooking up Questions and observations; The shortest teaser ever, Angel basically storms off the roof lashing out at everything on the way down. Wes and Lilah break up and never get back together. Lilah actually shows some pity for Gavin describing him as 'Poor bastard'. Lorne and Gunn's idea that maybe Connor isn't linked to the beast and it's just the mystical hotspot behind Caritas is actually pretty sound, rare that anyone tries to 'Scully' Angel (well maybe Sheryl Crow?). Are the zombies actually a satire of corporate life? Angel says he has a photographic memory as we suspected. Why doesn't Lilah try to put a round in the Beast's eye? Love Lorne's little look at his drink when the AI appear back in the Hyperion foyer. Marks out of 10; 7/10 |

Cordelia is so out of character in this season, I don't know what happened to the writers.

Yep, too way out of character, and it's so frustrating. The fact that Cordy should have had some sort of guilt/shame when facing Angel afterwards and she didn't? The fact that she should have told him? And was so surprised when Angel reveals he knows at the end? Ugh.
At least Wesley was finally starting to come to his senses when he told Lilah that he's ending it with her. Too little too late? I must admit, I did like Lilah's point about black and white and how it can easily merge into grey. I wonder if with the beast after everyone at W&H she will take his advice and leave town. It was really hard to see what was going on a lot of the time when the employees of W&H turning into zombies and attacking Angel and the others. I was bored for the most part. __________________
