Thoughts on Angel and the Weather

sisabetI watched Angel last night. I liked what I saw: Angel's hallucinations - now that's entertainment, Lilah is seriously evil - always a good thing (but will someone please brush her hair and put some eyeliner on her? Lilah should always be meticulously groomed), Wes and Justine dipping into some serious bondage/dominance territory - it was fun all around.
Lilah's palm pilot and Wes cutting his arm to feed Angel have a special place in my heart. I was concerned that Wes should be a little more cautious when feeding Angel, he does have a tendency to latch on and all... Did anyone get the feeling that maybe Cordelia does not have form, but she is still her - y'know? And she is safe and warm and loved and finally finished...and totally bored. Hee. This does not make up for what has been done to her character, but I did appreciate it. I hate Fred. Last year it was minor annoyance combined with slight disdain, but now I actively hate her. That is all. I just hate her.
You know what else I hate? Weathermen who break into programming without warning to tell me it is raining. Really? It's raining? Thanks for the information. Seriously, I couldn't figure that out by myself. Oh, and there is thunder as well? Well then, by all means, please interrupt Wes and Lilah's post-coitus to tell me. Because I can't read the big honking ticker at the bottom of the screen. Oh, and I did not notice the weather map taking up 1/4 of the left corner. I'm glad you interrupted the show a total of four times. Because it is not as if I was looking forward to watching it. I mean, it was raining! That is important news! Oh, and I really liked it when you broke in to tell me the storm was over. Thanks. I don't know how I would have made it through without you. You complete me.

Well, except when I was completely overwhelmed by Wesley having sex with Lila while he had Justine (whose name brings De Sade to mind more and more with each episode) locked in the closet. Good old boring Wesley has come a long way. And I really didn't buy that Angel had to have human blood--Wesley was clearly getting off on that whole thing. He managed to show more interesting traits in this one episode than in the character's entire previous television existence.
And Lilah. What can I say. A good beheading shows great promise for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately most of the other bits of the episode were just plain awful instead of funny-awful. I will reserve judgment on this season until we see how Cordelia comes back. And I'm still pinning my romantic hopes on Angel and Lorne getting together.

Anyway, it was your blog made me want to download it. So thanks.

And I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet. heh.

Maxima mea culpa. If I spoiled it for you, I deserve to be punished. Which fits in nicely with the theme of this thread.
