2.20 Over the Rainbow Aggie: "You're not going with them?" Lorne: "Hey, I'd rather have a hydrochloric acid facial. I'd rather invite a hive of wasps to nest in my throat. I'd rather sit through a junior high school production of Cats. You see where I'm going with this?" This was a somewhat fun episode, with some Chitty chitty bang bang and Alice in Wonderland sort of tossed up and thrown into a Buffyverse demon dimension. I loved Angel's absolute determination to do something NOW, Wesley figuring out how to get there, Angel's long phone message to Gunn and Gunn's response to it, the Host's desperate attempts not to go with them while all the while trying to help them, and Angel's transparent delight at being able to walk in the sunshine. I just really liked the way the four of them were interacting in this episode, can you tell? How like Cordelia to arrive as a slave and end up running the place. What a great ending. And didn't *she* have a great Princess Leia/Gypsy Rose Lee look going for her? Bits and pieces: -- Loved Cordelia at the beginning clicking her heels together three times ("worth a shot"). -- How appropriate that the dimensional portal was at a movie studio. -- I had a feeling that Fred from the library would show up. -- Wesley has handcuffs? We keep getting hints that Wesley is not the quiet type that he seems to be. -- Angel was in the Tower of London? -- Was that hellbeast the same as the ones Buffy slew in the prom episode? Probably. Why waste a good costume? -- Wolfram & Hart are buying the hotel out from under Angel? Does that mean we're going to have a new headquarters for Angel Investigations next season? Quotes: Wesley: "There's obviously not going to be any big swirly hole jumping without a big swirly hole." Lorne: "At first I didn't know what the heck it was. But when I went to take a closer look, the forest goes all bendy, big flashy light and whoosh! through the portal and bang, I'm in another dimension. This dimension, which I love and adore and will never, never, never, *never* leave." Angel: "But then who opened the portal?" Lorne: (holding his hand like a sock puppet) "Gift horse. (opens the puppets mouth) Mouth." Aggie: "You're hiding from the mob?" Lorne: "Don't get me started. I know it's Hollywood chic going incognito and all, but this hat's really chafing my horns." Aggie: "Hm, I see. And the big flashing neon warning light in your aura means what?" Lorne: "Eat at Joe's." Angel: "I'm just waiting for Wes to have that eureka moment." Wesley: (off screen) "Eureka!" Angel: "Oh, jeez. Thank god." Lorne: "You mean he actually, really says 'eureka'?" Angel: "Ha! I'm not on fire." Wesley: "And we're together. And we didn't merge into some freakish, four-men Siamese twin." Gunn: "That was a risk? How come nobody told me that was a risk?" Angel: "Can everyone just notice how much fire I'm not on?" Lorne: "Just remember, keep your heads down. Xenophobia, kind of a watch-word where I'm from." Gunn: "I don't get it. Why're they afraid of Xena? I mean, I think she's kind of fly." Narwek: "For the crime of assault, against those judged to be your betters, you are to be detained until our royal highness passes sentence upon you." Gunn: "I'm guessing community service is out. Too bad. I really like those orange vests." Wesley: "No. No, these impenetrable stone walls are proving to be rather..." Gunn: "You say impenetrable and I will kick your ass." Let's say two and a half out of four stakes, and I'm interested in seeing how far they go with this Pylea thing, Billie |
