darcydodoOK, that was an excellent episode. Humor, pathos, and at least three shout-outs to BtVS. Well, perhaps only two, officially (Knightrider! and shrimps!), but I think there was a second: when Eve tells Angel that Lindsey "really doesn't like you," her intonation and wording is precisely the same as Angel's was, way back when in "The Harvest," when he said to Buffy that "they really don't like me." It was pitch-perfect, really. (Then again, Sarah Thompson can't act, as we all know, so maybe it was coincidence.)
And Wesley called Illyria a smurf? That's the funniest thing ever, and I shall make an Illyria icon that says, simply, SMURF.
The scene betweenJayne Hamilton and Eve amused me to no end, for some reason, and next week is Connor and I won't be able to watch!!!!! Nooo!!!!!!!!!. Hopefully I can download it, but I'll still be a couple days late, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlwithjournal will be going absolutely insane not being able to talk about it to me. And I'll be going absolutely insane not being able to read what you all have to say about it.
The change from Fred talking to Illyria talking sent utter chills down my spine and reminded me of just how good an actress Amy Acker actually is, which I hadn't been aware of until "A Hole in the World."
When Illyria speaks, she speaks poetry, and it's almost intoxicating.
Poor Gunn. My G&S theme-song for him (Katisha's "Alone and yet alive") is perhaps becoming even more appropriate. I want to make two icons, I think, one that shows him sitting in the hospital bed, with the text "Alone, and yet alive," and one with him wearing the pendant, the text to read either "Remote the peace that death alone can give" or, the next line of the song, "My doom to wait, my punishment to live." These will have to wait until the episode has downloaded, however.
And just to point it out, this time last year we were watching "Dirty Girls," also a very strong episode in many ways. Plus, most amusingly, that was the episode in which we first got Caleb, and this is the episode in which we first got Hamilton. But, sadly, we were a few episodes off on Jasmine.
