Angel/Cordelia/Wesley is my new OT3. That last scene, with the three of them having breakfast, is one of my favourite moments ever. ::hearts them all::
On one hand, we can argue that that's both good, and responsible, TV. On the other hand, I feel like it does keep us at a distance. Whedon deaths are never deaths that happen to us, because we watch the aftermath for those who get left behind. Not us. I shall have to ponder this.
It's really a TERRIBLE episode Amen. Although it does some good things, mostly with Spike. That is, it puts him in a Hawaiian shirt, lets him attempt suicide and then gives him back his bite, all leading to the ending: "Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let’s annihilate them. For justice - and for - the safety of puppies – and Christmas, right? Let’s *fight* that evil! Let’s *kill* something! Oh, come *on*!”
I also love Spike leaning against walls and smoking cigarettes and pouting like he's a rent-boy. LOL! You are not alone...
When demon!Giles chased her, I literally exclaimed "go paunchy mild-aged demon Giles!" Giles as a demon is hysterical. And your observations re Ethan are making me laugh.
