Ooooh, this is excellent.

I think it's great how they tied everything together. Wes was getting all worked up over Angel not seeing that Nina likes him, and then at the end he doesn't notice that Fred is all over him. And yes Mole, I think there was a brief glimpse up her skirt. By the way, I think Hamfrek or whatever was played by David Fury, which is pretty cool (he was also the Mustard guy in OMWF).

Wow, next week is going to be one of the best episodes of the season! Anyway, all of my anti-Smile Time sentiment is gone. For starters, the Self Esteem Song rocks. Gunn's losing his mind, Lorne gets ample screen time, KNOX IS THE MAN, the puppet fight scene, and finally Fred and Wes kissing. Not the best or anything, but it was a really good episode. Like I said, though, "A Hole in the World" is going to rule.

FINALLY!!! Holy crap they finally kissed!

GREATEST FIGHT SCENE EVER~

And Gunn's back! I bet the senior partners juiced him up with something MORE than the legal stuff, though.

And Fred in a skirt is just mouthwatering.

Hey, talk about your storyline development. Wes and Fred, KNOX~, Gunn continuing to lose it, and LORNE~ time!

Yeah, this is just CRAZY~ It has Ben Edlund written all over it, you can tell.

And it's the slooooooooooooooow build to the Wes/Fred relationship, apparently.

Knox is back! Jonathan Woodward is SO awesome, and he's been underused so far this season.

Well, that opening certainly was... ...bizarre.

Praise be to Allah.

I always thought "Judgment" would be a good episode to show someone. It features everything that makes Angel great; excellent fight scenes, witty dialogue, and KARAOKE, and lots of it! Of course, the ending with Faith wouldn't mean anything to a new viewer, but that's only the last minute anyway.

'Superstar' Scott Lunde? Joyous.

Did you hear the one about the deaf man? Neither did he!

I've been going on an iTunes spree lately. Dream Theater - Train of Thought The Flaming Lips - Wastin' Pigs is Still Radical EP Outkast - Speakerboxxx etc.

and then you'd get a lump in your throat, a weakness in your knees and a bulge in your pants before asking for her autograph. Yow!

One defense in 50 days has to be some kind of record.

I don't know if Double Jeopardy (and the music) should be counted as an embarrassment or as a triumph.

Watching episodes like "Sleep Tight" "Forgiving" and "The Price" just furthers my belief that Angel has the best storytelling on television. This whole debacle just completely boggles my mind.

*folds under pressure*

I still don't see what the big problem with "Smile Time" is. We've only seen those pictures and the preview, for all we know it could feature some good storyline development.

To try and move away from the sad and depressing cancellation news, I'll start something else. With the season over halfway through, how would you rank the episodes so far? For me: 1. You're Welcome 2. Destiny 3. Damage 4. Lineage 5. Soul Purpose 6. Conviction 7. Hellbound 8. Life of the Party 9. Why We Fight 10. Harm's Way 11. Just Rewards 12. The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco 13. Unleashed

Yeah, if you watch "Fredless" when Fred's mom is talking to someone (Cordelia?) at the end, she said her husband liked all the Alien movies, except "he dozed off during the last one", which was a jab at Joss~
