RavishingRickRudo

This was my favourite episode thus far. The "She's Catholic" line had me laughin pretty hard. It was a nice twist at the end and I was markin hard for Union Station (~!) being the train station.

I think JPL has the voice to pull it off. I, however, am skeptical about his judgement in picking songs. The two crackers have a chance simply because they will be different from the rest.

I think I'll play a cruel game... Episode 5X17 Summary "Underneath": Angel 5x17 Underneath - Summary From Mythical-boards.com - By Pandora - 2004-02-21st When Angel tells Spike that he wishes he had someone who could tell him what the Senior Partners are up to these days, Spike says he knows just such a person. A bit later they arrive at Lindsey’s apartment, where Eve is still hiding. Angel threatens to tell the Senior Partners where Eve is if she doesn’t help them, but before he can do so, the walls begin to shake and Eve, trembling, begs Angel to save her. A moment later a well-dressed man named Hamilton enters, but the room is empty. Angel, Spike, and Eve return to Angel’s office, where Angel tells Harmony to lock down the building. Then Angel visits Gunn, who’s still in the hospital wing, and learns he can take custody of a wayward employee, which should help him protect Eve from the Senior Partners. Angel thanks Gunn, but warns him that no matter how guilty he feels for his role in Fred’s death, he can’t hide in the hospital forever. Meanwhile, at Fred’s apartment, Wesley dreams about Fred, but when he wakes it’s Illyria watching him from Fred’s body. Illyria comments on Wes’ nightmare, saying that if this world is so disappointing, he should leave. Back at Wolfram and Hart, Angel tells Eve he can protect her, but demands that in return, she tell him all she knows about the Senior Partners. She says she knows nothing Angel doesn’t already know. She does say, though, that Lindsey knew much more than she, which is why the Senior Partners snatched him away. Also, although Angel assumed Lindsey was dead, Eve says he’s probably locked in some sort of hell dimension. Then we see Lindsey (wearing a distinctive necklace) waking up, kissing his beautiful wife, and cuddling his adorable 9-year-old son in a perfect suburban utopia. A bit later Lindsey steps out of his perfect house, picks up his perfectly centered newspaper, waves to the perfect postman, and goes back inside. At Wolfram and Hart, Spike and Angel try to figure out which hell Lindsey’s in, but then Gunn enters and says he knows where Lindsey is. Meanwhile, in suburbia, as Lindsey helps his son Zach with his science homework, Lindsey’s wife Trish asks Lindsey to get a light bulb from a shelf in the basement, which makes Lindsey very nervous. At the same time Gunn directs Angel and Spike to a special Wolfram and Hart car that drives them through a long tunnel to the perfect suburban neighborhood. At Fred’s apartment, Wesley turns Illyria’s suggestion around, saying that if she’s not happy here, then perhaps she should leave. Illyria gets mad, but then breaks down, saying the walls are closing in on her and she can’t breathe. Back in suburbia, the Wolfram and Hart car arrives at Lindsey’s house. Angel, Spike, and Gunn go in, but Lindsey doesn’t recognize them, and says he’s never heard of Wolfram and Hart. Meanwhile, back at Angel’s office, Harmony assures Eve that nothing can happen to her... but then sirens blare, announcing an intruder. Hamilton punches out a guard in the lobby, and as he approaches Angel’s office, Eve, Lorne, and Harmony scream. Back in suburbia Angel snatches off Lindsey’s necklace. The spell he was under ends, and he finally recognizes Angel. Then Trish enters with an Uzi and starts shooting. While Angel fights Trish, the others run outside, but their magic car has vanished. As Zach enters with another Uzi, Gunn says the only way out is through something called the Wrath. He asks Lindsey what’s behind the cellar door, and when Lindsey reacts fearfully, they realize they’ve chosen correctly. Back at Wolfram and Hart, Eve, Lorne, and Harmony flee to the elevator. Hamilton chases them, but the doors close just in time. In Lindsey’s basement Angel, Spike, and Gunn are shocked to find a fully outfitted torture chamber, including a pile of bloody human hearts that have been brutally cut from their owners. There’s also a large furnace where an intense fire - the Wrath - flares. Before they can figure out how to open it, however, a massive medieval demon, outfitted as an executioner, appears. Angel and Spike grab weapons and start to fight the demon, but then Gunn steps back and dons the necklace Lindsey used to wear. As he does, the demon senses him and stops fighting. Angel realizes what’s happening, and Gunn explains that if someone is freed from this torture dimension, another person must remain behind. Angel realizes that Gunn planned this as his own penance from the beginning, but Gunn is already starting to fade away, and there’s nothing they can do. As the demon starts to fade, too, Angel, Gunn, and Lindsey walk into the Wrath’s flames while Trish calls down to Gunn, who suddenly can’t remember why he’s in the basement. A moment later, as Lorne, Eve, and Harmony flee through the Wolfram and Hart garage, Angel, Spike, and Lindsey, still flaming a bit, hit the hood of their car. Lorne and Eve jump out to help them, but then Hamilton arrives. Eve cringes, but as Hamilton approaches, instead of a weapon, he whips out a contract and instructs her to sign it. Finally, resigned, she does, and Hamilton explains that Eve has been fired by the Senior Partners, and he is taking her place as Angel’s new liaison. He tells Angel he’s looking forward to working with him, welcomes Spike to the team, and leaves. Back at Fred’s apartment Wesley and Illyria stand on the balcony, looking out at the city. She’s calmer now, and says she can breathe again and doesn’t feel quite so trapped here. Wes realizes finally that she really can’t leave, and she marvels at how Wesley can stand to live here, shut inside tiny rooms all the time... but he says it’s not the rooms that make it hard. Finally, at Wolfram and Hart, Angel asks Lindsey about the Senior Partners and Lindsey says Angel already knows what he knows: the world’s a bad place. Angel insists he’s done a lot of good since coming to Wolfram and Hart, but Lindsey says hell and the apocalypse are going on right here, right now. Angel doesn’t believe him, but Lindsey points out all the compromises Angel’s been forced to make lately, and gradually Angel realizes that everything he’s been doing in the past few months has been just a distraction to keep him busy so he won’t notice the real evil... which must have been the Senior Partners’ plan all along. As the horror of this sinks in, we see Gunn sitting with Zach at the kitchen table, going through the same science lesson Lindsey was helping him with earlier. Then Trish asks Gunn to go down to the basement to fetch a new light bulb. Episode 5X18 "Origin" Angel 5x18 Origin - Summary From Mythical-boards.com - By Pandora - 2004-03-20th Episode 18 | ORIGIN When a warlock brings Connor back into Angel’s life, Wesley finds out that Angel has tinkered with the memories of his friends. After Angel discourages Wes from brooding over Fred’s death, Wes meets with two people, Laurence and Colleen, who want to understand how their son miraculously survived being hit by a speeding van. Wes calls Angel in, and as Angel approaches, Wes sees Connor into the lobby. When Connor addresses Laurence as “Dad,” Angel realizes who they are and says he can’t help. Wes, who has no recollection of Connor, tries to change Angel’s mind, but Angel refuses. Meanwhile, in the suburban basement, the medieval torture demon cuts Gunn’s heart out, then hands him the light bulb he came downstairs looking for. A bit later Spike studies with Illyria in Wolfram and Hart’s new training dojo, and as he takes one beating after another from her, Wes enters and says he just doesn’t understand Angel. At the same time Angel visits Hamilton, the new liaison to the Senior Partners, and demands to know why Connor has returned. Hamilton says the Partners had nothing to do with it, but someone is apparently trying to send Angel a message. Later that night, as Connor and his parents pull into a motel, a demon crashes through their windshield. Instinctively Connor fights it off, and when a second demon tackles him, Angel appears and kills it with a sword... which Connor deems “awesome.” Colleen sees Laurence is bleeding, so Angel offers to take him to the doctors at Wolfram and Hart... and tells Connor there are things they should talk about. Later, after Laurence checks into the medical wing, Angel assures Connor that he’s a normal kid with some “enhanced abilities,” but then reveals his own vampire status and explains that he and the rest of the firm are dedicated to fighting evil. Just then Spike - thrown by Illyria - comes crashing through a door, so Angel introduces Connor to Spike, Illyria, and Lorne. Connor says the firm is “way better than college,” and Angel is thrilled to learn Connor now attends Stanford University. Later Wesley shows Angel a photo of the Kith’harn demons that attacked Connor and his parents. Wes says the demons are henchmen of a warlock named Cyvus Vail, and later Angel walks into Vail’s office. Vail tells Angel that he wasn’t trying to kill Connor: he was just testing the boy’s capabilities. Angel asks how Vail even knows about Connor, and Vail says, “I built him.” Back at Wolfram and Hart, Wesley and Lorne find a record of a large payment from Wolfram and Hart to Vail - for some sort of memory, mind control, and/or temporal spell - on the day they took over the firm. Meanwhile, after Vail explains how he created childhood memories for Connor, Angel asks what he wants, and Vail says he needs the demon Sahjhan killed. Angel reminds him Sahjhan is locked away in an urn, but Vail says urns can break, and he needs a final solution. Then he produces a glowing glass box called an Orlon Window, which shows scenes of the past as it really was... and which, if broken, would restore Connor’s (and Angel’s friends’) memories. Understanding the blackmail, Angel agrees to kill Sahjhan, but Vail says there’s only one person who can do it: Connor. Later, back at Wolfram and Hart, Angel tells Connor what Vail wants him to do. Connor is skeptical, but realizes Vail won’t leave his family alone unless he complies, so he agrees. Meanwhile, as the medieval demon tortures Gunn again, Hamilton interrupts and pulls off the necklace that keeps Gunn there. He offers Gunn a chance to return to his normal life, but Gunn just asks for his necklace back, and Hamilton obliges. Back at Wolfram and Hart, while Angel gives Connor advice on fighting Sahjhan, Wes searches for clues about the reality shift Vail provided, and Illyria, who can see glimmers of Fred’s memories, confirms they were altered. Then Wes finds an authorization form signed by Angel, and begins to suspect what happened. A bit later Angel and Connor arrive at Vail’s palace, and Vail points Connor to a chamber where Sahjhan is waiting. Connor enters, and the door immediately disappears, cutting him off from Angel and Vail (who can still see Connor, even though he can’t see them). Connor opens Sahjhan’s urn, and Sahjhan oozes out and takes shape. As he thanks Connor for releasing him, Connor tells him they’re supposed to fight, and Sahjhan realizes who Connor is. They circle each other, and Sahjhan eventually smacks Connor in the face. Angel tries to rush in, but is knocked back by a force field. Angel orders Vail to open it, but Vail points to the Orlon Window, which could still be broken if Angel doesn’t behave. Inside, Connor and Sahjhan trade blows, and as Connor gets the worst of it, Angel looks at Vail again, but this time sees him frozen in time while Wesley stands there with Illyria (who has frozen Vail) and the Orlon Window. Wes accuses Angel of selling out his friends to Wolfram and Hart, and Angel lunges at the Orlon Window, but Illyria throws him across the room. Finally, as Connor continues to fight Sahjhan inside, Angel admits to Wes that Connor’s his son. Wes accuses Angel of trading Connor’s life for Fred’s, and asks if breaking the Orlon Window would undo the spell. Angel says it can’t bring Fred back, but Wesley no longer trusts him. Wesley smashes the window, setting off a huge, blinding explosion. As a rapid montage of scenes from Wes and Connor’s lives flashes by, Angel realizes that Connor must be affected too. At that very moment something clicks in Connor, and he immediately takes charge of the fight with Sahjhan, finally killing him with an axe. As Sahjhan dies, the door re-opens, and Angel enters. To his surprise, Connor is merely in awe of what he’s just done, and is still ignorant of his connection to Angel. The next day, back at Wolfram and Hart, Wesley tells Illyria what he now remembers about betraying Angel and stealing his son. Illyria notes that the alternate set of memories still exists in their heads, and Wes suggests they might help them endure the truth, not forget it. In Angel’s office, Connor says his dad is being released from the hospital wing, and when Angel asks what Connor’s going to tell his parents about the previous night, Connor says he’ll tell them that Angel is looking out for him. Angel reminds him that Vail is still at large, but Connor says he has to go back to his own life so he can protect his family... which is something he learned from his father. Then he heads for the elevator, but before he gets on, he and Angel lock eyes one last time.

Well they've already killed off two characters this year in Cordy and Fred. However, Joss being Joss... Gunn is almost too likely. Kinda like Smithers when the "Who shot Mr. Burns" thing was going on. I don't think Spike will do it again. Lorne is the Anya of the group - the worldly outsider who's-not-so-outside, so that is a bigger possibility than when I first read it.

Bradshaw has always been a good promo; at least, in the past few years he has.

Yeah, it was good. I'm not really more/less hyped for the fight knowing that Tito Ortiz is a Bone Disease, but it provided a little more clearity on the situation. It was, however, transparent as fuck. Both guys coming up from a hard-knock life, single parents, lots of difficulties; Tito looked to the streets while Chuck stayed it straight. UFC getting over the history of the sport which may have been correct, but still felt soooooo McMahonion that I wanted to gag. You heard all the classics from "what if you had..." to "damn those boxing guys". Do I have to go through this everytime Zuffa produces something? Charlie's (Chuck, but we call him Charlie from now on ) children beating on him and his daughter with the thumb choke and saying "I'm really good at the choke" just had me rolling. Titos kid, however, takes the cake. That dance was fucking unbeatable. Put that kid in the Octagon. Seeing the other fighters in there (Sylvia, Couture, Hughes, Lindland... jeez, do they love the Miletich guys or what?) was pretty fun. They all picked Chuck while a lot of the fans picked Tito (cept for Ricco, but does his opinion count anymore ). The fighters predicted Couture over Tito so...

I just finished downloading the Iceman/BadBoy thing and I'll give it a look later on today.

*Bradshaw finds Faarooq in the Shower*

To take the focus off of me for a second (but only a second)... Friday, March 26, 2004 Hercules Loves WONDERFALLS’ 3rd Episode!! I am – Hercules!! Wonderfalls 1.3 FAQ What’s it called? “Wound-Up Penguin.” Who’s responsible? Teleplay is credited to “Dawson’s Creek” vet Liz Garcia. Though, for the record, the teleplay feels a lot more like Tim Minear (“Angel,” “Firefly”) than Kevin Williamson (“Glory Days”). What does TV Guide say? Jaye is told to track down the woman she and Eric found earlier hiding in the bar, but meeting their quarry's other pursuer sends them on a different quest, spiritual in nature, and in opposite directions. Katrina: Carrie Preston. Schofield: Aidan Devine. Custodian: Boyd Banks. Marta: Karen Ivany. Aaron: Lee Pace. Eric: Tyler Leitso. Jaye: Caroline Dhavernas. This is the one with the nun, yes? It is! How soon do we see her in a habit? There are no habits in this ‘sode. Isn't this episode #112? Aren't they airing these "Wondefalls" episodes out of order? Word on the street is "Wound-Up Penguin" was shot late to air early, as was last week's "Karma Chameleon." The idea, we hear, was to enertainingly address pointed questions posed by those who saw the pilot. But the airing order is that prescribed by the show's creators, not the mercurial network execs. The BIG season one story arc kicks in, if I remember correctly, with "Crime Dog" (1.5) which focuses on Jaye's suspicious brother and a chatty cow creamer. The big news? Of all the nine or so episodes I’ve seen, I believe this is the one in which Jaye and Eric (the bartender) spend the most time alone with each other. And they spend some of that time alone in a hotel room, ready for the kissing! It may be the romantic of all the various and sundry “Wonderfalls.” What else is TV Guide not telling us? “Wonderfalls” may be a dramedy after all. This is the first installment to leave the mighty Hercules a little weepy! What’s great? Jaye generally, but especially her understandable confusion over the difference between holy and magic. “Ironic! Considering.” “Or she may have been looking over her shoulder. Possibly. Running away from something?” Jaye’s excitement when the bartender produces drinking glasses. Dhavernas generally, but especially her reading of “What was all that ‘Leave me alone’ screaming about??” “He didn’t Agnes of God me!” “You grew alfalfa and took a vow.” The references to Sky Bully and the world of tomorrow. “You’re not leaving without her. You’re not leaving her with me.” “No. Yes!!” “Or is it just gee dash dee?” “I have to drink in here?!” “Because if it is? It snuck up on me and nobody’s getting anything.” “You don’t suppose she’s meeting us there?” “Well, smell me!” “It’s a rental!” “No! Yes! Can you repeat the second part??” How does it end, spoiler boy? The public address system announces a train leaving for New Jersey, and Eric the newlywed bartender puts his arm around Jaye. Herc’s rating for “Wonderfalls” 1.3? ****1/2 The Hercules T. Strong Rating System: ***** better than we deserve **** better than most motion pictures *** actually worth your valuable time ** as horrible as most stuff on TV * makes you quietly pray for bulletins 9 p.m. Friday. Fox. Swing the crebbil!

You know... ... I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

And have I mentioned how much I hate Rene Dupree? If not. I hate Rene Dupree.

Well, golly, I just posted it cause I thought it might be funny. I, I, I didn't think that it would get this kind of response. Wow. I mean, thank you. It's good to be acknowledged.

Bradshaws motive could actually work and make sense if he purchased WWE stock and thinks that with Eddie Guerrero as champion would effect his portfolio. So he must become WWE champion to raise the price and value of the company.

Hardcore Holly *is* the heart of Smackdown.

..nevertheless.

"What's all this JBL Jabba about" Have we ruined Banky's fandom yet?

Uh. I kinda feel dirty for contributing to it... *downloads another WWE match* Eh, I'll make it up.

Jesus Christ, you all act like my Max-on-Max picture wasn't the greatest thing ever posted. Just admit it and let's move on.

It's the fat Andrew WK.

I was watching Smackdown and as Bradshaw (or "JBL" as us insiders say) started cutting his promo I said "Damn. Now I have to watch Smackdown more often." Fuck allyall haters, Bradshaw is perfectly fine in the ring (aka Stiff) and with Eddie he'll be able to fuck shit up.

I dunno if it has been brought up here, but Fedor has new friends: That's right, he's been training with Team Golden Glory. Fedor + flying knees = :)

One of these things is not like the other...

Since when did Herring become Eddie Munster?
