This being a Halloween episode, let me take the time to guess the
costumes
of
our heroes.
Angel - Superman. He wants to stand for all things good, helping the
helpless
and such. Unfortunately, there seems to bus loads of kryptonite
getting in
his way and rendering him powerless.
Gunn - A puppet. Surely someone is pulling his strings. Why else
would be
become lawyer extraordinaire? Or maybe, he can be Roy to a lonely
Siegfried since
the famed cat fancier got attacked. We all know Gunn speaks cat.
Fred - Xena. It was just a few years ago that our dear girl was a
meek
scientist hiding in a hotel room. My how things have changed. She can
now
kick ass
and put men in their place. Watch out Knox.
Spike - A clown. Not because he's necessarily comical like a clown
but
because clowns are always the center of attention. Now a part of the
Fang
Gang,
Spike has clearly taken center stage, along with Angel. I'm a big
Spike
fan but I
miss the old gang's closeness.
Wes - The Invisible Man. Why do you ask? It may because Spike arrived
in
town
and the writers are trying to deal with that but why does Wes have to
suffer?
He's hardly in any of the episodes, popping up to offer maybe a line
of
dialogue and that's it. Let's hope he finds the magical formula that
will
flesh him
out.
Back to the episode....
A pretty decent episode as episodes go, but I still can't warm to Eve.
She
has
no bite like her predecessor. And face it. When you think of Wolfram
&
Hart
how can you not think of Lilah, or even Lindsey of season one and
two. Its
like
the Fang Gang is playing house until the parents come home.
Anyways, we find out that Lorne is the latest to take advantage of
Wolfram
&
Hart's many services. Unlike Gunn, he quickly found out what the cost
of
that
procedure was (Incredible Lorne, anyone?). Just makes you wonder at
what
cost
Gunn's sudden lawyerly knowledge will be. Only time will tell.
So it looks like Fred may find herself a new boyfriend. I'm not
holding my
breath for a longterm relationship. Spike is still a ghost. Wes
helped but
he's
still underused.
On to next week!!!
