Okay, I admit that Angel is not the world's greatest tv show and is far from High Art. And I only came in this year starting when Faith came back, and missed everything after Connor first popped up from last year.
But they are just having so much fun with their apocalypse, as opposed to all the moping and whining I've been seeing on Buffy. And it is an apocalypse worthy of the hype.
This week -- well, no spoilers. But I will note that Angel's motivational speeches, at their darkest and glummest, are better than Buffy's. And the climax of this episode could almost make me believe that, yes, Virginia, the writers had exactly this in mind from episode one.
No, I don't really believe it. But I respect a good con (as in retcon) like this.
