OK first off can I be the first to say "FINALLY". Now that that's said I have to say it was a good episode. Like I have said before on "Winning" It is nice to see yall taking a different path than most. It was strange to see Illyria play as Fred for a little while and Andrew, I aint even going to talk about him. I find it, how to put this, Oh heck I cant think of the right word to use, I don't want to use honnor but something along those lines, when you had Angel and the gang give Rondell and Gunn's old crew Gunn's body. And of course the twist at the end has me waiting of the next episode.

the episode was good. andrew was great and it's good that he is acting less geeky!i like the twist at the end with welsey's father holding a crossbow and packing his suitcase. i can't wait until the next episode!

Man, I hope people haven't forgotten about us. Anyone want to advertise us again at Whedonesque?

[Roon]

Great work!

I love Andrew's dialogue and once again great characterisation of all the characters. Illyria slipping into Fred was great. Internal and external conflict. Poor demigoddess. Nice return to the hyperion and the reactions of the "new" crew to it. Angel playing Spike and Illyria off each other was a hoot, as is Spike and Angel's snipes at each other. Bravo!

Love the cheese!

I hope the next episode isn't hit by too many delays. I love reading this. It's very fresh and in no way cheapens the sacrifices of Wesley and Gunn. Very touching. It stays true to the show, I think.

Can't wait to see what Wesley's father is up to.

P.S. if you are looking for something more constructive in my comments, then the only thing I thought odd was Andrew going up against the demon with a sword if he already knew it was his brother.

[Everlong]

What can I say. Good job again.

I thought it was a little funny, but did Andrew turning up and swinging a sword around remind anyone of Wesley showing up as a 'rogue demon hunter' in season one?

Nice little twist about his brother. I almost forgot he had one. Loving the writing of the characters. I don't think I can say anything else no one had said before.

Excelent job boys and girls... I thoroghly enjoyed this episode. It was much, much better than the first (no offence intended toward anyone by that comment). I don't know if you meant to, but I kind of liked you giving Spike the "Rouroni Kenshin"/"Samurai X" cross shaped scar.

In case you didn't know... When Illyria asked Spike why he couldn't see himself in the mirror. The answer I once read, is because the sight of the Vampire is an affront to God. So I guess you could say that Vampires, contrary to some demon's beliefs, are NOT on the bottom of the totum pole.

Actually, the vampires are low on the totem pole according to Whedon himself.

Of course, it doesn't seem that way alot of the time

lol, are my rip-offs really that easy to pin-point? ;D ;D

Actually yeah, I am a huge Rouroni Kenshin fan (highly recomned it to any anime fan we may have here). It was actually an involuntary ripoff, I wrote it up just because I thought it would be "cool" to have a vampire with a cross in his face. Didn't realize the shameless ripoff until I had written it.

I liked this episode. Although I would have liked to see more interaction with Rondell and less interaction with Andrew.

But I have a feeling we'll probably be seeing more exploration of a building conflict between Angel and Rondell's gang.
