Angel 1-14-04 (SPOILERS)

[Pielorinho]

Didja see Firefly, though, KnowtheToe? Because that's where bunches of Joss-attention was going in 2002, and it thoroughly and completely rocked.

Now Harmony is struggling to be good. Why? how does this make sense? Did I miss something?

Harmony isn't really "good". I mean she panicks and knocks out three people...

in the ep, she explains that she has no where else to go, she isn't good at surviving on her own, and Angel & Co are really the only people she can depend on I think.

What I don't understand is, how did the vampire typist's plan work?

Break into Harmony's apartment? Hello??? What about the whole "can't enter unless invited" thing? What about that sticking point? Harmony had no idea who she was, so she had never invited her in.

Can someone explain how it worked?

(And I won't get into the whole "let's have a big evil-guy plan, instead of staking her while she was drugged unconscious" thing. I mean, she even violated her plan by interceding in the break room. As long as you've set someone up like that, why not let them go completely nuts, so they'll be staked by someone else?)

Um, Harmony's a vampire too.
So the invitation rule doesn't apply.

yeah, they established that in what looked like a fairly early angel I caught...

what are the limits of that anyway? They can wander into public places and other vamps lairs, and an invitation can only be revoked by magic. You can only invite someone into your own home, not a place where you are a guest... And dracula seemed to break the rule in his silly buffy episode. What if a vamp had an invitation to a house from someone who no longer lived there? Are all non humans unworthy or just vamps... I always find myself wondering on things like this if the writers started out with a set of rules or just made the "rules" up as they went along...

Watch that episode again. Joyce (Buffy's mom) had invited Dracula in, because he was an attractive, older man, and it's hard for someone her age to meet someone like that.

IAnd she is so much hotter than Eve. Seriously. Getting out of her bed.... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

I'm pretty sure my rear end is hotter than Eve. It sucks that I had to wait until tonight (Saturday) to see the ep (stupid basketball on Wed), because my expectations were greater, but overall, I thought it was a pretty good fluff episode, and better than several of this season's episodes, esp. the werewolf one. It is nice to know that I'm not the only one to see Angel as a big butthead. I enjoyed the chopstick fight, I liked that Spike was able to make Harm see the events in a more positive light, and I almost buy the reason he returned.

The high point of that episode was the Weyland-Yutani reference in the promotional video at the very beginning.

Plus Yoyodyne (from Buckaroo Banzai) and Newscorp (Rupert Murdoch's company, who also owns Fox).

Thanks. I've been meaning to do a search on Yoyodyne. It's been driving me nuts trying to remember what the heck it was from. I haven't seen BB in a long time. I didn't catch the Newscorp reference at all though.

 

[Staffan]

I didn't catch the Newscorp reference at all though.

Probably because it's a real-world corporation and the two others would focus you on fictional ones, plus it's probably better known for its subsidiaries (like Fox).
