Angel 10/29/2003 (Possible Spoilers)

[Henry]

I think I can see where this season's going, and if I'm right, and Joss' crew plays this for all it's worth, the gang is going to be gazing straight into the Abyss, in the truest Neitzschean sense.

Share!

I was just alluding to the fact that I think the theme of this season is going to be that Angel's team has been given the ultimate temptation - and has failed. They are becoming Wolfram and Hart Employees in more than just word; they're schmoozing with the darkest of Man and Beast, they are defending the wicked, and before long, I have the distinct feeling they're going to be turning down smaller helpless clients because they're too busy or don't have the time.

(side note - I'm hoping they address the Faith breaking out of prison issue at some point - if nothing else, for Gunn to toss in a throwaway line about "pulling some strings and dropping Faith out of the wanted list" entirely. Who here remembers she's a fugitive?)

I believe they're going to start losing the mission entirely, not just "modifying it." And what better way than an opposing good-guy team trying to take down Wolfram and Hart to drive the point home that they are NOWHERE NEAR home?

That's all I'm getting at. I think by mid-or-end season, we're going to see some real unloveable heroes at the head of W&H.

I think the whole no sun in LA thing, vampire riots, whatnot kind of shook the authorities for a time. I'm sure their list has gotten a bit too long for any one specific fugitive.

Though, it'd have been nice to see more mention of the real world after the last season. They're really turned W&H into the World in many ways. Little interaction outside of it or a direct mission.

They should just rip W&H off for all the money/ resources they can, then flee.
