Angel episode title game

[Xin Rong]

OK I realised that the wisdom and creativity used to create episode titles of Angel aren't really appreciated as much as they should be, so i decided to create this game to motivate us all to think more about the episode titles and the genius behind some of them.

With this game someone start with the episode title of the first episode, followed by an explanation of the title and any other additional details. Then someone else will do the same with the second title, then the third etc until we reach the final episode. If you have anyting to add do it via quote or if its only a small comment in order to ensure some resemblence of order maybe you could do it using the karma/comment on post option. (in order to view an example of how to play the game please visit the buffy version of this game for an example)

nice idea, xin rong. guess i'm first...

City of...
the name 'los angeles' came from spaniards who first settled there in 1781. they named the area, 'El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula', which means 'the river of our lady the queen of the angels of Porciuncula'. i guess over the years, the area became known as Los Angeles and everything else was dropped.
Los Angeles grew to be translated as 'the city of angels'. the title for this episode, therefore, has a few different meanings.
first, the writers are welcoming the audience to the new city in which the show is set, but also showing that the city is by far one belonging to angels. but they are also introducing the lead character of the show, and making a bold statement that would run throughout the series...'city of ...Angel.'
