Reactions to 5.12 "You're Welcome"
Racquetball Thursday?
Heheheh.
One thing what i didn't understand was why Spike was automatically like "I'm out of the running" when there is still the phones and the vagueness of the shanshu. I mean Angel definitely still has the odds in his favor if the prophecy is even legit, but it just didn't seem like Spike to say that.
A lot of stuff about the ambiguity of shanshu was staged by lindsay/eve but not all of it.
Plus it's kind of annoying because it takes away the whole "who will win it, if anyone at all?" excitement that was starting to become the arc of the season. But who knows?
If we've learned anything from Angel, it's that prophecies are often b*llsh*t or at best inaccurate.
FUN FACTS
Wesley says that Lindsay's tattoos(protection symbols) are derived from Enochian language. I think what he is referring to angelic script, the sacred writing of angels that was passed down to mankind, according to mystic Jewish texts.
Also, the method of "magic" that was supposedly used by Elizabethan sorcerer John Dee (who was also Queen Elizabeth's physician and metaphysician) is often referred to as Enochian, also derived from mystical Jewish texts and Hermeticism."
