No one told me McNab had been added to the cast! I mean...Harmony as a regular? Just seems a bit late and pointless. Anyway good for her. Eve was better this episode and for some reason I found her much more attractive. The bit at the begining with Spike and Angel was very funny. Spike with his little case of beer. I just feel sorry for Andy Hallett. It just seems that this year the writers have gone out of their way to give him less screen time. Times when he could have just been standing there and maybe say something they have him walk off. Hamilton kicked ass. But I am biased as I think Adam Baldwin is so cool after seeing him in Firefly. J. August showed off some more of his acting talent and it was nice to see him lose the suit. I know the Wesley / Illyria scenes where meant to be deep, emotional parts that pointed out the faults in all Humans. But they were just funny. The lack of respect that Wesley showed to the demon God and she just took it. Twit, Smurth ect. Classic lol. Can't wait for next weeks episode.

Mercedes was added because apparently they were to add her to the credits next year but look how far that panned out. Its a homage considering she first appeared in Buffy 1.02 (which is part two of the two-part premiere, so you could say shes been here since the start).
Anyway, it is a good episode but the Wesley and Illyria parts are a bit dry, the only thing that livened them up was the smurf line and seeing Frd again.
Lorne is dropping down more but as someone said, he's just the bright light in a rather brooding office of Wolfram and Hart.

This one felt like a bit of an average ep - but then again, average Angel is generally better than most stuff on TV. There were some nice one-liners, a good bit of plot and character development and a superb "Stepford Wives" style Hell/holding dimension but it just didn't engage me as much as the last couple of eps did. I think it was a bit of a "holding pattern" ep - good enough but building things up for the real killer eps to come...
Nice to see Harmony and Illyria in the opening credits though...

Green and proud of it
I agree it was kinda an average ep. Not much going on.
I was very happy too see the old Gunn back, yay. But i didn't like how he stayed behind 🙁
Wes/Illyria scenes were a bit boring, and funny. LOL @ smurf.
Didn't really get me hooked this episode anyway, give it a 7/10.

Personally I though this episode was Hilrious with Lindsey...mind boggaling at first but really enjoyable...I'm happy with how it played out with Gunn at the end!! xD
I liked this episode, the gun part in the hell-suburb place was quite funny. I was a sad about Gunn staying behind though. I found the Fred/Illyria scenes a bit boring, I know they were supposed to be deep etc but they weren't very interesting. I was suprised at Harmony being added to the cast, I know she's been there for ages but I'm never really seen her as a regular, just a recurring character.

Potential
I thought this was a good ep, very funny with the lindsey thing, just wondering is gunn gone for good then now?
