DISHARMONY

The Good;
Wes and co take delight in humiliating Angel and it is funny as hell. All the Harmony stuff is excellent.

The Bad;
Understandably a lightweight ep, Cordy pretty much in denial throughout, she needs a friend and wants to believe she can trust Harmony. Harmony says that there are over 100 vamps in the theatre but they seem to almost all flee at the sight of the 5 strong AI team?

Best line:
Gunn "I say nuh and uh"

Jeez, how did they get away with that?

Kinky dinky:
Harmony is so cute in her babydoll nightie. Her ode to the joys of human blood seems to even tempt Angel. Gunn also seems beguiled by Harm and vice versa until he discovers she's a vampire

Captain Subtext;
Lesbian subtext between Cordy and Harmony and then more explicit lesbian text between Cordy and Willow, CC not aware of Will's relationship with Tara up until this point. The cult leader wants to turn Wes and Gunn and eat Cordy suggesting women aren't really his thing. Cordy praises Angel as having a 'gay man's taste in clothes'.

Know the face, different character; 2

What the fanficcers thought;

Questions and observations;
Cordy's jacket makes her look like a Prussian Hussar or something. Interesting to see Wes and Angel silently vie for the leadership role. Now I know an awful lot of people hate this ep with a vengence but I think it's great, Harmony is such a breath of fresh air, a nice light ep after the intensity of the Darla arc. Love Wes' Xena moment, "Kill'em all!"
Marks out of 10; 8/10
 
Hahaha yeah Harmony is a pain in this. So annoying, i feel like slapping her. HA. 🙂
 
This episode is actually better than In Harm's Way imo. All the components are there: the humour and character arcs for the main cast. As it's been said, it's nice to show the vulnerable side of Angel and have it underminded. When you have a tragic character and it's played to point of absurdity it doesn't always work but in the case of Angel it actually inhances his character.

I don't, however like how Angel treated Wes. His attempts to bond with Cordy by buying her clothes? Dispite the fact that Cordy was pleased with it, it's a total cop out and he doesn't bother trying to mend fences with Wes.
 
Hubby and I were stoked to have Harmony in this episode. Someone ^^up there^^ said it was a breath of fresh air after the Darla story-arc... Really lightened the mood for both shows. Lately both Angel and Buffy have been making us wanna cut our wrists (not really, but can we say depress-o much?). I think, despite appearances, Harmony is a really complex character that a lot of people should be able to relate to. The idea of knowing what she is, but wanting to be something different, something better, even though the odds are slim to none. Wanting desperately to change and to fight the good fight... even with the being evil. It's complex and confusing, and sure she's kind of a ditz, but I salute her. :-D

...and suuure she got a little overtaken by the words of the televampalist, but to be fair, he was telling her everything her searching unsoul was looking to hear... that she had purpose and could be something... not to mention, it was catering specifically to her more animalistic cravings. I personally can't blame her. Afterall, her with the soullessness.

Why would anyone hate this episode? I like it 😀 Harmony is so annoying, but still I like this ep 😛
Click to expand...

I don't hate it but I certainly don't like it. :tongue3: Too much Harmony, really can't stand her.
It has it's moment but mostly I'm just like gees, stake the ditz and get on with it.
 
I generally liked this episode, we needed some humor after the really depressing previous episodes. At a certain point Harmony surely gets annoying (does she ever shut up??) but it was good for the episode and it was fun to watch. I've never really liked Cordelia and I don't know why but at the end of this episode I can't stand her..she annoys me..maybe for the clothes..it takes that little to forgive Angel or being mad at him was a facade and she was just waiting for him to actually do something? I don't know but Angel smiling knowing he got her friend back was nice.
 
what's with the Harmony hatred? Meanie heads...

I like her... she's blonde, cute, ditzy... HAT TRICK!!!!!
 
Harmony does really annoy probably because shes a bit of an idiot lol but for some reason this is one of my favourite Angel eps, I love it theres so many laugh out loud moments 🙂
 
This episode is fun fun fun! but honestly I hate the fact that they did not stake Harmony, she's a vampire! she doesn't have a soul. I love Harmony but someone should of staked her a long time ago..

Best line:
Charles Gunn: Now we're saving a vampire from vampires? I got two words for that: Nuh and uh!

Great line.
This was a simple, fun episode. Every now and then - it's good to have a lighthearted episode in the midst of everything else. I liked it.

Yay! Fun Ep.

the first conversation between Harmony and Cordelia is great:

Harmony: You! ... Youcutyourhair!!
Cordelia: Oh erm yeah.
Harmony: Well I think it's adorable ... off your neck.

and then the bedroom scene lmao

it gets better and better 🙂

now i have tears in my eyes :
Cordelia: harmony's a vampire? really? O My God! I'm so embarrassed
