Habeas Corpses

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY "“ When Angel (David Boreanaz) realizes that there may be some connection between Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) and the Beast (guest star Vladimir Kulich), he learns that Connor is trapped within Wolfram & Hart where the building is under lock-down and the Beast is on a brutal killing spree. Angel, Wesley (Alexis Denisof), Gunn (J. August Richards) and Fred (Amy Acker) must figure out how to spring Connor before he is killed as well. Charisma Carpenter and Andy Hallett also star. Skip Schoolnik directed the episode written by Jeffrey Bell.

NB - This thread will be open for posts after the episode has aired tonight at 9.00pm to avoid the risk of spoilers being posted.
 
::wave:: I enjoyed it but it wasn't great.........A bit too Resident Evil-like for me,still solid though.........Shame Wesley's back with the good guys I liked the ambiguity,I'm probably alone in that::bat:: 😀
 
I liked this episode. I didn't expect to, but it was good. It reminded me of Resident Evil too.
I am also glad that Weley is being re-intergrated back into the group. I missed Wesley.

Four stars ****
 
I enjoyed this episode, though i didn't think it was as exciting as last week's.

Wesley chose a side!!, yay!!.. he's back!!! 🙂 i think we kinda knew he would eventually.

Cordelia realising that sleeping with Connor was perhaps not the best decision ever, like d'uh! and obviously Connor didn't take that bit of news well.

I liked the scenes between Angel and Connor. It's a strange relationship, at the beginning of the season he told Connor to get out of the hotel and they seemed to be even more miles apart emotionally. But Angel keeps his eyes open for him, making sure that he's okay etc. The scene where he hugged Connor saying he was glad he was alive, and Connor's look of bewilderment.. and did anyone see Connor's face when Angel mentioned the White Room and how he'd been there before when he'd been looking for Connor when he'd first been taken from him?.. he seemed almost.. surprised and a little.. happy? that his father had done that. But with the Connor and Cordelia sleeping together thing, who knows what will happen now between father and son. As i said, it's strange, to me anyways.

The stand out scene between them was when Connor asked him what a zombie was, Angel described them as being "slow, dimwitted things that craved human flesh" to which Connor replied.."like you". 😉

And the scene at the end, when he told Cordelia to take her new boyfriend and get the hell out.. the expression on her face when she realised that he knew!.. next week's episode should be interesting 🙂
 
This episode was a bit Resident Evil - but the zombies were not exactly frightening! They were far too slow-witted - I had wondered how Gunn managed to fight off a mess of them but apparently it couldn't have been very hard at all...😕

And why did the evil little girl in the white room help them? Because it was the last thing she was able to do against the Big BAd that sucked the power out of her??

Angel and Connor's relationship is complex for sure - not made any easier by Cordelia and her dumb decision.

I wish Gunn and Fred would hurry up and end it - it's not like we're exactly gonna be surprised, it's so obvious she'll end up with Wes...Methinks we haven't seen the end of Lilah though (wasn't it good of Wes to rescue her?)

Bringing me to another question - Why DIDN'T the big bad jsut kill her like everyone else at Wolfram & Hart? Why did he poke her? Has she been impregnated with something?

hmmm....
 
hmm, I think the most interesting thing now is: what next? only about 10 people escaped from W&H. They weren't too high up, apart from Lilah, so where now for the law firm?

Considering the number of times they helped Angel out? that's a serious drawback to the series. Also, from what I have read,
the beast sticks around a while yet.
Excellent, finally an enemy that they can't just snap the neck of.

(*hums the tune of It's the end of the world as we know it *)
 
I first got the Resident Evil vibe when the Beast was stalking around. He reminded me of Mr X from Resident Evil 2. Then when the zombies started appearing that just topped it off!! I liked it though, I like zombie stuff although the W&H ones werent that scary!!

I liked the return to the white room. That 'girl' is/was freaky!

Although I'm enjoying season 4 at this stage, I still think that season 3 was better.

Oh and Gunn and Fred have got to stay together, I dont think I could stand Wes and Fred. Although I am glad that he's getting closer to AI again.

I'm glad Lilah survived and Gavin died. Now Lilah should join AI as resident Emma Frostesque bitch!!

I think the Beast did intend to kill her, he just wanted to torture her for a bit, hence the poking in the stomach part. But it was then that Connor tried to be all heroic and stab him with a knife that subsequently broke. As the Beast threw him off and across the room, Lilah took her chance and escaped. The Beast went after her, but Wesley came to the rescue and they escaped.
 
Interesting episode!!!

I am hating Gunn more and more, he is so tight to Wes!!!
Im glad Lilah is alive and kicking. Glad Gavin is finally gone.

I enjoyed this episode, I give it ****!!!
