The heroes save everyone, and make it back to LA! They bring back Fred, who I suddenly found very cool and intriguing. I’m curious how she’ll handle coming back to Earth and reacclimating and if she has old family and stuff. Somehow I doubt that angle will be a focus of anything [...]

This was a fun episode. Like the title implies, there was a lot of switcheroos in the story. For instance, Cordelia was initially shown as a slave in Pylea. Then they make her their princess! She likes this, of course. Then she realizes it’s to mate with some Grussallugg thing, [...]

I cannot figure out what I think of Lindsay. Sometimes I think he’s remarkably uninteresting, especially for a Buffyverse character (i.e., like Riley). But other times I think he was a pretty good foil for Angel. This episode was the latter. But it ended with Lindsay quitting Wolfram & Hart in [...]
