Can anyone tell me whether or not a new Angel will be shown on the 26th? Or is "Destiny" the last episode of the sweeps period?

I thought that Wednesday's episode was excellent, though slightly draggy. Looking at Friends and Friends' Friends, it seems that there's a broad opinion that it was the best of the season to date. I liked last weeks a little better, though. Of course, I loved the werewolf episode too, so I cannot be trusted. But to prefer "Life of the Party" to anything else this season? Now that's a minority opinion.

Wave your freak flag high.

FUCK. Why did I have to miss the one episode that has everyone talking (and btw, la la la, I can't hear you)?? The werewolf episode was okay (and I didn't hate the girl) but for one glaring omission: they really really needed to at least MENTION Oz. (As in, "Don't worry, chiquitita, you *can* live a normal life 25 days a month. I once knew a dude who managed it.") Don't get me wrong, LotP was not a great ep -- I'm not so much of a freak as to love Hulk!Lorne, and the handling of the "sleep removed" idea was clunky -- but At. Least. We. Got. To. See. The. Characters. Instead of JUST Spike and his Zellweger-esque sidekick, Fred. God I hate her. In fact, currently I hate all the women on the show (Harmony would be okay if the writers knew how to use her better). I've been jonesing like crazy for Cordelia.

In conclusion,
(1) Fuck you, Joss.
but also
(2) I have yet to see either of the 2 episodes that aired in November, both of which are rumored to have been significantly better than the preceding (4? 5?).

It is my theory that they did mention Oz, subtly. Spike says that he was once fought with a werewolf for hours. (To which Fred responded, "Angel killed him with a pen.") What Spike left out was that the sparring was verbal, the subject of disputation was whether the Sex Pistols were better with Sid Vicious than with Glen Matlock, and the fight could basically be boiled down to:

SPIKE:
Sid, man, Sid represents what it means to be punk.
That feeling when you're on the edge all the time, when
the wankers in their suits and their handcrafted shoes
have to watch out because you'd as soon slice them open
or gob on them as give them the time of day. Sid Vicious
is the very blood of punk, the marrow, the bloody
lymphatic system.

OZ:
Dude, the man couldn't play.

LOL! Perfect, d'H! And yeah, I can totally see this conversation taking place, with neither side backing down from their respective positions. And it fits too: Spike would be all about Sid, the image of the man, the punk, while Oz would be, it's all about the music, guy.

Oh Oz, how I miss you. I need an Oz icon.
