The "Doyle" thing puzzles me, b/c Spike met the real Doyle in "In the Dark." Or is that the point? I'll need to rewatch. Was he saying, "Call me Doyle" as a call-back to that, if so, and I can't believe I'm saying this, they mave have underplayed it a bit.

Uck. Now that I think about it, that's exactly what they were doing and I'm just now arriving at the point in the short bus.

The way the lightening and growing silliness of Angel's dreams can be wanked, is that Angel, thanks to the neurowhatsits, was relaxing into the dream state, leading to the final hill are alive vision, by being made to feel less and less important, but also, less self-important. The parasite would want a happy host, rather than a tortured one, prone to rolling around and squashing said plastic crab. Like I said, it's wank. As dreams go, it wasn't a patch on Restless in either creepiness, absurdity and inscrutability.

Speaking of referencing Connor, wasn't it implied as at least one of the reasons for his emptiness, and Eve does say something to the effect of "Where's Junior?".

The blue fairy reminded me of the receptionist in Beetlejuice in the waiting room of hell/purgatory/whateveritwasitsbeenalongtimesinceI'veseenthemovie.

Speaking of Honkytonk, I don't think we've seen Lorne accurately read anyone since Slouching. Yeah, he read the W&H employees to weed out which ones to keep and which to, er, axe, but a lot of still evil ones seemed to have slipped through. Or maybe it wasn't until the fake Cordy's fake souling spell in Calvary(?), that Lorne's anagogism (I have no idea if that's the word I want, or want to have made up) went completely missing. And when he's in the limo in LotP and complaining about not having any superpowers, you'd think that being able to read people would be something that Angel would bring up to reassure him of his value to the gang unless Angel were having some doubts about it, himself.

Okay, shutting up, now. I had no idea I was going to ramble like that.
