Tomorrow

Angel Episode Review

In which things never go right for Angel. He should know that by now.

What Happened

Just as Connor seems to be accepting Angel as his father, and Cordelia realizes that she may be in love with him, Angel's life falls apart.

The Good

• As Cordelia was hesitantly telling Groo that she didn't want to do "it" at the office, I got the feeling that he was playing deliberately dumb. Seriously passive-aggressive.
• "Ok, we'll give it a try." Connor's creepy smile. Angel is so dead.
• "I want to be like you." Damn, Connor knows exactly what button to push with Angel.
• Connor is a smart - and vicious - little demon spawn. I think he takes after his mother more than they'd like to admit.

The Bad

• Angel and Cordi are such good friends. I sort of see them together, but it's such a bore when they stand around listening, dazed and gawping, while other people tell them how much they're in love with each other.
• I know Angel was overdosing on the Dad-thing, but Connor grew up in a hell dimension, do you really think he ever saw a movie?
• Cordelia's higher being? I. Don.t. Buy. It.

The Cliche

• Just as Angel has the chance to be happy, disaster strikes.

Best Lines

Lilah: "Mind if I join you?"
Wesley: "On many levels and with great intensity."

Angel to Fred, as she joins their practice session: "You're a vampire. You're not in Cats.

Fred: "He's happy. Not perfectly happy, I hope."

What Did I Think?

Setting aside the whole Angel-Cordi thing, and if they had shown us Cordi's powers in more than two episodes, the end would have been far more effective.
