Of course he still cares. He's just stubborn and has my "NOTHING: IT'S WHAT I DID WRONG" sickness. <br /><br />>>"Will Angel forgive Wesley now?"<br />Will Wesley forgive Angel (and to a lesser extent Cordelia for never seeing him)? Will Wesley forgive himself? It feels like the damage is done, and Wesley might not even be looking for forgiveness anymore.<br /><br />>>"Fred, who was doing so well with staking that vamp in the beginning and zapping Connor later, blew it by bitching out on Wesley."<br />Ehhh true the way she went about it irritated me but her concern was valid, Wes not warning them about Connor all summer, because what if Holtz left him with a grand revenge plan that included everyone in his crew? Cordelia was mysteriously gone too and that would've further legitimized such a concern. <br /><br />>>"I noticed that two of the hallucinations ended with Angel killing someone he loved: first Cordelia, and then Connor. Connor I can understand, but why Cordelia?"<br />Maybe he thinks Cordelia was involved since Connor showed up at the meeting place she set? Or just blames her. But I think it was mostly about being driven so mad that he's having indiscriminate murder fantasies. The first thing he did upon release was grasping Wes by the throat again. <br /><br />>>"— Alexis Denisof got a better spot in the credits, and he deserved it."<br />Oh yeah cool, I didn't notice and just immediately assumed he was last... but no before they were all credited by first appearance order. Interesting. <br /><br />>>"— Wesley has apparently lost his glasses for good."<br />Punished Wes doesn't have the luxury of decent eyesight (of course he could just have switched to lenses but I like to think he gave up reading)<br /><br />>>"— What exactly was Lorne referring to with that Fluffy remark?"<br />Fred's fluffy bumfluff, as the show hints<br /><br />You didn't quote the best line!

What on earth makes Wesley think Connor won't kill them because they're human? He doesn't know him, he grew up in a hell dimension, and as far as Connor's concerned, Fred & Gunn were in on the plot to murder Holtz. And in fact, Wesley's quite wrong. Remember, Connor was genuinely puzzled that Sonny didn't want him to kill her dealer. <br /><br />For all we know (as of this point in the season), Connor might have planned to murder them at some point. After all, he was trained by Holtz, and Holtz knew a thing or two about the long game when it comes to revenge.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78909337925667757112011-08-22T09:00:09.279-04:002011-08-22T09:00:09.279-04:00I agree. This was a terrific premiere.
I didn'...I agree. This was a terrific premiere.<br /><br />I didn't get as much enjoyment from Fred torturing Connor though. He's a child in my mind, and, no matter how much I understand Fred's anger, that looked like child abuse to me.<br /><br />Imagine Fred and Gunn as foster parents to a teenage girl. She does something truly awful. Should they apprehend her and keep her from getting away? Yes. Should they call the authorities? Yes. Should they tie the girl up and take turns zapping her with a cattle prod? Eeew.<br /><br />In case you're wondering why I changed Connor's sex in the analogy, it's because I read somewhere else that Fred is a girl and Connor is a boy so that makes it okay, but can we not all agree that children of any sex should not be tortured?<br /><br />Add to this her inexplicable pettiness with Wesley, and Fred gets a big zero this week.Dimitri A.C.

At first I thought it was to have that "just after sex" look, but she went to work like that, so it seems she's sticking to it. Maybe the Angel PTB thought looking more natural would make her more sympathetic. Anyway, Stephanie Romanov is beautiful and her character is fun and sexy, though too evil for my taste in women.<br /><br />And the "talk" Angel has with Connor was one of the best scenes Boreanaz has done.
