i am going to attempt to start a new UM tradition here

parts I liked:
When Ilyria turns into Fred in order to "lie" to Wes.
When Fred turns into Ilyria as she punches the sorcerer who's name I have forgotten.
Lindsey's sword fighting scene.
Angel and Conner teaming up.
Lorne shooting Lindsey.
When Angel drinks Hamilton's blood and becomes super-strong and super-fast.
Just the part when the Arch Duke pulls the plug out of his servant to get a drink.
How Angel killed the Arch Duke.
When those three demons of The Circle of the Black Thorn turned on their lights and Ilyria was just standing there.
Spike.

There's a lot of other stuff, but I'm tired. It's around 1:30 a.m. right now and I haven't slept that well since....you know.

I was kind of dissapointed in Gunn. All he did was kill some lousy vampires.
 
what i liked about gunn was his kind of return to who he should have been all season AND i was psyched to see the fucking stake things on his arms that angel and spike have both used. those things are fucking cool.

i actually was a bit bummed by connor but not because he fought with angel but rather because of the conversation they had where he tells angel he knew he was his father. it was better left unsaid and implied by his comments in the episode from a few weeks ago.

but really other than that i loved it all but for me what summed up the episode was angel signing away his chances at the shanshu prophecy. that really made all the difference. in fact i went back and watched "Judgement," the season opener from season 2 and how much impoirtance was placed on his eventual humanity and now its gone.
