I was watching "Power Play" yesterday and when Angel uses "The Glamour" near the end when he reveals his plans, he says they have 6 minutes before the Glamour collapses (meaning it will stop working). Being that I was a little bored and somewhat curious, I timed it. From the time when Angel first says the magic word to start the Glamour to the time when Hamilton walks into the room at the start of the next episode (the series finale "Not Fade Away") is about 5 minutes and 20 seconds.

They made it just in time.

Yes, I am a loser.

Hehe I kind of figured that. But who knew that much dialogue could fit into that much time?

America loves a winner!

Hey, better you timed it than me!

But the real question was, did Hamilton (adam baldwin) really know what was going on inside The Glamour somehow, or was Angel et al really betrayed by Harmony, just as Angel figured she would ?

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Everytime I watch that episode I think about timing how long they talk for, but thanks to you I know. I'm a little surprised because it feels longer than 6 mins.

I was too. I also thought it was longer than 6 minutes. I might have timed it incorrectly (it was not exactly a scientific measurement), so feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. I wonder if the producers/director made an effort to get it under 6 minutes. Plus, 6 minutes seems like an odd number to use. Perhaps someone wrote the scene, had it performed, and then added the "6" to make it fit?
