Oh, man. These are the most merciless writers in Hollywood.

Characters dying... ok, it happens, and in the Buffy/Angel-verse, it doesn't mean they aren't coming back, so I guess as an actor I could live with it.

Good characters turning evil, evil characters turning good... that's great stuff; lots of room to grow and stretch and tell a good story.

Brooding, tortured hero becoming a felt hand puppet...? Oh, that's just cruel. Talk about being taken down a peg or two.

And perversely, it had me wishing that _all_ the heroes had been turned into puppets. "Oh, who's the cute widdle Spikey-wikey? Who's my Gunn-y-poo?"

LOL!

Still haven't been able to find out what the hell Joss was smoking when he came up with the idea.

Glad you clearly loved it as much as me!

Also: James Marsters' best fight sequence ever. He'll likely never top that one.

My all-time favorite Angel episode. PuppetAngel is just sooo cute.

Speaking of such things, have a gander at this. It's a fan produced comic that takes place a few days after the events in "Smile Time".

And once you finish the series (emphasis on finish the series, there are spoilers involved), have a look at this one too. It's a crossover with Fray, a comic done by Joss that tells the story of a slayer 200 years in the future.

Ok, I've finished the Angel series, and I've previously read Fray, so I've just gone to check out the crossover comic.

Wow.

I admit I'm not a regular comic reader, so I probably miss all sorts of subtleties, but to my eye (and mind's ear) she got both worlds dead on. And it's a plausible cross-over, too, which makes it all the more intriguing.

Thanks for the ref :)
