Tonight's Angel

Leave it to Andrew to deliver one of the best lines of the season:

"Check the viewscreen, Uhura. I've got 12 slayers here, and none of them have dated you."

That was a fantastic line but nothing will ever beat "Like nickels?"
I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

Tom Lenk gets these inane outta-nowhere lines and gives them off-kilter hilarity. I love Andrew. :)

I wish I could remember the whole bit comparing Spike's resurrection Gandalf the White returning from the dead...

The Gandalf line was so sudden that I can't remember it all either, but it was hilarious.

Best. Line. Ever.

I'm quite pleased with last night's Angel. Lorne even traded in his cellphone to uselessly sit in front of a laptop!

I know, he was looking at that thing like everything was written in Russian or something. The only prop Lorne should ever have is a cocktail. Really.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Especially Andrew's funny bits. And Spike and Angel are funnier together--soemthing about JM must wake DB up a bit.

But Andrew seems like Wes a few years ago (before Wes lost all his humor). I'm becoming bored with the whole Junior Angel storyline w/ Spike.

And can I mention how sick I am of Fred knowing everything about every kind of science or medicine?

The difference between Andrew and old Wes is Andrew knows what a fake he is. Which makes those rare moments when he steps up and delivers all the more surprising and delightful (eg the "Uhura" quote)

Don't get me started on Fred and the science. Just. Do. Not. Get. Me. Started.

You just fail to understand that she has a PhD in Science! (wasn't she originally a mathematician?) and her M.S. degrees in Weird Science, Pseuodscience, and Technobabble. See, now it makes sense.

So did she go to school at University of Phoenix?

(yeah, I think she was originally a grad student in mathematics)

With supplementary courses from The Learning Annex.

I missed the episode with Andrew. *sob* I don't really enjoy watching Angel. I miss Buffy--it was much better. Although I have to say that adding James to the cast was a wise decision as he is very good at comedic timing and makes the show watchable. I just can't get into it though, even with him. We have the first two seasons on DVD and will continue to collect them. I will probably watch all of the episodes that way. I started watching the first season and found it much better than it is now. It's gotten kind of weird with the W&H law firm and everything.

Do I get demoted to treasurer of the Geekboy Worshippers now? I still love Andrew but obviously I'm not hip to when he's going to be on tv. I suck.

None of the main cast members are particularly good comedic actors. They can deliver a funny line, but they don't have the timing and skill to bring out the humor in the rest of the dialog.

DB can be funny, but not when they're piling the Angel Gloom and Doom up to his eyeballs. I think he's better in scenes with JM 'cause then he gets to liven it up a little. Otherwise, blah. '

We won't demote you yet, but we are putting you on probation.

It's good to know someone appreciates geekboys.

If you really want to show your appreciation, you can always wear it on your body. ThinkGeek.com offers fine clothing such as this t-shirt (also available as a babydoll t for those so inclined):
