Angel Smells Like Fish

So the show hit the shark on its way down, that we're fairly sure of, but this week's episode has me thinking it may at least be trying to crawl out of the water.

Cordelia and Connor definitely rate on the 'ew, that's disgusting' metre even more so this week, added to the fact that it seems weird that two established demon hunters, one who lived on a bloody hell dimension, would just run and hide after receiving a thrashing from some demon that looks like a bad rip-off of Tim Curry in Legend. I mean, hello, when big bad comes a knocking, you do not cower in your hovel and make sweet passionate Sarah McLachlan desperation love. You go to the rest of the Los Angeles Scooby gang and help them beat the bloody shit out of the thing, even if you have to get thrown of a building in the process.

The rest of the episode actually wasn't too bad. It's nice to see some kind of purpose again to the show, even if there are some aspects of it that are falling a little low, as is the continued "working relationship" with Wesley.
