That Wesley bit is the highlight of the episode for me!

Juliette Gaming

Yeah, it's definitely a murder/suicide. The parts with Gene were my least favourite in this episode, but I adored Angel and The Host having adventures together. Angel asking him about when he learned to drive cracked me right up 🤣

Juliette Gaming

That is honestly SO very sad. He seemed like such a talented and gentle soul, too.

Melanie

I never liked this episode either. I like the school mascot comments and watching The Host help Angel, plus watching Cordy, Wes and Gunn solve a case on their own. Aside from that, I didn't like the whole thing between Gene and that woman. The whole "sympathy bone" for the plot was stupid; if you're not feeling it in the relationship, just end it, otherwise it isn't fair on either party. Gene was a terrible human being for what he tried to do and he didn't deserve the sympathy (at least from my perspective).

Jonathan Hall

I agree it's pretty much a murder suicide. It might not be sympathy for sympathy's sake though. They may just be trying to do anything to stop him from doing that again because since he's human they can't kill him or hold him. Since he was already basically going to die, I don't think threatening him would be effective either.

There are a few things about this episode I like. Seeing Virginia again for example - and the way she acts too, it's just fun. And I love the Host's talk about holding a note and listening for the change. But other than that I've never really liked this episode, but it wasn't until I saw TPN's review that I knew why. Gene is effectively doing a murder-suicide. And in the end, he's the one getting sympathy. Not the girl he was trying to kill. Who, to be clear, was also not handling things correctly - but whatever her faults she didn't deserve to be removed from time just so Gene didn't want to let her go.

Just a spoiler-free (concerning the Buffyverse) information about the host's actor Andy Mallet: It's good that you decided not to google him because his work as an actor and singer is almost exclusively in Angel so every online information of him is full of spoilers. This is not because of a lack of talent but sadly the actor became very ill shortly after his time with Angel and didn't continue his career as an actor. I also haven't found any published music by him outside the show, but maybe there is some. He died very young and we will never know what could have become of his music and acting career (without green prosthetics) otherwise.

Melanie

I never noticed the resemblance between the guys on here and the Gentlemen on Buffy! You point out so many things that slip passed me lol. I'm highly perceptive in real life, but not so much when it comes to TV shows 😂 I'm glad things are looking up for Cordy, Wes and Gunn though 😊

David Schmidt

Yes, things are really looking up for Angel (It's just a name) Investigations. I loved Wesley's Sherlock Holmesian wrap up of their first paying case. Thanks for a great reaction.

This has always seemed to be just your average filler episode to me. I like it well enough but it's nothing special, and the main science guy is so boring I've already forgotten his name not 5 minutes after watching the episode! 😂 As for getting The Host to read your future, which you mentioned in your outro, I'd prefer not to know. If he tells you something bad is coming I imagine it would act as some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy and you'd end up causing said bad thing to happen as you try to prevent it. Thanks for another great reaction Juliette and I hope the rest of your week is stress free!
