Re: Angel 5x1 and otter blood -- I couldn't believe you guys went into a long discussion about Harmony putting otter into Angel's cow blood. Whedon says his favorite line in the whole episode was, "The secret ingredient is otter" but nobody ever notices it.

Re: Angel 5x1 and Gunn -- J. August Richards, who played Gunn, was not happy with his character since Gunn & Fred broke up, which left him at loose ends. So they reinvented him for season 5, which also helped develop the season's theme of compromise. And of course there had been hints in earlier seasons that Gunn was really smart and observant, as he more than once came up with the answer to a puzzle before anyone else. Oh, and nobody noticed, but Whedon said Richards REALLY wanted to have hair this season.

Re: Angel 5x1 and the long one-take scene at the beginning -- In the DVD commentary, Joss said it took over 20 takes, since either an actor would blow a line or the camera would bump into something. An added complication was that Alexis Denisof, who plays Wesley, had developed Bell's Palsy, so one side of his face was paralyzed and all the scenes for the whole episode required they have him in profile or light the paralyzed side so it couldn't be seen.
