And when he cuts the cake, but the cake is really Troi, and she's screaming out in pain...man, that was awsome! ;-)

My brother and I said, at some point during the episode:

"Cellular peptide cake."

"With mint frosting."

Still, I was more engaged with this episode than I was with "Harm's Way". But, I'm sick of not seeing Lorne for more than 30 seconds. They need to either use him, or get rid of him. At this point we've seen much more of Harmony.

Still bored, but not quite so much as with last week's episode.

Lindsey is intriguing, and my ears really perked up when he said "Call me Doyle." I'm not sure I like where this plot is going, but that is probably just because Spike is sucking the life out of everything. Still, I'm intrigued enough to stick around a while longer.

That creature thing was just bad. Like "Bad Eggs"-creature bad.

Agree about the comedic slant to the hallucinations. That was just weird.

I want to see an episode dealing with Bear, however. He was the most interesting thing about tonight's ep.

Next week's episode looks interesting...

At least "Bad Eggs" had a pretty compelling story (and wicked ending) to make up for the cheesy "facehugger" effects.

My High Point: Spike Yelling At The Victim.

I also liked the very disturbing scene in Angel's bed featuring Spike and fake-Buffy.

I was too distracted by the obviousness of them hiding the girl's face and the weird sound of Buffy's voice. Although the latter could be excused because it was a dream/hallucination. I suppose the former could too, but it seems more likely that Angel would see her face or that he would see a woman with a blank face. The whole thing yanked me out of the narrative as I thought "Hmm, they couldn't get SMG." Too jarring.

The hidden face was bloody obvious. The oddness in the voice was because they used sound bites from old Buffy episodes, so the intonation was intended for entirely different situations.

Then again, its a nightmarish thing to be next to someone you know and recognise but you can't see their face, same goes for weird voices. But yeah, it was weak, though its definatly something I can live with. SMG is a big shot star now who has other thing to do than come back for a sex cameo. So faking her is acceptable, and like someone else pointed out, the story called for Buffy to show up in Angel's nightmares.

Would Have Been Hillarious If They'd Used Harmony In The Blonde Wig, From When Spike Realizes He Loves Buffy.
