Still in Plyea, Cordelia meets the Groosalug, Angel meets Fred and Wes & Gunn meet some unfriendly rebel humans.

Numfar! Do the Dance of Joy!That is all. Linda, until I get to re-watch it, poor me ;D LOVE Numar!!!! ;D Fave funny or fun bits from this one . . . * Cordy messing with them, "Off with their heads. Just kidding." * "In kind of in a hurry to get back to the 'Cordelia is not a princess' dimension, aren't you?" * Angel and the mirror. Seriously. Funny! * Lorne's mom. * NUMFAR! Do the dance of joy - no longer do the dance of joy - do the dance of shame. All purpose Numfar, put a coin in him and watch him go! Joss was obviously having So! Much! Fun! * "Well, you're just a regular Hans Christian Tarantino, aren't you?" * Priest guy: The com-shuk is a mating ritual. Gunn: (aside to Cordy) I told you it was dirty. (. . . .) Cordy: It's been a really long time since I've had a . . . good com-shuk. (You know, when she's complaining about demons always wanting to spawn with her, I suddenly was like, OMG, she's a demon magnet like Xander! No wonder they got together! ;D ) * "Rebel rumblings." (What can I can, I sometimes find the smallest goofiest things to be waaaay funny. ;D ) * Wes being all convicing about going into the sewer to escape and then his "ewwww" when he goes into it. * Fred so worried about how they got Cordy and Angel being all "Oh. Cordy. No, she's fine. They made her a princess." and then Fred's perfectly delivered - "They... Really? - Oh. When I got here they... They didn't do that. Well. That's nice for her." * Cordy being just totally gobsmacked by the Groosalug. "Heck, I'm all cow!" * I giggle just over the fact that they keep calling him "the Angel-beast", because I can't help thinking about Dru!! * Wes: That strange wild girl saved us - from Angel. Gunn: Something very freaky is going on here. * The whole conversation where Wes is so sure he can convince the Lost Boys, Robin Hood's Merry Men the rebels not to kill him and Gunn, that ends with Gunn's line: "Have I mentioned just how glad I am I decided to leave my people behind in LA so I could come here to die?"

The Pylea arc is when Cordy starts getting phased out and Fred starts getting phased in as the heart of the gang. It's kind of interesting to compare their situations in this episode.
Favorite moments in TTLG:
*the jab at Angel's hair "no, it always looks like that."
* Lorne's mom being played by a male actor, suggesting something interesting about the gender of Lorne's species (all the green folk we see are male, I think)
*Numfar! (thanks for posting the image, Linda!)
*The jab at I Fall To Pieces
*Lorne using his singing as a weapon
*All the Fred speak, especially "they made Cordy a princess? Oh, that's nice for her."
*The music when Fred appears to draw away Angel from Gunn and Wesley.
*Groo equating "actress" with "concubine" and Cordy realizing her Princess Leia outfit looks almost exactly like the bikini she was wearing for the commercial shoot.
*Cordy outlawing polyester.

Hi all! Eetah with all of the above! While Numfar is my favorite bit from this episode, you guys mentioned some other fun stuff! Another moment that I liked: poor Lorne being shoved aside as Angel, looked down upon as a cow only seconds before, was suddenly welcomed and feted on Landok's word. Very cool that they figured out the "trombonal" guys were not to be trusted because of the covers of the sacred books. Wolf. Ram. And Hart. I believe it was symbolically significant that Cordy failed to escape from her castle prison because of her attachment to her booty. No, not *that* booty. Material things. (Hee! on Cordy's outrage at what she thought Gunn meant.) I reiterate that I think it's *neat* how Lorne's superpower in his old world is Music! "It burns! It burns!" Oh, and eetah with Liz about the music while Fred leads the Angel-beast away. It reminds me of the music from The Terminator somehow. I wonder if that's deliberate. 'Cause the message from T-2 was that we make our own fate in the face of an approaching apocalypse. (BTW, T-3 doesn't exist in my world.) The Angel-Beast is another one of those metaphor moments. And one more sign that Angel's habit of compartmentalizing is not of the good. The either/or thing where he is all hero or all beast is something he has to work on. I guess Angel's fascination with his reflection at the beginning of this episode has to do with his *really* liking the image of himself as a hero, without those pesky moral ambiguities (except for the hair -- it's always about the hair) ;D. But when you ignore said ambiguities, the monster rages even further out of control when it comes out of hiding. Only by acknowledging it can you start to accept it and control it. Linda, of course, hopefully blending the two *won't* lead to Lawyers in a Cellar or Big Dumb Plans.
