3/10: Dad

[beccaelizabeth]

Lorne: "Yeah. I'd also be in awe. Look at him."

Angel looks down at the screaming baby in his arms.

Lorne: "He's more than a mission, bro. *Look* at him. Look at him."

Lorne turns and walks out of the room as Angel keeps looking at the baby, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Angel sits down in a chair.

Angel: "It's all right. It's gonna be alright. It's gonna be all right."

The baby continues to scream.

Angel: "Hey. Shh."

Angel makes a face and silly noises.

Angel: "Do you like that?"

The baby continues to scream.

Angel: "Well, obviously. Okay. How about this one?"

Angel pulls on his ears, makes another face and silly noises. The baby continues to scream.

Angel: "Okay. I only got one more in me."

Angel sighs and morphs into vamp-face. The baby looks up at him, stops crying and after a moment its eyes start drooping. A big smile spreads over Angel's face.

Angel: "Yeah, that's my little guy! You like that, don't you? A bootchee-wootchee..."

Vamp face as a baby toy: Cute, yet disturbing.
Angel in this episode: see above.
... Angel pretty much always, when you think about it...

I like Angel going from total possessive obsessive to handing over completely to the team.
The bit with Wesley's desk was the funniest.

Also? Exploding teddy bear! Win!

I'm not sure I like a hospital accepting a newborn baby with no readily apparent mother. Are there not rules? "Hi, we found this kid in the street, is it healthy?"

Angel's eventual solution is interesting. We get the cooperation and teamwork speech, and then we get a solution that relies on being utterly unfair... cooperatively. erm... this isn't a moral of the story kind of show...

Angel cute as a dad.

Baby very cute... for the length of watching an episode. For the length of filming one? Bet it was less cute.

Yay! Love having Lorne there at the hotel!!

And it’s fun to see Angel being all “dad” while the rest of them are battling the bad guys.

**snerk** “And seeing as you once nearly had sex on my desk I shouldn't be surprised that now there is a baby on it.”

Hah! Dangers include Frank. ;D

And now we get a typical Angel plan. Erase everyone on the list. Sure! No problem!

Darla got off easy. Yeah, that’s a Holtz way of thinking. Also? I’d be cranky if I were Sahjahn too. And really? The “stake thru the heart and poof” plan would really have been the thing to do. But, see, that’s the problem with selecting Mr. Super-vengence. Simple kill is not gonna be his thing.

Yay! Demons, Demons, Demons web site!

Also a typical Angel way of dealing with things. You guys, work harder!

“Clever loophole. We could use some of those Nyazian Scroll writers in Contracts and Negotiations.” **snicker** “That's a cute little baby. Yes, you are. And your daddy is a vampire with a soul. And sometimes he reverts to a creature of pure, malevolent evil, who could rip your tiny throat out. Yes, he does. . . . . I like kids. The Senior Partners took mine before I really got to know them.” **snortle**

Awwwwww. Angel trying to stop the crying with Teddy and duets with Lorne (including Teddy choreography) and so on. Ha!! Too cute!! ;D

Yay! Files and Records woman!!

Oh, I’d forgotten that Holtz recruits Justine in this ep. She should have hung onto her initial suspicion of “creepy stalker” him.

Love how Cordy tries to put reality in front of Angel so succinctly and effectively. You’re gonna need help, dude! Just cope with the idea!

Lorne slept like a baby. Ha! Tough room indeed.

More and more baddies. More and more danger. You need others to help you, Angel!

Oh, Lilah. Why don’t you already know how to get info from Files and Records? Tsk, tsk! “I know everything in every case file.”

“I know that I can shape and hone you into an instrument of vengeance.” See, when you hear stuff like that, Justine? You should get the hell away from the person saying it!!

A brawl over who can kill them first might be to your advantage. Thin the herd, so to speak.

“I'm sure tripping over our dead bodies will slow them down.” Ha! Also, Gunn’s snark about firing them was a good one. We learn later that this is all a con, but they certainly know how to do it, don't they? Little bit of truth coming out in the snark, eh?

Oh, Linwood. Oh, Gavin. You’re both just digging your own graves, aren’t you?

Gunn:What are you doing?
Wes: Trying to imagine myself as John Wayne in Rio Bravo. You?
Gunn: Austin Stoker, Assault on Precinct Thirteen.
Cordy: If we live through this, trade in your DVD Players and get a life.

God, I love this Fang Gang era! Gunn and Wes before it all goes to hell between them, with Cordy snarking and Fred babbling? The best!

Fight, fight! Fake-out with Angel, fake-out with Angel! Car chase and car crash! Fake baby toss! Woo!

Nice job they do with deconstructing the scam for us, using W&H as the medium for a lot of the explaning. Works well.

College fund.

“Geraldo Angel. You’re a pet psychiatrist with a small practice in Pacoima. Oh, and you fight crime- We just told them the name part. The rest is me, having fun.”

It is just so quintessentially Angel. ;D

Love the bear! Also, the fact that Angel is so messed up and trying to convince himself he's not, that he's giving himself a pep talk by talking to the soon-to-be-exploding bear. ;D

I'm not sure I like a hospital accepting a newborn baby with no readily apparent mother. Are there not rules? "Hi, we found this kid in the street, is it healthy?"

**snort** Well, I fanwank that they tell them the dad is just about to arrive, so as long as one parent is there, the baby is not just a "found" one.

Angel's eventual solution is interesting. We get the cooperation and teamwork speech, and then we get a solution that relies on being utterly unfair... cooperatively. erm... this isn't a moral of the story kind of show...

**snicker** No, it really isn't. Well, unless the moral is always "here's how people fuck up sometimes, try not to do this, but we know you're probably gonna sometimes".

Angel cute as a dad.
