Picking Up The Pieces…of your face. — Peace Out: The Rant

Warning: Spoilerish to the amount of 10.
– This is a hard one to rant about, seeing as though it felt like 75% of the episode were fight scenes.

– Let me get this straight – Connor knows what Jasmine looks like, but it doesn’t bother him. He didn’t mind believing in her, even though he always had free will over her. But then he starts asking about where she put Cordy, and all of a sudden he wants his free will to find her? Ok…I was just clearing that up.

– Ok…Angel is seeking Jasmine’s name in another dimension. He’s met up with “The Guardian of the word”, who thens tells him he doesn’t want him, he wants the “Keeper of the name”. Has Tolkien come back from the dead to write this episode?

– There’s Gunn, kicking away at the cell door. Oops…what do you know, it unlatched. I was going to let this go, but I re-watched the episode and it was just too ridiculous.

– Connor finds the National Cordelia Movers Association standing around outside the hotel. He did it all with that K9-like sniffer of his. He could go to work for the LAPD as a drug-sniffing dog. Wouldn’t it be nice to see him with a collor and a choke chain? *YANK* Good times.

– He finds the church where Cordelia is lying, and proceeds to go into a crybaby tantrum. “I need someone to listen to me bitch. No one else will do it. Cordelia, you’re in a coma…you’ll listen!”

– Jasmine’s real name? You guessed it… “AHHHHGAHHHHARAAANNNWWAA
AAAAAHHHHAAAHHAAGAAAAAAA”.

– Jasmine and Angel argue and fight. Apparently there is some sort of question involved during this whole thing — would you rather have peace on earth and no free will, or free will and absolutely no peace? My head hurts.

– WOW! Connor kills Jasmine with his amazing “I CAN PUNCH THROUGH FACIAL BONES” smack. There’s just way too much Connor and his weird abilities in this episode.

– It’s LILAH! OH PRAISE THE LORD, SHE’S BACK! Now I want a hella-good explanation or you’ll piss me off.

Final Verdict: It was ok the first time I watched it. The second time it wasn’t good at all, but more things make more sense on Angel right now than on Buffy, and that’s kind of sad. This was an action-packed episode full of crappy Connor scenes. That’s about the best way I can put it.

Rating: 3 STAKES

Rant Over.
