Angel 5.19 - Time Bomb
This episode was like Buffy 7.19 (Empty Places). It's the one where Buffy gets kicked out of her own house. It doesn't really serve much purpose other than exposition for the final episodes. We spent the whole hour finding out that Illyria's powers will be greatly reduced and Angel seems to be doing what the Senior Partners want him to do. Other than that, The Apocalypse is still AWOL.

Funniest parts: Wes in his office acting all obsessive over Illyria; Lorne going in cognito and struggling with the walkie-talkie; Marcus Hamilton to Angel "This is a business, not a Batcave"; Harmony asking if the demons would like coffee, tea, or organic colas. Okay, so this episode was stingy on the zingers and comedy.

More jabs at CEOs: Marcus Hamilton going "Think profits! Profits profits profits!" I wonder if The WB execs know that was directed at them. Probably not.

Gunn comes back to stacks of files on his desk. But he doesn't do much other than freak out over Amanada signing demon pacts. And Angel ends up helping the demons. Even Wes was weird because he's Illyria's only friend. Spike didn't do much either. This episode was strange.

Yes. I know this was a pitiful entry. But nothing in mind sticks out even though I watched the episode less than 24 hours ago. Illyria's powers are more controllable now. And the powers Wes sucked up through that gun may become important. Angel has something up his sleeve. Got it. Go team.
