September 27th? That's the day after Linda Hamilton's birthday - she's my favourite actress - sorry, I just had to get that in :)

I really enjoyed your post. I liked the comparison you did as well. I have many issues with S5 of ANGEL because I *do* believe they wrote Spike, this smart, saavy, sensitive and intuitive man, as an idiot. It's over now, though. I have to move on :) which is why I liked your post. You reminded me that Spike was smart enough to figure out Pavane's intent. Thank you!
