The Girl in Question.

First of all, for clever and deep thoughts about this ep (as well as a lot of giggles), read these two posts by yhlee . Really, really excellent!

That lets me focus on the relationships. :)

The most obvious problem with this episode is that it stands out like a sore thumb amongst the other late-S5 eps. There’s a gradual build-up of darkness throughout S5 and then third last from the end we get something that is just silly and ridiculous and farcical. Pure comedy. And not just that, but pure *romantic* comedy. About Spike and Angel. Sure it’s way, way, way over the top - so over the top that sometimes it’s floating in free air and I wonder if the writers were on crack - but I can’t help loving it because it’s the most wonderful slashy love story.
