In the twelfth episode of the fourth season of Angel<\/em>, the group scrambles to deal with Angel’s misplaced soul while learning that the Beast is basically a PROLOGUE. Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to watch Angel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I DON’T UNDERSTAND<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I don’t get it! I know I am missing a puzzle piece but IT’S TOO BIG OF A PUZZLE PIECE TO EVEN GUESS WHAT THE PIECE LOOKS LIKE. I don’t get how the Powers That Be would give Cordelia a false vision, or a vision of a trick, and I don’t understand how they would let whatever happened to her happen to her<\/em>. How the fuck<\/em> is it even possible that she<\/em> was the one who let Angel out? I just re-watched that scene, and IT LOOKS VERY CLEAR THAT ANGELUS TRICKED HER AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. How is that final line true? HOW IS IT TRUE?<\/p>\n

I DON’T UNDERSTAND<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t get how you can have an entire episode feature Lilah Morgan as the most brilliant, sarcastic foil to the entire group at Angel Investigations, hinting at how splendid it would be if she spent time with these people she clearly<\/em> hated, and giving us an idea of how necessary<\/em> it was that she still appear on the show. THEN YOU KILL HER OFF AT THE VERY END<\/strong>, and not only do you do that, you have the one character do it who is so moral and good that <\/em>SHE LITERALLY ASCENDED TO A HIGHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE AT THE END OF THE LAST SEASON<\/em><\/strong>. There is no universe in which this makes any sense, I am furious with frustration, and why are all of these choices being made?<\/em><\/p>\n

I DON’T UNDERSTAND<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you reveal that Los Angeles is nearly destroyed from the influx of demons and vampires due to the lack of the sun and not<\/em> spend more time on this awesome idea? This isn’t a complaint so much as a loving ode to this fantastic moment that BETTER BE DEVELOPED IN THE NEXT EPISODE. THANK YOU.<\/p>\n

I DON’T UNDERSTAND<\/strong><\/p>\n

much of anything at all right now.<\/p>\n

Except these things:<\/p>\n
