rfmcdonald | Buffy and Angel, (Reply)

There wasn't all that much remarkable about Buffy, though it was a good episode: "Conversations with Dead People" just illustrated the future course of the season, while this episode just emphasized things. The First Evil is busy, and poor ensouled Spike.

Angel's "Apocalypse, Nowish" was excellent. We can say conclusively that, yes, there will most definitely be a crossover between Buffy and Angel, given how Cordelia was talking of the horrible entity which will rise from deep beneath the Earth to ravage the world and kill everyone. "From beneath you, it devours"? The apocalypse won't be confined to Sunnydale, or to Los Angeles, or even to SoCal as a whole: It'll be global.

You can tell that it's quite serious. It wasn't that the creature surfaced at the exact same spot where Connor was born only a year ago, or that it turned the bodies of those slaughtered nightclubbers into a vast pyre, or that fire began to rain from the sky, or even that Cordelia decided to boink Connor since the world was going to end anyway sand he might as well not die a virgin. No, it was that Lilah was gazing out at the cityscape of Los Angeles through her Wolfram & Hart office's plate-glass windows, looking worried.

We're getting into Lovecraftian territory, and I love it.
