Spoiler Forum: Angel S5, Eps 1, 2, 3

And just in case anyone wants to discuss this week's Angel eps in relation to the end of S5 or the comics, here is the spoiler forum.

Some of the things Knox says don't really jive with later developments. I'm assuming they knew they wanted to use Jonathan but didn't really know how. At the moment he's just a vessel for Wes' jealousy.

Angel does pretty much hack away at the client list by the finale.

Spike and Angel may deny they're anything like each other, but they protest too much. That comparison is the story of this season.

Spike's character may be a bit off because he's terrified - and the next episode will give good reason for it.

Colleen/redeem 147, your point about Knox makes sense. They probably didn't have his character fleshed out yet. I did find it bitterly ironic, though, when he said something about his not being evil and just working there.

While I haven't seen these episodes since they aired, I'm guessing that if not outright lying he could rationalize the statement by saying that worship of Illyria wasn't evil — unless I'm forgetting and he ends gleefuly copping to being evil, like the strike-team leader in 5.1, which has never made sense to me.

Just to clarify, I don't get people — as opposed to the soulless and thus evil by definition in the Slayerverse — calling themselves evil rather than defining their perspective in more self-righteous if not flattering terms even if others would call their behavior evil.
