AtS - Beige!Angel has recovered and the gang has traveled to Pylea.
When we were looking ahead at episode titles from mid-season, Aeryn's comment was "Ooh, reprise. That's when you repeat a song from earlier in the musical with perhaps some slight changes" and I told them to remember that because it was about to be EXTREMELY RELEVANT. (See also: Epiphany aka the opposite of Innocence.)
A was disappointed in Harmony joining the pyramid scheme (because it meant she wouldn't be sticking around in the cast) for about three seconds and then said "But no, of course Harmony immediately joined the vampire cult."
The back half of S2 is my favorite phase of the Angel/Cordy friendship, and I'm pre-emptively annoyed because I know Future Show is going to RUIN IT.
I'm still salty about that almost 24 years later.
A is sure that Lorne's not dead because "I think he gets added to the main credits at some point and you can't be in the main cast if you're dead."
Normally this would be airtight TV logic, unfortunately tomorrow night we are going to watch The Gift.
(My counter argument that (a) Buffy died in S1 and she's the title character and (by) technically Angel has been dead this whole time was met with an appropriate amount of teenage skepticism. And they are actually correct about Lorne! But also, tomorrow, The Gift.)
But also, tomorrow, The Gift.
You can tell her that Jacqueline and I met on the night of its airing.
I mean, Doyle was also in the main credits until he wasn't.
She saved the world a lot 😭😭😭
I remember the jokes about the extremely spoiler-averse not wanting to know that the series was coming back the next year on a different network.

I have a friend who was in East Germany and she only watched the show on a multi-week delay after someone sent her the videotapes. She ranted on an X-Files mailing list about how THIS is how you end a show, goddammit!
... it was very funny.
