Trick ,'First Date'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
I had been thinking about the title just before the episode came on (because our cable menu either mentioned the title, or the plot, which I know is FH&T). I knew it was the one where nekkid Angel falls from the sky at the end, and was thinking, "that must be the hope." As soon as Willow said, "Scott Hope at 11 o'clock," I dope slapped myself.
I wonder just how many times I've seen this episode? It might have been my very first BtVS episode, actually.

Not just that - but how many times I have actually carefully considered that title.

I feel ya'. I remember reading here somewhere that it was such a great title, one of the best, blah, blah. And I was, like, huh? (To be fair, I hadn't seen the episode ... I did know what it was about, though). Then I saw it on DVD ... oh THAT'S why it's so great.. Yeah, OK. And, sadly, my Fox affiliate didn't show Buffy at the regular time on Saturday, so I missed FH&T. Bummer.
On the other hand, the WB showed Rocky. Hee, hee! Rocky! It's been years and years. Gotta love Rocky. I had so much fun!
I was about to comment on the freakiness of Boreanaz' lookalike starring in the film To Live and Die in L.A. before realizing I was getting it confused with That Was Then, This Is Now.

I learned the title To Shanshu... before seeing the episode, and I spoiled myself. Right away, I thought, "To Live and Die in L.A." and then went...oh.
Can we back up to "Faith, Hope, and Trick"? Is that clever on the level of your "Shanshu", or are you guys just remembering Scott Hope?
are you guys just remembering Scott Hope?
Rub it in why don't you? : )
Yes. I always thought the "hope" just referred to Angel coming back. Even though I knew Scott's name was Hope and I knew that's where he got introduced (like Faith and Trick). Sometimes things just take a while to connect...
I'm with Tina. Just slow on the uptake.
Also slow on the Scott Hope uptake.
See, my problem is that I instantly translated it into Seventh Day Hopist, one of the few religions based on a misprinted Bible. "Faith, Hop, and Charity, and of these, the greatest is hop."
