That monologue in the church from Connor was the first time I felt any true sympathy for the character. His whole story is so deeply tragic, unfortunately it's all been overshadowed by his despicable actions

I don't know if this explains Lilah's sudden appearance, but I wonder if you remember what Holland Manners said to Angel on the way to the Home Office. His contract with the Senior Partners extended beyond death. Perhaps the same holds true for Lilah.

In this episode we see what the writers were going for with Connor. What he really wants is to be a part of something. To belong. That's why he went along with Jasmine's indoctrination. He's not unlike a lost youth joining a cult. It's a good idea for a character to be honest. But I don't think they pulled it off. And now we know Jasmine's real name. I think I'll keep on using "Jasmine" though.

Lexi! So you eat people to look this good? Hmmm...so that means your real name is Lexmine? Which I cannot say, because then you might lose your powers!!! Yeah, this is kind of a Buffy s4 situation. The big bad gets killed off in ep 21 and we will have a different kind of finale. Yay! Which means I will remind you (and I know some people are getting tired of me saying this), don't watch the S5 opening credits. About the tech problems, I'm not a tech person, but I think someone once said that if you have an open window or door or something...the mic can get crazy. Could that be it? No worries though, the sound wasn't that bad. LOVED your reaction BTW:-)

Stephanie Romanov--- should've become a superstar.

I'm paraphrasing. Jasmine to Connor- "Are you questioning me?" Well, yes he was, in that he was asking you a question. Actually, Connor has every right to question Jasmine. He's her father.

Interestingly, Jasmine's "true face" effect appears to be the same as Vocah's from the season 1 finale. It seems to be a coincidence, like they just reused the type of effect for a creepy demon face, but it does present the implications that Cordelia actually first became infected or marked to become host or incubator or whatever for Jasmine, when Vocah opened her mind in the season 1 finale.

"End world peace? Well, you've already taken care of that!"

"I just eat a couple of people and then I'm glowing." I knew it! Also, phrasing.

Stargazer1682

"Never give up, never surrender." Pretty sure Gunn was probably quoting Galaxy Quest.

Between the tech tirade and the sexual innuendos, Lexi is my spirit animal.

So to review, in this reaction we learned that in order to watch this show, Lexi has to make herself hard, which may be before or after she's eaten someone, giving herself a glow (usually the other way around). And she'll gladly you trade you free will in exchange for free orgies. Are we sure Lexi isn't Jack Harkness?

Yes, Connor needs to go, I agree. I do enjoy this show, but I think one of the main reasons I do not like it as much as Buffy is because of Connor. He's really overstayed his welcome. Omg the ending of this reaction was so funny!!! I'm glad you left that in. lol I thought the audio sounded fine though. :)

Ron Fehr

The audio sounded a little echo-y or distant to me, almost as if only the mike from the video screen was picking up her voice. That is if she has a second mike on her of course. I admit I may be wrong about that, but that's what it sounded like to me.

Another great reaction and fun to watch as always. Loved your reaction to Lilah's appearance - been looking forward to that and you didn't disappoint. And I really appreciate how you can have so much dislike for Conner's character, but still find your way around to wishing he can maybe find some peace and have a quiet life somewhere and not be so angry. It speaks volumes about your character! And like Britney said above I love that you kept the little clip at the end where you discovered the sound issue. Got a good laugh out of that. Thanks for the great reaction!

Something occurred to me earlier today. Both shows, Buffy and Angel, had characters going through some emotional upheaval in their penultimate seasons. Buffy was dealing with learning to appreciate being alive again, and Connor was dealing with what his purpose was and with fitting in somewhere.

Tah-Dah! The First has arrlved at The Hyperion. Enjoy.

Robin Davies

Hey, you could watch Mad Men and see Vincent Kartheiser playing another unpleasant character!

A Buffyverse series ending the serial arc in the penultimate episode of a season that was kind of all over the place is apparently a season 4 trope.

I have to admit, when this first aired, I was a teenager and I was in love with Connor and his whole tortured soul. I was definitely an 'I can fix him' girl back then LMAO. His whole story is so sad and he just keeps making the wrong choices because he has no idea how to actually rely on anyone else and quickly loses trust because his formative years legitimately ruined him and he needs hardcore supernatural therapy. Possibly the saddest thing is that he NEVER felt the absolute devotion/happiness/love/peace that everyone else was feeling in Jasmine's presence. He pretended because it helped ease the pain for a while to feel like these people actually loved him unconditionally but they never really did and some were openly hostile. I just feel so bad for him and I want him to be happy.
