Angel Season 3 Episode 9: Lullaby
This actually went along better than I thought it would. Holtz is really hard to get a read on, and that makes him a really intriguing character. He's a man twisted by vengeance working for the bad guys, but they always tease his shift towards morality. They did that here at the end, saying Holtz isn't going to show mercy, and I'm not quite sure what he means of that other than making Angel suffer by destroying his kid or something. I'm excited to see that come to light.
I enjoyed Darla's death, I mean, as much as you can enjoy death. They gave her an ending monologue, and a cool lead to it with "This child is the only good thing we ever did together...tell him that *STAB DUST*" I thought it was really well done.
The prophecy is a confusing mess and I'll be excited to see it get figured out.
Dammit why do they keep destroying Caritas? Lorne needs a home now. MAYBE HE CAN STAY WITH ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS AND WORK WITH THEM AND BE IN EVERY EPISODE BECAUSE HE'S AWESOME YES YES YES.
My only hope right now is that this baby doesn't become deadweight and hold Angel back. Excluding some crazy accelerated growth rules, I don't see how they have a child around for two and a half more seasons, so I'll be interested to see how they handle that.
