    Lorne knew about the cameras because they were causing the humming he was hearing. The note likely told Angel about said cameras and to meet him in the janitor's closet so they could talk without W&H hearing them.

    My take on her having the baby is: She knew it was human so her death wouldn't necessarily kill the baby. There was this prophecy that they thought was about the baby not being born. So she did what she could to ensure the baby would be alive. When she realized how it could not make it since the situation was dire, she gave it a chance by suicide. I think she did out of love, not for herself but fully for the chance of saving her child.

    For Alley's edification:
    "The Irish origin of Connor is traced to the Gaelic name Conchobhar, which means "lover of hounds." In Irish myths and legends, dogs are revered: They symbolize loyalty and are taken to be a sign of good luck. Anyone who's a lover of hounds embodies those characteristics."

    I think in Dad it's only fair that Lorne is given a place to stay after his club keeps getting destroyed ever since he met Angel and his crew. Angel being so over protective of the child it becomes unnerving. Lilah talking to the girl in files and records is quite a funny scene at first, then we realise she is king of Automaton giving Lilah all the info on Holtz. It's almost like a metaphor for 'blood is thicker than water' when Angel it seems just leaves them all in the hotel putting his 'blood' family over his 'adopted' family. Wolfram and Heart of course have the place bugged with video as well. The teddy bear bomb a great scene in deceiving them all. Interesting when we get 'welcome Conor' , who for a while is possibly many fans most hated character in The Buffyverse! Nice final shot with the five walking away with Angel and the pushchair. Another really great S3 episode.

  • @davewolf6256

    It was kind of this episode where I realized Wolfram and Hart are more funny than intimidating at this point. It was when Angel breaks into W+H for the millionth time and threatens the older lawyer guy. At this point, are they supposed to be threatening or something??

    • @9ansean
      @9ansean 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's amazing right. Clearly Wolfram & Hart has a ton of supernatural and scientific powers at their disposal. Access to ancient prophecies and folks to translate them, powerful demons to do there bidding, influence in politics and organized crime, and yet...there security is so CRAP that there meeting are busted in on repeatedly! One would think they'd have more ways to keep this from happening. Literal fire walls. Two-headed hell hounds. Plagues of Locus in a jar. Something! LOL

    For the initial question in this video (a minute in), I think everyone is overthinking Darla's blasé response to Holtz being around.
    My take is that there is no great meaning to what she said, other than resignation.
    She was probably just thinking, "Things can't possibly get any worse." On any other day, she would think it was insane that a human somehow time-skipped centuries and was still fixated on the sole purpose of revenge against her and Angel. But after all the weird and stressful events they just went through, Darla was probably resigned that the most unthinkable, terrible thing would "of course" happen.

    So I don't know if you know, but Connor is a very very common Irish name as well as a pretty old one (like Liam)
    I can get why you wouldn't be a fan of it but I've always really liked that Angel picked a name from his human past for the kid, just seems kinda wholesome to me

  • @naet1983

    Darla's last words were "This child is the one good thing we ever did together. The only good thing. You make sure to tell him that"
    This tells me that she felt the child would survive. She gave her life so that he would be born. For her, it was the only way to ensure his survival. Her first and only selfless act.

      Also Darla mentioned that the baby was mystically protected, so she couldn't kill it or take it out during the pregnancy. That is a drawback when it is actually time to give birth, even if vampires/demons were actually physically capable to carry a human to term. Darla figured out the only way around that mystical protection. (And figured that it would work, otherwise it would have been meaningless to whatever higher power that caused the miracle.)

    I don’t quite understand Darla having to stake herself to have the baby (in terms of her body not sustaining the human baby and it looking like she’s going to lose the baby). I understand why Darla would be upset by the idea of not caring about her child once she gives birth, but her body was already going through extreme physical changes to accommodate for the baby, so why would giving birth be different? I feel like she should have physically been able to give birth without issue.

    • @riel4553
      @riel4553 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it's like Angel not being able to revive Buffy at the end of Buffy S1. They always say that 'vampires don't breathe' but they do circulate the air, that's how they're able to smoke; Angel could've taken air and blown it into Buffy like a machine.
      But it seems (to me that) these vampires cannot give Life. The baby was ready to be born, Darla´s body was ready to give birth, and then it stopped because whatever mystical reason they're using. And before that the plot makes sure to mention that a C-section wasn't an option either.

    Angel is father of the year. He always loves Connor regardless much more.
    According to Buffy The Vampire Slayer The Watcher's Guide book, Angel's real name before he turned into legendary most sadistic ruthless vampire Angelus is Liam O'Malley.
    Connor will have last name O'Malley.
    Can't believe nobody knows what's Angel's full real name.
    Cordelia Chase is surrogate mom of Connor. She's closest thing to Connor he have as mom after he lost his biological mother Darla died sacrifice herself for him when he was born in November 19, 2001.
    Team Cangel. I'm big major fan of Angel and Cordelia's endgame.
    Connor have two moms in his life is his biological mother Darla and surrogate mom Cordelia Chase.
    I feel sorry for Connor that he lost his biological mother Darla when he was born.

    Hey, Alley, I was just wondering if you'll be reacting to Charmed (the original) after Angel or Dollhouse? Charisma is in at least one episode. I also remembered that I saw a clip of Charisma and James Masters having a marital spat in a Supernatural episode and yet I don't remember you saying anything when they showed up in Buffy? Were they so much younger that it just didn't click?

    The people I would trust to help raise a baby are people that have prior experience being around babies. Of the team, only Gunn has a younger sibling that we know of.
    But I'm afraid Hollywood writers often have too little experience themselves with raising babies, so we get continued tropes and sacrificing accuracy for gag lines. Cordelia, motherly? Based on reading books? I pity the poor kid, and that's before he goes to school saying he's being raised by three dads, two moms, and an uncle, two (three?) of them demons. And a godfather. (Not to knock on Wood, or leave him out...)

    Still not sure why the writers picked Connor, other than it's an Irish name. It's not like they've established that Liam's father was named Connor, or one of his friends. Maybe one of them also had an ex named Connor, and decided, "That's what we'll name this offspring of two demons."

    Of course she did it so the baby would survive. She told Angel to tell him he was the only good thing they'd done together. In the quote right behind you.
    I really think you'd like the Supernatural spinoff The Winchesters and should cover it. It's got more of a Buffy vibe.
    The cage labels were visible in the previous episode, too.
    Oh no! Sorry you had to associate Connor's name with bad experiences on top of everything else. Your reactions to Season 4 are only on Patreon so far, but I have a feeling you won't like him. It must have given you false hope when he went by "Stephen" for a while.
    I guess Angel just picked Connor because it's an Irish name.
    The ringing in Lorne's ears was from W&H's bugs, and he noticed the janitor's closet was the only place without.
