Review of “Blind Date” A very interesting episode, which I enjoyed the more times I watched it (which often happens with this show). There are many things to comment on so let's get to it! Has anyone noticed that Cordelia's computer skills have improved greatly since the first ep! I was told that things were going to get a little W&H heavy but it's finally good to get more of an insight into this 'evil law firm,' though that may not necessarily be an oxymoron. Seeing the extents to which they are willing to go, with the death of Lee, was a bit shocking. And three sub-levels? These guys have a lot to hide! Glad to finally see an ep featuring the talents of Christian Kane (Lindsey). This gifted young man is currently working on a movie in North Carolina with none other than Marc Blucas (Riley) during their summer hiatus. Angel takes a bit of an ass whooping here, which, in a way, is nice to see -- 'yeah he's human too!' J. August Richards (Gunn) quickly returns for a repeat performance from last week. Nicely done. The Prophecy set up regarding Angel was excellent. Not sure if this will lead more towards next weeks Season Finale or next season but liking this plan! And finally, if the romantic rumors are true about Alyson Hannigan(Willow) and Alexis Denisof(Wesley) then Cordy's phone conversation to Willow was a funny insiders bit! Touché there! I give it . . .

Cordelia: What, Helen Kellerus Homicidus? Lee: Is it me or is there something kind of hot about her? I'm just saying, I wouldn't say no. I'd be too scared to. Holland: Two minutes alone with that woman and I feel like my spine's been fused. Angel: How am I supposed to fight evil if they won't even put it behind bars? Angel: There's no guilt, torment, consequences. It's pure... I remember what that was like. Sometimes I miss that clarity. Cordelia: But not the trying to kill your family and friends part right? Just checking. Angel: Nothing ever changes. Lindsey: I need your help. Lindsey: You think this is a trick? Angel: Are you afraid of me Lindsey? Think maybe I'm gonna kill you? Lindsey: No. Angel: Well, I'm smelling a whole lot of big, stinky, mortal terror. So no, I don't think this is a trick. I think its a big joke. Angel: You sold your soul for a fifth floor office and a company car. Angel: I'm sorry, I nodded off. Did you get to the part where you're evil? Lindsey: I get myself killed, that'll convince you I've changed? Angel: It's a start. Gunn: Give me one good reason. Angel: It'll be extremely dangerous. Gunn: Okay. Gunn: Whoo, Whoo! My God! They told me it was true, but I didn't believe em. Damn, here it is. Evil white folks really do have a mecca. Now, now, now girls, don't get all riled up. (Screams) Did you just step on my foot? Was that my foot you just stepped on? Are you assulting me up in this haven of justice?! Somebody get me a lawyer, because my civil rights have seriously been violated. Oh, I get it, y'all can cater to the demon... cater to the dead man... but what about the black man!? Cordelia: Willow says, “Hey!” Cordelia: Are you telling me self-mutilating, psycho assassin chick reached enlightenment? Quotes by CoA Council member, Sasha
