Review ofSense and Sensitivity

This episode is probably my least favorite so far; an episode looking at the depths of our ‘inner moppit’. The good thing is that Joss has left his formulas behind and has branched out into new territory. Not really a demon per say in this episode, just misguided demon magick. But it lacks anything that we are really interested in. Nothing new is set up except maybe a little more insight to Kate's character and how she may feel about Angel. We know Angel is a bit on the brooding side, always has been and still is, so what, Cordelia has just found this out?

What I did like and very much so, was the comic banter! It was hilarious to see Angel out of character. Cordy, with the realization that she is the only sane person around and so desperately tries to direct Angel is brilliant on many levels. Angel in an Aloha shirt and hat? Nuff said! No wait, one more . . . “My parents were great. Tasted a lot like chicken!” Ah a reflection of Angelus! And a little side humor for those who know that David [Boreanaz] has quite an affliction when it comes to chicken! Although we don't know Kate that well, it was nice to see that Elizabeth Rohm has some stretch quality. The more I see of her the more I like the connection between her character and Angel. Once again Wolfram & Hart show themselves on the fringes. This time they seem just a bit more interested in Angel. Ah, the mix begins to thicken.


I give it . . .
