  Now here's something I don't understand: why watch one and not the
other?  You're not the only person I've seen who watches BUFFY but
not ANGEL (haven't seen the converse), but I don't really get it.  They're
on right after each other, they're set in the same universe, they tend to
influence each other, they have similar creative teams, etc.  Is it a
matter of not having that extra hour in the week, or do you find ANGEL
actively unappealing?
  Oh, and I've heard <snip> shows up at least twice on ANGEL this season.

   Sure, it's a standard plot device; but if the victim easily repels the
monster, as happened here, that makes it somewhat non-standard.  And it
wasn't that ineffective against Tara (*BAD* Buffy for ignoring Tara's
injuries at the end!  But I digress.), who only escaped with the aid of
magic.

  Well, David Fury's been talking about how we'll find out about LS/LMM
next season, so I've been looking for more foreshadowing.  And I thought
that "K"aren seemed fairly telegenic.  I wouldn't be surprised to see her
again in some capacity.

  Next season = next season finale, surely (730) so season 6 would deal with 
her.

  Well, if "counting down from 730" means "730 days (= 2 years, almost; I
wonder if Joss forgot about Leap Year?) from May 25, 1999" (the intended
airdate of Grad. Day 2, in which the dream occurred), then that's
certainly plausible.  Especially if it's true that the main cast all have
5-year contracts, as Nicholas Brendon recently claimed; Joss could be  
planting clues to allow him to bring in a new Slayer for Season 6 if SMG
leaves (as she surely might, considering her apparent career ambitions).

  It's not really affected by Leap Year if we are counting Tuesday to 
Tuesday, but then 104 weeks is only 728 days.  However, the date an ep airs 
doesn't have the match the day it takes place anyway.
